New to SDN

Music  and Graphics with a new twist.  The Child is presented
with  words  and sentences to a background of an OUT OF FOCUS
PCX IMAGE and must correctly OVERTYPE the WORDS within a TIME
LIMIT.  If the SCHEDULE IS  MET,  THE  PICTURE  is  PRESENTED
again, this time IN FOCUS, and a MUSICAL REWARD is PLAYED for
the Timely Scholar.  If THE DEADLINE is NOT Met, a rude noise
is  made  and  the  next  OUT  OF  FOCUS  and  WORDS COMBO is
presented for another TIMED ROUND OF PLAY.

TIME LIMITS suddenly become imminent when our children  start
school,  and  deadlines  can  be as important to learn as the
other  more  cerebral  academic  pursuits.   Often   a   well
completed  assignment  is  not so well received when received
late.

We  gathered together 29 Tunes and 29 pictures in  ZSOFT  PCX
format  to  get  an  introductory  library  of  MUSIC and ART
together, but the intent of this program is that the word and
sentence selection is revised to match a lesson  plan  on  an
ongoing  basis,  even  though  the  SAMPLE  that  we have put
together need not be changed if you are  not  adventurous.The
index  WORKBOOK.DAT  can  be  revised  in  an ascii editor to
present selected PCX BACKGROUNDS, MUSIC, and  the  Vocabulary
in  any  customized  order and level, and even the time limit
for each sentence  or  word  can  be  varied  by  making  the
appropriate adjustments to WORKBOOK.DAT

The  .SND  Music  Files  are  the SAME Binary Format as Those
Distributed on our BINGO and METOO distribution packages  and
those  may be used to augment WORKBOOK to suit your scholar's
musical preference.  (If you used all of the .SND files  from
our  various  disks  you  would have about 100 songs.) The 4-
color picture files are in the SAME FORMAT as those  produced
by  our  STIX  Children's  Sticker  Art System and Cursor Key
Drawing Program ( ZSOFT  .PCX  format  per  the  VERSION  2.8
STANDARD  without Color Map) and can be imported or converted
from a variety of sources.

The  LARGE LETTERS expand to fill all  available  space  over
the  lower  portion of the IMAGE and CHANGE COLOR as they are
overtyped, with a bell sound to make  additional  noise  when
things  are  going  well, and as we said earlier, rude sounds
when things are not going so well.

We should have called this one "HURRY UP!"
