Educational games don't need to teach for their players to learn. Often, edutainment finds success by introducing ideas and concepts in less direct ways, like engrossing you in a historical setting or raising situations related to the topic. Even by those open expectations, The Geometric Golfer seems tangential to an educational mission. The game uses the format of golf to familiarize players with geometrical transformations, though it approaches those concepts with a looseness that perhaps applies better to discovering facts than math problem-solving. Still, geometry is fun to play around with like this, and the freedom to experiment with shapes and motions brings some degree of comfort to a potentially intimidating subject.

I'm sorry to report that SheepShaver crashes during Mac OS's boot. My system is a MacBook Pro Early 2008 with Leopard. The previous build (SheepShaverUB20091025) still works fine. Here are the messages in the console: 26/11/10 16:10:14 0x0-0x1f81f8.SheepShaver6728 SheepShaver V2.3 by Christian Bauer and Mar'c' Hellwig. The custom build of SheepShaver used in this application uses this key-combination instead of the standard SheepShaver toggle key (Ctrl-Enter). To use full-screen mode by default, hold down the Option key when launching Mac OS 9, and set the screen size option to full-screen.
Shooting under par calls for advanced strategies, like reflecting the ball at an angle
In each leg of The Geometric Golfer‘s courses, players must hit their ball – a polygonal shape of some sort – into a matching hole. On some stages you can just move the ball in (translating it, to use the geometric term), but you usually need to transform the ball by rotating, resizing, or reflecting it. As the courses grow more challenging, these moves also help you navigate trees and water obstacles in your path. The ball might need to shrink to go through a small passage, for instance, then dilate to fit into the hole.
You can usually just eyeball the transformations, which separates The Geometric Golfer from the actual math. The game offers coordinates for every point on-screen, ostensibly for calculations, but you never need that information and sometimes have barriers to using it. If the ball ends up slightly askew from the hole, you could theoretically grab some paper, plot out the shapes, and determine the best rotational point. That would be a tremendous waste of effort that the game discourages since instead, you can draw out an arc that looks close enough and hope for the best. No tool embodies this geometry-through-spitballing better than reflection guide, which indicates where the ball will travel with the same mathematical precision as measuring with your fingers.
At a point, the game drifts away from its learning goals for the sake of interesting challenges. The ten included courses steadily build difficulty as they go on, but the last handful feature especially tough holes that demand deeper knowledge of the game – though not usually deeper knowledge of geometry. The middle courses include some unusual shapes that require a keen awareness of transformations, but eventually, the focus shifts towards complex course layouts and your skill with the quirks of the game's toolset.
Some holes teach geometry more overtly. Careful, the ball's not symmetrical!
As instruction for geometry, The Geometric Golfer doesn't achieve much. Its geometry-adjacent obstacles would probably not help players complete their homework. It does, however, create a comfortable, friendly space for experimenting with general geometric concepts. You may not know the significance of different types of angles after a few rounds, but you'll understand how to visualize a shape turning or how to use a grid. It works more effectively as a primer or supplemental aid for dealing with geometry, not as the primary way to learn math. (And for younger folks learning tangibly with geoboards or other manipulatives, this might be enough.)
It also makes for a pretty fun golf game. Luckily for those who don't just want to recap their middle school education, The Geometric Golfer‘s gradual difficulty provides a good excuse to play through the whole thing (assuming you can wrap your head around the tools). The game-ier aspects may sometimes distract from the educational side, but the consistently clever courses expand on the variety found in other simplified golf games.
By the end, you will probably have learned less about geometry than about how to play The Geometric Golfer. That's fine if you have no investment in taking away math skills. Its secret educational potential comes from how tossing around polygons for half an hour can instill confidence and comfort with the idea of transformations. Though maybe you'd still need a teacher remind you what a 90-degree angle is.
Trivia!
The Geometric Golfer includes a course creator for those who want to make something even more dastardly or geometrically stimulating than the default package. (Knowing the sorts of shenanigans kids can get into when given any level of creative freedom, the game also lets you disable that feature.)

SheepShaver Setup Manual for Mac OS X (Tiger or Leopard)
To keep it simple, I will describe a setup with all files together in a folder 'SheepShaver'. That folder can be anywhere you like, for instance in your Home folder. If the needed files are in the same folder with SheepShaver, no full paths are required for configuration, just file names will work. (Files and folders can be renamed and/or moved to different locations afterwards, provided you make sure the new names and/or full paths to the files are entered in SheepShaver preferences.)
Note: Changed settings in preferences are saved when the preferences window is closed, but the changes will not take effect until the SheepShaver application is quit and launched again.
Note: With most compatible ROM files SheepShaver for Mac OS X can only run Mac OS 8.5, 8.6, 9.0 or 9.0.4. and only generic install CDs for those Mac OS versions can be used. A system install CD provided with a new Mac will usually only install on that specific model. SheepShaver cannot run 9.1 or later.
The files you need in your SheepShaver folder
1. The SheepShaver application
Recent builds of SheepShaver for Mac OS X have the preferences editor built-in, so no separate SheepShaverGUI or SheepShaverPrefs application is needed anymore. With current builds you will find two versions of the SheepShaver application, one (H) using the hardware cursor and one (S) using the software cursor.
Whether you prefer the hardware cursor version or the software cursor version is mainly a matter of taste on fast host machines. It will depend on the applications you use in SheepShaver. The hardware cursor version uses one cursor inside and outside the SheepShaver window, but does not correctly display custom cursors of some applications inside SheepShaver. The software cursor version displays all cursor images correctly, but cursors are switched between the Mac OS and the Mac OS X cursor when moving in and out of the SheepShaver window. On slow host machines the software cursor may move jerkily in SheepShaver, even to the extend of being unusable.
2. A compatible ROM file
It may be difficult to get hold of a compatible ROM file as distributing bare ROM files violates Apple license agreements.
ROM files collected from some PowerMacs may work. The 'Mac OS ROM' file from a Mac OS 8.6 CD or from the Mac OS 8.6 Update may work. The ROM file from the 'Mac OS ROM Update 1.0' will certainly work, but for extracting the ROM file from the Mac OS ROM Update or from the Mac OS 8.6 update you will need 'TomeViewer' running in Mac OS or in Classic under Mac OS X.

TomeViewer: http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/15295
Although distributing ROM files is considered illegal, when you search the web or file exchange communities, you will find downloadable ROM files ready for use.
Note: When you have acquired a compatible ROM file, rename it 'Mac OS ROM' (without the quotation marks) if that is not yet its name. (SheepShaver will recognise a ROM file with that name if it is in the same folder when no prefs file is yet configured.)
3. A folder inside the SheepShaver folder named 'shared'
4. A keycodes file
The keycodes file is not needed (but does no harm either) when only a US American QWERTY keyboard layout will be used. If you did not get a keycodes file with your SheepShaver application, you can download one from my site: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ronaldpr/sheepshaverforum/keycodes.zip
5. A CD disk image file made from a Mac OS install CD (only needed when you will not install from a actual install CD)
Note: The CD disk image file (for instance a .iso file) should be locked to make sure the system will be satisfied that it is running from a CD. You can lock the file in Finder Info (command-I on the selected file and check the 'locked' checkbox).

Configuring SheepShaver
1. Start SheepShaver
If you have installed a compatible ROM file, SheepShaver will launch and show in its window a grey floppy icon with blinking '?', indicating that the emulated Mac has not found a startup volume.
Note: On PPC Macs SheepShaver will quasi crash on each launch. Simply dismiss the message about SheepShaver having quit unexpectedly (which it has not) by clicking the Close button in the dialog.
2. Open Preferences from SheepShaver application menu
The settings will be saved in a invisible file .sheepshaver_prefs in your Home folder. The following description assumes that SheepShaver is set up for the first time and there is no pre-existing ~/.sheepshaver_prefs file.
Setup tab
The first thing to do, is to add the ROM file using the 'Browse..' button to find and 'Open' the ROM file. SheepShaver already recognized the 'Mac OS ROM' file, but will not find it again on next launch if the Preferences window was closed without the ROM file name entered here.
If you accidently closed the preferences window and quit SheepShaver without correctly entering the name (or path) of a compatible ROM file, you can proceed with the stand-alone preferences editor that can be downloaded from this forum topic: http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3738
You can now proceed with creating the disk image file that will be the virtual hard disk on the emulated Mac. Click the 'Create..' button.
Choose an appropriate name for the image file, for instance MacOS9. (An extension .dsk will be suggested, but no extension is needed.) Choose a size for the volume (for instance 500MB or 1000MB) and save the file in the SheepShaver folder. (Creating a large disk image may take a while after the 'Save' button is clicked, wait till the created volume appears in the Volumes list.)
(Only if a CD disk image file is used instead of a real install CD: Use the 'Add..' button to find and 'Open' the CD disk image file in the SheepShaver folder. The file will appear in the Volumes list below the created volume.)
In the box 'Unix Root' enter 'shared' (without the quotation marks), the name of the shared folder inside the SheepShaver folder. Do not keep the default value '/' !
Enter a value for the amount of RAM in MB that the virtual Mac will have. For instance 128 or 256 or 512. The maximum value is 512, SheepShaver will not run if a higher value is entered.
Leave 'Boot From' set to 'Any' (The setting 'CD-ROM' is for force-booting from a CD-ROM while there is a bootable volume in the Volumes list.)
Leave 'Disable CD-ROM Driver' unchecked.
Audio / Video tab
Video Type: Window
(With the Fullscreen setting the screen stays black and SheepShaver will need to be force-quit.)
Refresh Rate: Dynamic
(Lower settings may improve overall performance on slow host machines, but will have a negative effect on cursor movements in the software cursor version of SheepShaver.)
Set Width and Height for the window to lower values than the width and height of your screen. If you have a large screen, you can enter higher values than those in the menu, for instance 1280 x 800.
Check QuickDraw Acceleration.
Ignore Audio Settings.
Miscellaneous tab
Mediamonkey for mac 2020. CPU Options: Check only 'Allow Emulated CPU to Idle' and 'Enable JIT Compiler'.
'Use Raw Keycodes' is only needed for non-US keyboard layouts. Check the box and enter the name of the keycodes file.
Mouse Wheel Function and Lines to Scroll is a matter of taste. The image shows my preference.
Ignore Modem Device and Printer Port Device.
For Ethernet Interface enter 'slirp' (without the quotation marks).
Saving the settings and quitting SheepShaver
Close the Preferences window to save the settings.
The emulated machine cannot be shutdown normally while waiting for a boot disk and SheepShaver cannot be quit with the emulated machine still running. So at this point we use Control-Escape to quit SheepShaver, which is equivalent to a hard shut down of the emulated machine.
Booting SheepShaver and installing the system
If you use a real install CD, first insert the CD and have it mount in Mac OS X. (Also later, when you want to use a CD-ROM in SheepShaver, you need to mount the CD in Mac OS X before you launch SheepShaver. SheepShaver only recognizes CD-ROMs, no audio CDs, no DVDs.)
Launch SheepShaver. The emulated machine will startup from the install CD (or from the CD disk image).
During startup, the system will encounter the newly created volume and will offer to initialize it. Give the volume an appropriate name (for instance MacOS9HD) and choose Mac OS Extended for the format. Click to proceed with initializing the volume.
Finally, you will see the desktop with icons for the startup volume (the CD or the CD disk image), the icon for the new volume that you will install the system onto, and the icon for a 'Unix' volume that gives access to the shared folder in the SheepShaver folder on the Mac OS X side.

If you used a real install CD, you can now remove it in Mac OS X.
Running the newly installed system in SheepShaver
E Maculation Sheepshaver Ub Build For Mac Download
When you launch SheepShaver, the emulated machine will boot from the installed system. The Configuration Assistant will guide you through the configuration of the new system. However, in SheepShaver the Configuration Assistant will usually lock-up while configuring network settings. It is better to quit the Assistant when it starts with the network settings and do the remaining configuration manually in the various control panels.
To enable sound in SheepShaver, 'built-in' must be selected for the output device in 'Sound' control panel. In Mac OS 9 the Sound control panel is installed with the other control panels and can be accessed in the Apple menu. In Mac OS 8.5/8.6 the Sound control panel is installed in the 'Apple Extras' folder. You can use it there to select the built-in output device.
The Startup Disk control panel is non-functional in SheepShaver, trying to use it may cause SheepShaver to crash. SheepShaver will startup from the first bootable volume in the Volumes list, or from a bootable CD if no bootable volume is in the list, or always from a bootable CD when 'Boot From' is set to CD-ROM in Preferences. Note that changed settings in preferences will take effect after SheepShaver is quit and launched again. With only a restart in the emulated machine new settings will not be used.
3. A folder inside the SheepShaver folder named 'shared'

SheepShaver will startup from the first bootable volume in the Volumes list, or from a bootable CD if no bootable volume is in the list, or always from a bootable CD when 'Boot From' is set to CD-ROM in Preferences. Note that changed settings in preferences will take effect after SheepShaver is quit and launched again. With only a restart in the emulated machine new settings will not be used.
For network access, set the TCP/IP control panel to Ethernet and DHCP. As soon as you start using IP network access, for instance with a web-browser, the IP adresses will become visible in the control panel.
Exchanging files via the shared folder used to be crippled by many bugs, but it does work fine with current builds. Still, however, trashing files from that folder can best be done from the Mac OS X side. On the Mac OS side the trash can often not be emptied when it contains files from the shared folder (the 'Unix' volume).
