NUMBER .EXE
Version 2.10
N U M B E R M A G I C
-------------------------
Copyright (c), 1987
These games were designed for pre-school children, at
several levels of development and skill. Number
recognition is stressed, with some emphasis on counting
skills. Familiar children's songs are used throughout the
program to reward success. Numeric scores are also given.
We have found these useful for encouraging older siblings
to share in the learning experience with the pre-school
child. These games are not solitaire games. A reading
adult is needed to get things started, and to make the
experience a more rewarding one.
----------------------------------------------------------
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
The opening screen gives you an option of turning the
songs and other aural signals off. If you decide to leave
the sound on, an opening song will begin to play. In
either event, press enter to begin.
A smiling face appears and asks for the childs' name.
The first letter in the name will be capitalized
automatically. If there is more than one word in the name
entered, only the first name entered will be used. A
greeting is given, and the menu of games are presented.
Four options are on the menu;
1). Number Matching.
2). A Maze Adventure.
3). The Counting Game.
4). I am dome playing.
Other than at this menu, entering the letter "Q" at any
prompt will end play.
----------------------------------------------------------
THE GAMES:
Number Matching :
Three colored blocks are presented,
each with a number inside them. Underneath these blocks
is a matching blank block. The smiling face will appear
under the numbered block. The objective is to type in the
same number. A score is given by adding together the
correct answers for each of the three blocks. A correct

answer is accompanied by a rising tone, an incorrect
answer by a falling tone. After playing five games of
three blocks each, a good score is rewarded with a song.
There is also a complementary statement made. The
opportunity to play again is presented. Enter "Y" to
restart the game, or "N" to return to the opening menu.
A Maze adventure :
A maze is drawn onto the screen.
Inside the maze are 6 red "MUSIC BOXES" and 2 brown
"EXITS". To move around inside the maze, enter the number
of the location where you wish to move the smiling face
to. Moving to a number changes the number of the location
where you were. Where there is the same number in two
adjoining locations, the smiling face will move to the
number most clockwise. Landing on the red "MUSIC BOX"
will play a song. Going to a brown "EXIT" will end the
game and also play a song. Scoring is done by adding the
number you move to the total so far, as long as it is NOT
a location visited before. The final score is presented,
with a statement of congratulation. Again, an option to
play again is presented. Choosing "N" will return you to
the menu.
The Counting Game :
Up to ten colorful boxes are placed on
the screen at random locations. Enter the number of boxes
on the screen. If the answer is correct, the next group
of boxes is presented for counting. The number of boxes
is added to the total score. If the answer is incorrect,
the computer will beep, and another opportunity to enter
the number is given. Should the answer still be
incorrect, the computer will count off the number of
correct boxes at the bottom of the screen. The cycle will
continue until the correct number is entered. When 10
correct answers are given, a song is played. Scoring
continues to accumulate until the player ends the game
with a "Q".
I am done playing :
When you are done playing, a final
song is played. The smiling face thanks you for playing.
