From: sunmoon@voicenet.com (Ming H. Kao)
Subject: Al_Bunny_Typing_Class 140c
In the previous uploaded version(1.40b), there is a serious bug which
blocks an important feature of this program. This version(1.40c) fixs
that.
Some major changes and bug fixs since version 1.40 are
1. Fix a bug which causes Al Bunny fails to open if the user close
Al Bunny last time with speed mode set to "user-defined"
2. Fix a bug in the pre-defined keysets. Now the non-US keyboard
user will feel that these keysets make more senses. For example,
in level 2 in German keyboard, the user practice 'z' instead of 'y'.
3. Fix a mistake in US-Dvorak keyboard layout file.
4. A change in Racing-Game. Now the obstacle will be moved up after
the user enters the string correctly.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,

This stack is one of a series designed to entertain a young child
and help develop mouse skills. My inspiration was Diane Bundy¹s My
Little Kitchen stack. I thought her idea was great, but my younger
daughter needed something even simpler, with no reading involved. So,
I designed some stacks that consist of only two cards. They are easy
to use, colorful, and fun.
These stacks were created in Hypercard 2.2. They are set up as
stand alone applications. The applications are rather large due to
color and sounds, but I think the colors and sounds keep young
children interested longer than plain old black and white.
If you and yours enjoy this program, keep your eyes open for
others in the series.

Creepin' Critter(TM) Clocks 1.1.1
Requires HyperCard Player 2.2 or later (probably already on your Mac
whether you know it or not), or any version of Hyper-Stack Player.
Changes in this version: For Mac OS 9 users running CCC in the black &
white "evaluation mode", a button will appear on the title screen which
allows them to turn off the transition effects that CCC displays as the
user navigates from screen-to-screen. In some models of Mac running OS 9,
these transition effects occur EXTREMELY slowly. The button, which toggles
between "Turn Transitions On" and "Turn Transitions Off", allows those OS 9
users who experience the problem to use CCC without having to deal with
ultra-slow navigation. OS 9 does not cause any problems in CCC's full color
"licensed mode."
Welcome to Creepin' Critter Clocks, the fun way for kids to practice their
time-telling skills! Creepin' Critter Clocks is an arcade-style learning
game that is both challenging and fun. Kids swat bugs (the "Creepin'
Critters") or pop bubbles that correspond to the correct answer to a
time-telling problem.
Points are earned, in true arcade game fashion, for correct answers. The
amount of time available to answer a problem can be adjusted to suit the
skill level of the child. The arcade-style scoring provides an incentive
for decreasing the amount of time, since lower time settings increase the
possible scores.
There are four types of time-telling practice in Creepin' Critter Clocks:
1) Analog-to-Digital, 2) Digital-to-Analog, 3) Words-to-Analog, and 4)
Words-to-Digital.
Each type of time-telling practice can be performed by swatting bugs or by
popping bubbles. The Analog-to-Digital and Words-to-Digital games are only
available to registered users.
Upon registering, you will receive a password which will unlock the
following additional features: 1) built-in color; 2) the ability to repeat
just the incorrectly answered problems; 3) arcade-style "Top Ten" lists for
each type of time-telling game; 4) Teaching Mode where the hour can be held
constant while the minutes are varied (or vice versa); and 5) the Report
feature which records the results of each problem the student attempts in a
text file for later review by their parent or teacher.

Creepin' Critter(TM) Math Lite 1.0
Copr. 1993-96, 1999 Bruce A. Pokras - All rights reserved worldwide
Requires HyperCard Player 2.2 or later (probably already on your Mac
whether you know it or not), or any version of Hyper-Stack Player.
CCM Lite is a "light" version of the regular, shareware Creepin'
Critter(TM) Math educational game. Creepin' Critter Math Lite has enabled
all the bonus features of the licensed regular version of CCM, but contains
just the "Beginner" math module (in both the Creepin' Critter and Bubble
Poppin' formats) instead of the four modules of the regular version. The
bonus features include, among other things, a full color interface, Top Ten
lists, and the ability to repeat those problems that were answered
incorrectly.
The Creepin' Critter format is a multiple-choice challenge in which
children choose the answer to a question by swatting one of four bugs which
are creeping up a wall towards "picture frames" which contain four possible
answers. If the incorrect bug is swatted, the other three continue creeping
up the wall giving the child further chances to swat the correct bug. If
the correct bug is not swatted by the time one of the bugs crawls
underneath one of the picture frames, then the correct answer flashes
several times and another problem is presented. After finishing a game, the
problems which were answered incorrectly or not at all may be repeated.
The distance the bugs creep before reaching the picture frames may be
decreased, giving the child less time to swat the correct bug, but
increasing the possible score. An arcade-style "Top Ten List" shows the
child's highest scores, and so gives an incentive to improve.
For children who do not like swatting bugs, an alternative Bubble Poppin'
game is included. As the name implies, this alternative requires popping
the correct bubble among four bubbles which are rising from a bubble bath
towards a steam enshrouded ceiling. Floating in the steam are four possible
answers to the problem.
The regular, shareware version of CCM is available for download in
"evaluation mode," and may be upgraded to the fully enabled version by the
entry of a password after paying the license fee.
CCM Lite is Freeware

Subject: Easy Writer 3.5
No-nonsense handwriting program gives kids what they need
Kids need to see how letters are produced. They can see the finished product all around them every day. Easy writer draws whatever letter or digit the user asks for in a realistic but completely correct way. Sound effects, an extra background, bombs and various inks give the kids just enough control to keep doing it.
Easy Writer 1.0 was simple and fun way for kids to view animations of the manuscript letters being drawn with correct stroke and rhythm, and even try to imitate them on screen.
Easy Writer 2.12 was colorized and jazzed up with sounds.
Easy Writer 3.0 was a dog so you probably never saw it.
Easy Writer 3.5 is bilingual (Spanish/English), incorporates cursive, has digits, and allows you to edit the alphabets.
Easy Writer has the following shareware pricing:
€ Single user license, $10 per CPU
€ Site License $75 (roughly equal to 8 users) and covers all locations for your organization within a 10 kilometer radius of your site.
€ You can easily register online or use your credit card to register by email!

Fluffy's Adventure is a childrens adventure game. It has color
graphics, sound effects, music, an auto-scrolling main scene, and 14
levels. Games can be saved and restored. System Requirements:
Macintosh, 16 colors, System 7.x.
Fluffy and his good friend Wubbly were taking a boat ride when
they ran into a storm. Fluffy's boat sank off of an uncharted island.
They must now find a way to get back home.
The object of Fluffy's Adventure is to help Fluffy and Wubbly return
home safely. This is accomplished by finding all of the pieces
required to assemble a new boat and using it to return home.
Wubbly will appear from time to time and ask Fluffy for help, or tell
Fluffy that a piece of the boat is near by.
Although the island is uncharted, it isn't deserted. There are stores
where Fluffy can buy food and fix-it shops where broken tools can
be repaired. Candy will regenerate Fluffy if his health reaches 0.
Candy can be found at some levels, bought at stores or will be
awarded when the score reaches 3,000 and again at 6,000.

From: Doug Eernisse <deernisse@fullerton.edu>
Subject: Geography Challenge v. 1.0 (Education - HyperCard Stack)
Geography Challenge version 1.0 is a modest HyperCard stack for Macs
that is actually two games: Country Challenge and USA Challenge. When
it was originally released (1993) and last updated (1996) it featured
only Country Challenge, a multiple choice style game that can be
played by up to four players. Country Challenge will effectively test
your knowledge of worldwide or regional capitals, and this version
has been updated to be politically current as of 2002. The other
game, USA Challenge, is new with this version, and features a
colorful map of the USA instead of choices. From experience, it is
simple enough that kids enjoy playing it. Expect them to soon master
all the U.S. states and capitals. Once the "Play" button is clicked,
the game will display the name of a state, capital, or "other city"
and the object is to click on the corresponding state as quickly as
possible. If all 50 states are clicked on fast enough, you will earn
a spot on the High Scores listing. Because Geography Challenge is a
HyperCard stack, you also need to download Apple's free HyperCard
Player application before you can use Geography Challenge, assuming
it is not already on your Macintosh. Like the original version,
Geography Challenge version 1.0 is postcardware. If you like it,
please send us a postcard. The most current version is available

From: gansler@cybercom.net
I have written a public domain program (called KidKeys) for
pre-schoolers. I have a two year old, and found that there is very
little commercial software available for children who type and click,
but can not yet track a mouse.
When a letter or number key is pressed, my program displays that letter
or number in large colorful type, and says it using my voice.
The entire program is designed very simply to make it as bug free as
possible. Those of us with children know how useless it is to say,
"Please sit patiently while I reboot with extensions turned off".
You can download this program from my web site
<http://www.gansler.com/Software.html>, where I also have the source
code posted <http://www.gansler.com/KidKeys.c.html>.
KidKeys has been tested on a PowerMac 7600, Quadra 650, and a PowerBook

This is Craig Hickman's freeware version of Kid Pix. There's a commercial

a full featured black & white paint program compatible with System 7 (at
least in 24-bit mode without using VM). It was written in Nov 1989 so I'm
surprised that 'archie' couldn't find it in any of the 685 archives it
searches. Maybe it came and went two years ago? A father recently asked
about Macware for children and this is a first rate example. Other parents
may want to download Kid Pix and some adults who don't often need a paint
program (like me, for example) may find that Kid Pix satisfies their few

LogoP(uzzle) v3.5 ©1993-1995 by Platypus Software is a cerebral challenge
where your job is to arrange nine attractive tiles so that colors and
designs of adjacent pieces match. You do it by rotating tiles and by
swapping any two tiles' positions. You can choose any of eight different
graphics for your puzzle. LogoP has been substantially overhauled since
the last release. The look has been jazzed up with AddColor, new tools
have been added, yet more new designs have been added, ColorCover hides the
desktop (for HC 2.1 and above) and the custom colors screen is improved.
The last version did not get along very well with other stacks. This one
has much better manners. Shareware $5.00 fee entitles you to all future
shareware upgrades and any new graphics that we make.
Requires a color/greyscale Macintosh and HyperCard 2.0+ or player. (There
is an old freeware version for black and white.) Now that it is a color
stack, you have to crank up the memory on your Hypercard app before you run
it. All color stacks require this and there are getting to be more and more
of them. To do this:
1. SINGLE CLICK the icon for your Hypercard or Player App. NOT THE LogoP icon!
2. Do a Get Info from the Finder.
3. Set the minimum and preferred memory to at least 1500K. Try it, if you
still can't see color on the splash screen, crank it up higher.

The one last bug is with PowerPC 604 equipped Macs. The fractions
tests have corrupted boundaries. I don't know what causes it, but I'll

Mankala 3.0 is a plug-in module from the Platypus Collection. It requires
Hypercard 2.1 or Player (or higher), 4 Megabytes or more of of RAM and a

Please read the documentation.
Mankala (an African strategy game) takes about a minute to learn to play.
Basically you deal out little black stones from your side around the board
clockwise, trying to capture as many from your opponent's side as possible,
while at the same time not leaving your side in a vulnerable state. For
such a simple game, the complexity of the strategy is remarkable. Mankala
2.0 is a color retrofit of the original freeware version. The basic
workings are pretty much the same. The look and feel are a lot jazzier and
journalizing has been added so that you may print out the moves if you
like. There are a lot of Mankala games around. This one has the best
look and feel of any I've seen. Play is realistic, has black stone
graphics instead of numbers, and they move at a human speed. Platypus'

From: rdavis@metrowerks.com
Subject: MatchCard 1.0.1
This is release 1.0 of the card matching game MatchCard. The purpose of
this game is to teach children the upper and lower case letters of the
alphabet. The user clicks on one card to turn it over, then another
card. If the second card has the same letter on it as the first, though
in a different case, this is a match. The cards are then removed from
the board. If they are different, then both cards are turned face down.
This continues until all the cards are gone.

#### BINHEX phon-id-hc.hqx ****
From: (Thomas Dick) dickt@ucs.orst.edu
Subject: Phon ID
Keywords: PHONICS PHONOGRAMS READING PEDAGOGY PLATYPUS HYPERCARD B&W
Phon ID is designed to address the beginning phase of reading based on the
phonics [as opposed to the see-say] method of reading pedagogy. It is
based on "The Writing Road to Reading" by Romalda Bishop Spalding.
The idea in Phon ID is for the user to hear a sound and identify--from a
field of four-- a phonogram that can represent that sound. Clearly the
English language has many ways to write the same sound, but the program is
organized so that an ambiguous question will never appear. For example,
you will not be forced to choose between "ir", "ur", and "er" (they may all
sound identical). Correct answers win you a stack of PlatyBucks. You pay
a PlatyBuck for each incorrect answer but you never go in the hole.
Incorrect answers provide additional information designed to help the
student master the material. An incorrect response will display an example
of the correct phonogram making the given sound in the context of a word.
The word flashes to draw attention to itself, and speaks if you have HC
player 2.3. For example, if you did not choose the oa phonogram when you
hear the long o sound, the word "oar" will flash [and possibly speak.]
Recommended classroom uses: Let each child only drill enough to earn one
stack of PlatyBucks if the material is new to him, or two if it is review.
You can have them trade their virtual Platybucks in for a small treat. You
can put a large number of children through this drill in a short time, as
it moves very quickly.
This program should work on B&W Macs and old (6.05) system software. We
recommend Hypercard 2.1 Player or better. If you have Hypercard 2.3 you
get the additional benefit of the words speaking.

Preschool Playtime is a deceivingly simple program to teach letter, digit, color

group. So simple anybody could program it‹NOT! A successful program for this
age group has to be utterly clean and absolutely responsive. It must require no
reading, no pulling down of menus, no constraint that the user stick to the front
window. Stray clicks can not cause bad or dangerous things to happen.
³Correct² clicks are encouraged by providing interesting sounds, bright colors,
and animations. That age old fascinator of human beings, the element of
chance, is also used. ³Incorrect² clicks are handled by gently guiding the
youngster to click the correct item. (All these goodies carry a price: they make
the stack BIG! There is no way around it. If your youngster can drive a
mouse, he (or she) can get hours of entertainment from this program at the same
time he is acquiring letter, digit, and counting skills. At $10 shareware it¹s a
bargain for you ‹ much cheaper, less hassle, and more educational than an
amusement park, and once you get your child started, it¹s hands off for you.

with a random time and the child has to click in one of four
buttons that show the time in decimal format. Clicking on the
correct time makes a happy sound and shows a smiley clock face.
Clicking on the incorrect time makes a sad sound, shows a sad clock
and gives the kid another chance. Time Teacher will run on anything
from a 512K to a PowerPC (I think). It has primitive graphics and
sounds (to say the least) and is in black and white.
