NEWCLOCK v1.0 by BILL BUCKELS Registration $ 5.00
MISC MAR91 NEWCLOCK BUCKELS CLOCK TIME EDUCATIONAL CHILDRENS
FILES: newclk10.sdn
New to SDN
C language source code included (MIX Power C Med Model).
This is a clean and simple on-screen old-fashioned clock with
hands and a face and intended to be used as a teaching aid
for children learning to tell time. This is NOT a
competitive game and is NOT designed as a challenge. The
child must be reading at about a Grade 2 (Age 7-8) level to
use this program.
Rather than confusing the issue ( which is to introduce the
BASICS of telling time) by cramming A.M. and P.M. and the
24 hour clock into one grandly BULBOUS DOORKNOB OF A
TIME-BOMB and "confusing the view" with cute cartoons like
most of the clock programs that we have known, we chose
instead to provide the kid with lots of BASIC INFO. (That
other good stuff just gets in the way and can come later.)
Our clock ("Little Ben") is quite active and still fun
in-spite of his simplicity. An explanation of the parts of
the clock including "the little hand" and "the big hand" must
be done in advance of using "Little Ben".
The Time that is displayed on the clock is given in English
at the bottom of the screen (i.e. "Twenty-nine Minutes after
Three", etc.) and in a the now-familiar digital format (i.e
"3:29") at the top of the screen. The clock is controlled by
the user. As the time is advanced or retreated the hands of
the clock move. The positions for the minutes are marked and
the hours are each properly identified.
