Koji The Frog is an arcade game in which you, as Koji, have to shoot your tongue and jump to catch insects (flies, bees, and ladybugs). This task would be simple if it wasn't for a snake, lightning, mad bees, a car and a grumpy gopher (with dinamite). Help comes from a magic butterfly that appears every 20,000 points. If you eat it, the tongue gets longer and your jumps higher.
It features fast color graphics and multichannel sound.
1.0.2
Sound volume can be set from the Keypad number keys.
When entering a new high score, the name will default to that of the last player who entered a high score.
Fixes a bug that prevented Koji The Frog from working on Macintosh Performa 4xx series and LCs.
Requirements
Software: System 6.0.7 or higher - Will work on System 7.5
Hardware: Color capable Macintosh 8bit (256 colors) and a 13" (640x480) monitor or larger.
General Info
Pressing the space bar while the opening screen is visible will hide/show the menu bar. You can then switch applications. The menu bar also automatically appears when the game is paused. This allows you to hide Koji The Frog by switching another application in front and to set the sound volume from the menu bar.
Since Koji The Frog requires 8bit color, it will prevent you from changing the monitor's depth while it is the foreground application. However, the depth you tried to switch to will be "remembered" and set when you quit Koji or whenever you send it to the background.
Tech Info
Since so many of you asked...
Koji was mainly written in C and assembly. Custom graphic routines for drawing, erasing and blitting the game sprites are fully written in assembly.
Creating New Sound or Sprite files
If you wish to create new sound or sprite files, please make sure you do not change the IDs of the resources you edit. If you change the sounds, please remember to allocate more memory to Koji in the Finder. The expected sound resource format is:
Format 1, 22Khz, uncompressed, sampled sound resources. Koji will otherwise not work.

WorkLog - ShareWare ($20)
WorkLog is a Control Panel that automatically logs how long you use certain documents. All you have to do is select the files you would like to keep track of and WorkLog will do the rest.
To provide a system of organization, the files can be collected into separate groups.
WorkLog will create a log file for every different group that you have defined. For example, if you are interested in logging file use for billing information, groups let you create a separate file for every client.
When you use one of the files you have selected, WorkLog writes into the corresponding log file the time the document was opened, the name of the document, the application it was opened in and for how long the document was open.
When you shutdown or restart your computer, WorkLog calculates the total usage time for each document.
WorkLog automatically creates a folder called "WorkLog Files" on your startup disk and saves inside this folder a log file for every group that has been used. WorkLog currently supports up to 30 groups, and 250 files.
Files are standard TEXT files and can be opened using WorkLog or any Word Processor.
Requirements
WorkLog will run on any Macintosh® computer, but it requires System 7 or higher.
Harmonics - ShareWare ($10)
Harmonics is an application originally developed as a teaching tool that aims at illustrating the basic principles of additive synthesis. Harmonics allows you to create different waveforms by summing the amplitudes of a fundamental frequency and of its first 13 harmonics. The resulting wave can be played back through the speaker of your Macintosh® computer.
It contains three preset waveshapes (sine, square and sawtooth) and three different views (Harmonics only, Sum only and Both).
Philip Dyes of ZiffNet Mac says "Though Harmonics is highly technical in nature and intent, it is surprisingly small and easy to use... Not only is Harmonics an excellent high-end learning tool, but it's also a fun sound manipulation program that is accessible to anyone."
Includes Online Help.
Requirements
Harmonics requires a 13" (640x480) screen or larger.
SoundScape - ShareWare ($10)
SoundScape is a Control Panel that plays bird calls at random intervals. This version includes 11 different sounds. With a key combination, SoundScape can be turned on or off from the keyboard at any moment.
