Palindrome Tester

What is a palindrome? A palindrome is a word or phrase which reads the same forward or backward. Here are some examples: "radar", "Abba", "Madam, I'm Adam"

This little Director movie let's you type in a phrase and then analyzes it to see if it is a palindrome. Spaces and some punctuation marks are ignored, as are differences in case. Therefore, "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" is a valid palindrome.

To use the movie, just type a phrase in the 'Input' area, then click on the 'Test for Palindrome' button. The verdict will be displayed in the middle of the movie's display area.

Requires Shockwave for Director 8 Plugin (or later).

• "Pa made Ed a map"
• "kayak", "Ada", "Glenelg" (a suburb in Adelaide)
• the trivial cases of a blank, a single character, or a string of identical characters
