This software is designed for learning pharmacognosy as if playing a game. The content of this software is "a slot machine-like game". The display window of the game is composed of three wheels. The first has the names of original plants or animals, the second has family names and the third has the names of chemical ingredients. When a game start button is pushed, the photographs of a crude drug and the original plant or animal are displayed on the upper part of the three wheels with BGM. The wheels are then moved and the crude drug name is requested in the textbox. The wheel rotation is stopped by pushing the stop button under the three wheels. The user can get points by choosing the right answer from three wheels to five questions. In the case of eight student volunteers, repeated play resulted in a gradual increase of points. As we can use the software on the internet, anyone can use it anytime,anywhere and free of charge. We hope that many students learning pharmacognosy will enjoy using this software.
