- Starting Kid-Shell
- ------------------
- Type GO to start Kid-Shell.
- Kid-Shell is a shell program used to run all of Progressive
- Products kid programs. This allows your child to enter and
- exit from Krazy-Face, Krazy-Creatures, Krazy-Kritters,
- Picture-Surprise and Scrambled-Kids all by themselves.
- (Note: Krazy-Face is distributed through shareware and comes
- by itself. To receive any other Progressive Products
- programs mentioned above, see the ordering information when
- exiting Krazy-Face or call Progressive Products for the
- latest selection of the finest children's software).
-
- If for some reason Kid-Shell does not run, try running
- Krazy-Face directly from DOS. To do this, type kface.
-
- General Commands
- ----------------
- Controls:
- The left mouse button is used to select items, the right
- mouse button is used to open or close the over head menu
- screens. When horizontal menu screens have more on them
- than what will fit on the screen, a large arrow will appear
- in a green box on the side of the menu which contains more
- selections. By placing your mouse cursor over the green
- arrow box, you can advance the menu in that direction.
- Also, by holding down the left mouse button when the cursor
- is over the green arrow box, you can speed up the scrolling
- of the menu.
-
- Music:
- If you have a sound card and want to turn the music off,
- simply click on the musical note icon located in the main
- menu.
-
- Starting Krazy-Face from Kid-Shell:
- Once in Kid-Shell, click on the top icon with the picture of
- the face on it. This will bring you to the main screen of
- Krazy-Face which contains the blank face selections. From
- here, you may do one of two things: select a blank face by
- clinking the left mouse button on it, or click on the GO
- icon at the top of the screen without selecting a face. If
- you choose a blank face, a red blinking box will indicate
- which selection you have made. Once a face has been chosen,
- click on the GO icon to enter the paint portion of the
- program. The blank face will be loaded and ready for
- drawing on. If you did not choose a face then the paint
- area will be white, ready to be used as a children's paint
- program.
-
- Creating Faces, Paintings and Drawings:
- The paint menu contains seven icons: EXIT, FACE, STAMP PAD,
- SHAPES, COLOR PALETTE, DRAWING PEN, ERASER. The function of
- each icon is as follows:
-
- EXIT: Exits you back to the main menu.
-
- FACE: Brings up the facial features menu which contains:
- eyes, noses, mouths, and eyebrows. Left click the
- mouse button over a feature to select it. Once
- selected the feature will track with your mouse.
- Click the left mouse button in order to place the
- feature onto the screen. If you want to erase a
- feature you have placed on the picture, you can do
- this in one of two ways. The first way is to use a
- different feature than was used the first time, but it
- must be in the same family of features. For example:
- if you place an eye on the face and want a different
- eye instead, simply grab a different eye and wave it
- over the old one to make the old one vanish. You
- cannot use a nose or anything else to erase an eye.
- Using different features to erase old ones works as
- long as you do not exit the facail features menu. If
- you leave the facail features menu and re-enter it
- with the same face, the features you have chosen will
- not be able to be erased using the above method. You
- will have to use the erase menu which is located at
- the very right in the paint menu. The erase menu will
- erase anything except the blank face you originally
- started with.
-
- STAMP PAD: Accesses colorful pre-made pictures to add to the
- face or drawing.
-
- SHAPES: This contains various shapes to use in the pictures.
-
- COLOR PALETTE: This contains a large selection of colors
- that can be used to fill in different areas
- of the picture.
-
- DRAWING PEN: This menu gives the artist a large selection of
- colored pencils to use on his or hers picture.
-
- ERASE: Located in the erase menu are various shaped erasers
- to use on the pictures.
-
- Exiting
- -------
- To leave Krazy-Face and return to the blank face menu,
- simply click on stop and exit until you get to the save or
- no save menu. Here, you will be asked to select the Gallery
- (save for future display or changes) or the Garbage (not
- saved). Once you have returned to the blank face menu, you
- can either select another blank face or blank screen or exit
- to the Kid-Shell. Upon exiting Krazy-Face, you will go
- into an order screen which gives you all the information you
- need to register Krazy-Face.
