    EagleAliens

    (for Macintosh)
    James Gips and William Ames
    Boston College
    August 2012
    The EagleAliens program is a simple video-game used to calibrate the user and develop control
    of EagleEyes. It has been the first video-game that many EagleEyes users have ever played, and
    is often played at the start of sessions.

    Generally you start up the game using the mouse. When this initial screen is reached, the mouse
    pointer becomes a red crosshair. Switch control of the mouse over to the user. Wait until the
    user has sufficient control with EagleEyes. Then you can press the Spacebar (Space key) and the
    game is begun.
    When the Spacebar is pressed an alien invader appears. The user must use EagleEyes (or the
    mouse) to move the crosshair on top of the alien within the time limit, which causes the alien to
    explode. (If you dont want the child to blow up aliens, feel free to skip this game.) No mouse
    click is needed. The grey bar at the top of the screen displays the time left for the current alien,
    and the current score.

    After each wave of 10 aliens, the users score and average time appears. To start another game,
    press the Spacebar.

    To customize the game to a specific user one can adjust the time limit, the level of difficulty,
    sound, and picture of the alien. These options are explained in the following menu-bar
    descriptions.
    We generally consider a user to have proficiency with EagleEyes if the person can shoot down 9
    or 10 aliens consistently.
