Learnin' Letters

Mikey and I came up with the wonderful idea of making a computer game for our nephew. It is designed to teach a child what the main keys on the computer do. It also teaches the letter shape, name and gives a picture of something that starts with that letter.

press "a"
see - "Aa" and a big red apple
hear - "A is for apple. (crunching sound)"

Mikey made all the artwork and we made the sounds together. Today we added numbers and shapes.

press "1"
see - "1 Square" and a big red square
hear - "1 Square"

It is now just about ready to go. Only about a year later than planned. The nephew already knows his colors, some shapes and most letters. At least the nephew has a new little sister who can also use it!
