We have finally finished our game. Game play has been tested for bugs and all known bugs have been fixed. We have smoothed out the GUI and everything flows very well. The game is already up on Google Code and is available for download. There is also a youtube video which demonstrates game play. Just search for 'Geography Game Play'.

Current Status
We've realized that we aren't going to be able to make today's deadline as initially hoped.
We're nearly done, but there are major concerns about the quality of the storyline. Obviously, since this is an educational application, that is our main objective: teach children. That being said, we don't want to rush through these little learning segments. They are very slow going, because we have to incorporate facts in a colloquial-like tone.
So, our new goal, is to be completely done with the project by the absolute latest, next Friday. We feel like this is more than enough time to sit down and get quality storyline, and to fix any bugs that may present themselves in the final testing of the application.
After the game is completed, we hope to dive into Android. We think the best way to approach it is to create a basic Android app, much like the graphing program we did for the XO at the beginning of the summer. Then, if willing, we could continue the Android project into the Fall and create a rich, useful application.
