The Normandy Beaches tells the story of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe in June 1944.

"Decision in Normandy" is an interactive educational and entertainment application involving the events surrounding the invasion of France by the Allies in 1944. The idea for this thesis project originated from an interest in the growing field of multimedia in the educational and entertainment areas and a life-long interest in military history. The term now in use for such an application is "edutainment". The project combines the concepts of software engineering with knowledge of a particularly important military event to create a software package that gives the user the opportunity to learn while having fun. The decision was made to use the invasion of Normandy (D-Day) because of all the publicity surrounding its fiftieth anniversary. Because such a package is very complex and still quite new to the software engineering community, this project was very challenging. More packages of this type are planned so the concept of reusability was important from the beginning.
