============================================================================
Explore with Flossy the Frog is an exciting, imaginative and innovative
example of interactive fiction. Although this simple-to-use program is
intended for children up to the age of 8, its superb animations and
surprises will delight users of any age. The aim of the program is to
provide reading opportunities, simple problem solving tasks, and a stimulus
for creative activities away from the computer. (The ability to read the
text is not essential.)
Flossy provides a safe and stimulating environment which children can
explore at their leisure. It is safe in that there are no hazards and no
mistakes can be made. In each of the nine main scenes there are objects and
characters which will perform when clicked upon. Clicking on something with
the left mouse button causes an action while clicking with the right button
displays some text. The animations are multi-tasking: several can take place
at the same time.
The route from one scene to another is not always obvious. To leave the
bedroom, for example, you have to close the curtains, open the curtains, and
then click on Flossy.
