- ALPHABET RECOGNITION (c)1997
- ----------------------------------
-
- This game runs on 68000 AMIGA's like the 500,500+,
- and 600, and 68020+ AMIGA's like the 1200..It
- should run on any AMIGA with 1mb of ram or more.
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- I wanted a simple program to teach Alphabet
- Recognition to my daughter, so that's why I wrote
- this one.
- ALPHABET RECOGNITION helps the kids to recognize
- the letters of the alphabet while having fun at
- the same time.
- The program has 3 skill levels, easy, medium and
- hard.
- The program picks a letter at random, for example
- if it picks the letter 'A', Tracy, my wife
- announces- 'Can you find the letter_', then the
- computer says the letter 'A', etc.
- A turtle [Tudor], slowly starts swimming up the
- stream, and a log starts floating towards the
- turtle.
- The harder the skill level, the faster the log goes
- towards the turtle. Before the log collides with the
- turtle, the player must find and click on the
- correct letter with the mouse. The turtle can
- withstand 4 collisions with the log, before the game
- ends and the player must start over.
- If the player selects the correct letter in time, the
- log sinks (vanishes), and the program rewards the
- player by displaying a picture which represents the
- letter, for example 'A' = Apple, etc.
- If the turtle [Tudor] makes it to the finish line,
- he will be able to go to the sea...
-
