Green Globs & Graphing
Equations
Updates
for the Green Globs & Graphing Equations Package
These
updates
add two applications (Relating
Graphs to Events and Escape!)
to the Green Globs & Graphing Equations package for both PC and Mac
OS X.
These two applications are Version 2, because Version 1 was 23 years
ago for PC-DOS
and Apple II+. The package containing these two files was called
"Interpreting Graphs". It was released at the same time as "Green Globs
& Graphing Equations". Both packages received Classroom Computer
Learning's "Best Software of the Year" award that year. (Our publisher
refused Macintosh and Windows versions of Interpreting Graphs.)
These updates do not affect your existing PC file "Green
Globs Records.ggg" or your existing Mac OS X file "Globs/Tracker
Records". These updates do not affect any saved student work.
Updates for PC versions
(scroll down to see updates for
Mac OS X versions):
Note: These
downloads do not
include file "Green Globs Records.ggg", which contains your license
information.
You must already
have file "Green Globs Records. ggg" in order for any of these
applications to run. See the "Read Me Install" file in each
download.
Each download includes the manual for that application.
The three application files are packaged as three separate
installations, to allow flexibility in your installation. The
default is to install them all in folder "Green Globs" in the Programs
folder, and to group all three in the Start - All Programs menu under
"Green Globs & Graphing Equations".
If you have an older version of a program installed, you do not need to
un-install it. Just install the new version into the same folder
as the old version, and the installer will replace your old version
with the new version. The installer simply replaces your old
".exe" file with the new ".exe" file; the installer will not
affect any of your "Green Globs Records.ggg" files or require any
changes.
For "Green Globs & Graphing Equations", PC version 3.2 was the
initial release, in June, 2008. PC version 3.3 was released in
September, 2008, to display the encrypted license information on the
title screen properly in the Chinese version of Windows. PC version 3.4
is the current version, fixing an error in the "Restart Game" button in
a Green Globs game. (In version 3.3, if one of the shots had missed all
the globs, "Restart Game" would not erase all the previous shots, and
you would need to click the "Remove Graphs" button to erase the
remaining shots).
For "Relating Graphs to Events" and "Escape!", version 2.2 is the
initial release.

Updates for Mac OS X
versions:
Note: This
download does not
include file "Globs/Tracker
Records", which contains your license
information. You must already
have file "Globs/Tracker
Records" in
order for any of these
applications to run. See the "Installation Notes" file in
the download.
The download includes three application files and a manual for each
application, all in one "dmg" file. There is no installation
program. After downloading and opening the "dmg" file, you can
copy any or all of the applications to one or more folders (such as a
"Green Globs" folder in your Applications folder). Any folder
containing one of the application files must also contain a copy of
your "Globs/Tracker Records" file in order for the application to run.
OS X
will automatically use the
newest version of each application file.
For Mac OS X "Green
Globs & Graphing Equations", version 3.3 was the initial release in
April, 2008.
Version 3.4 was released in June, 2008. The change
from version 3.3 was that version 3.4 does not hide all windows when
you switch to another application.
If you want that in version 3.4, select the "Hide" menu option in the
Green Globs & Graphing Equations menu.
The current version is 3.5. In version 3.4, when you are at the
display of the top ten scores in a Records file, you cannot use the
File menu's "Open..." option to load a game previously saved to disk
using the File menu's "Save..." option.
For Mac OS X "Relating Graphs to Events" and "Escape!", version 2.1
(December, 2008) is the initial release.
