WORKBOOK Version 1.0 BILL BUCKELS REGISTRATION $10.00
GARP SEP90 WORKBOOK BUCKELS EDUCATIONAL CHILDRENS
FILES: wrkbk100.sdn
New to SDN
Music and Graphics with a new twist. The Child is presented
with words and sentences to a background of an OUT OF FOCUS
PCX IMAGE and must correctly OVERTYPE the WORDS within a TIME
LIMIT. If the SCHEDULE IS MET, THE PICTURE is PRESENTED
again, this time IN FOCUS, and a MUSICAL REWARD is PLAYED for
the Timely Scholar. If THE DEADLINE is NOT Met, a rude noise
is made and the next OUT OF FOCUS and WORDS COMBO is
presented for another TIMED ROUND OF PLAY.
TIME LIMITS suddenly become imminent when our children start
school, and deadlines can be as important to learn as the
other more cerebral academic pursuits. Often a well
completed assignment is not so well received when received
late.
We gathered together 29 Tunes and 29 pictures in ZSOFT PCX
format to get an introductory library of MUSIC and ART
together, but the intent of this program is that the word and
sentence selection is revised to match a lesson plan on an
ongoing basis, even though the SAMPLE that we have put
together need not be changed if you are not adventurous.The
index WORKBOOK.DAT can be revised in an ascii editor to
present selected PCX BACKGROUNDS, MUSIC, and the Vocabulary
in any customized order and level, and even the time limit
for each sentence or word can be varied by making the
appropriate adjustments to WORKBOOK.DAT
The .SND Music Files are the SAME Binary Format as Those
Distributed on our BINGO and METOO distribution packages and
those may be used to augment WORKBOOK to suit your scholar's
musical preference. (If you used all of the .SND files from
our various disks you would have about 100 songs.) The 4-
color picture files are in the SAME FORMAT as those produced
by our STIX Children's Sticker Art System and Cursor Key
Drawing Program ( ZSOFT .PCX format per the VERSION 2.8
STANDARD without Color Map) and can be imported or converted
from a variety of sources.
The LARGE LETTERS expand to fill all available space over
the lower portion of the IMAGE and CHANGE COLOR as they are
overtyped, with a bell sound to make additional noise when
things are going well, and as we said earlier, rude sounds
when things are not going so well.
We should have called this one "HURRY UP!"
