7.2 Rhoi Cymru yn ei Lle
Rhoi Cymru yn ei Lle was designed as a game that would educate people as to
the geographical location of Welsh place-names. Players must attempt to drag a
place-name to its correct position on a map, with themed clues relevant to each
place providing some assistance. There are various themes, including sport, religion,
culture, and history, so that the player learns a little about different aspects of their
country as they play, and gain satisfaction from being able to locate an unfamiliar
place on a map.
When creating the content, Cronfa Archif Melville Richards and Enwau Cymru
(developed by Canolfan Bedwyr) were invaluable in aiding in the identification and
placement of place-names and their associated clues. Cronfa Archif Melvllle Richards
is a fully searchable online database of historic Welsh place-name forms that contains
location information and grid references, whilst Enwau Cymru is an online database of
modern Welsh place-names dealing in particular with bilingual place-names and again
giving location information. As with Pos Croeseiriau, due to its complexity, the game
content is coded into the game itself.
