Native language test program for kids

[Petr]

Very easy test program (for CZ language, but it can inspire you) for testing your kids from correct write. In my native language are big difference if is word writed with i or with y. Or this character is used with comma. For example the word BYT. Is not byte as in english, but it is HOME. But if i write BIT, it is not BITE as in english but it is HIT or BATTER. This is tested in school, if kids writing all words correct. This program create test, program write not  this characters, kids after is program output printed, inserting it. Easy but very effective. Text is inserted to program using _CLIPBOARD$.

Code: [Select]

'CLIPPY, labels names ARE CORRECT :-D
_TITLE "Czech language correct writing test for kids"
A$ = _CLIPBOARD$
path$ = ENVIRON$("SYSTEMROOT") + "\fonts\TIMES.ttf"
_FONT _LOADFONT(path$, 30, "MONOSPACE")
