Name Game v2.2.0 — presidents, and it opens on Quiz
What changed
The sample roster is now the fifteen most recent presidents — Franklin Roosevelt
through to the present — from the Library of Congress's
Free to Use and Reuse sets.
It replaces five invented students, so the app can be tried, taught with, or
demonstrated to a room without putting a student's face on screen. Sources for every
photograph are in sample-roster/CREDITS.md.
Card mounts are cropped off. Several of these portraits are photographs of a print on
a card, and the card can carry the sitter's name — Roosevelt's is signed across his.
In a game about recalling names, that is the answer written on the card.
The app opens on Quiz, not Study. Study is one click away, and Ctrl+Tab still
swaps. Landing on Study meant the first thing the app did was show you answers.
The text says "people", not "students." The app works on any folder of faces; only
its wording assumed a classroom, which reads oddly when the photograph is Eisenhower.
Nothing about how it handles your own roster has changed: the photos still never leave
your machine.
