Changes in the Gold Edition | |
|
In addition to all the changes mentioned above, version 5.5.1 (Gold edition) includes the following changes:
When creating your own quizzes (on ANYTHING) in the Manage My Quizzes section, you can import your own photos and songs. This allows you to make quizzes on Butterflies, Birds of Costa Rica, Wildflowers or even People! Now, rather than just being able to add two photos for each Thing, you can add up to four photos. Each time you take a quiz the computer will select one photo at random, for an even tougher challenge.
In the Manage My Quizzes section you can now compare two photos Side-by-Side by clicking the new Compare icon. You may also limit the photos you are comparing to just one Category (i.e. Birds of Australia) or to just one Quiz (i.e. Birds of Sydney).
This shows a side-by-side comparison of two birds from Australia: Spotted Pardalote and Forty-spotted Pardalote. This feature is now available in the Gold edition v5.5.1 |
