Description: Quiz for 1 or 2 players, consisting in guessing the name of birds based on their picture (120 images included in the .zip archive). There are several levels, including one with exotic birds (what a diversity of bizarre forms and beautiful colors!). The GUI is in German, but birds names are also available in English. For both languages, the first 2 levels allow to use more general names, such as "eagle" instead of "golden eagle". With English names, for all levels, the bird names may be simplified by omitting words like "common", "European", "Western"... Beside the quiz, the program offers a slideshow feature, showing pictures of the birds being part of a given level at one of 4 time intervals, chosen by the user.

Change log:
Version 1.0 (June 2018): Original version of the program.
Version 2.0 (December 2019): Addition of the English bird names.
Version 2.1 (June 2020): Bug fixes (in particular the program hanging, when starting a new quiz).

Free Pascal features: Reading record based files (classical Pascal). Filling a combobox with data from an array of records. Loading random pictures from .jpg files. Using a timer control to make a slideshow.
