- New to SDN

- C language source code included (MIX Power C Med Model).
-
- This is a clean and simple on-screen old-fashioned clock with
- hands and a face and intended to be used as a teaching aid
- for children learning to tell time. This is NOT a
- competitive game and is NOT designed as a challenge. The
- child must be reading at about a Grade 2 (Age 7-8) level to
- use this program.
-
- Rather than confusing the issue ( which is to introduce the
- BASICS of telling time) by cramming A.M. and P.M. and the
- 24 hour clock into one grandly BULBOUS DOORKNOB OF A
- TIME-BOMB and "confusing the view" with cute cartoons like
- most of the clock programs that we have known, we chose
- instead to provide the kid with lots of BASIC INFO. (That
- other good stuff just gets in the way and can come later.)
- Our clock ("Little Ben") is quite active and still fun
- in-spite of his simplicity. An explanation of the parts of
- the clock including "the little hand" and "the big hand" must
- be done in advance of using "Little Ben".
-
- The Time that is displayed on the clock is given in English
- at the bottom of the screen (i.e. "Twenty-nine Minutes after
- Three", etc.) and in a the now-familiar digital format (i.e
- "3:29") at the top of the screen. The clock is controlled by
- the user. As the time is advanced or retreated the hands of
- the clock move. The positions for the minutes are marked and
- the hours are each properly identified.
