- KIDPOTATO by D.A. Brumleve
-
- KIDPOTATO is yet another in the
- series of public domain KIDPRGs
- written in GFA Basic. The program
- requires the following files:
-
- POTATO.PRG
- POTATOES.DAT
- POTATOST.DAT
-
- This silly little program was
- written at the request of two of my
- sons, who are especially fond of Mr.
- Potato Head and his friends. The
- program is designed to entertain
- children ages 2-5. Older children
- who enjoy Mr. Potato Head may also
- enjoy the program. Options include:
- (1) a matching game in which the
- user makes a potato that matches one
- chosen at random by the computer and
- (2) designing one's own potato. It
- is possible to EXIT during either of
- these activities, but each activity
- must be completed before switching
- to another.
-
- The search string "KIDPRGS" will
- call up most of the programs in the
- series on the MichTron and ST
- Roundtables on GEnie. Most KIDPRGS
- have more educational value than
- this one...For this age group, I'd
- especially recommend:
-
- KIDMIXUP--put pictures in order
-
- KIDSONG1 ("Makin' Aiken")--an
- interactive illustrated song
-
- KIDGRID--graphics design
-
- My address on GEnie is D.A.BRUMLEVE.
-
- I hope your children enjoy this one
- as much as the two who suggested it.
