- Dear Moderator:
-
- Please replace version 1.0 of Coloring Book presently in the Game directory
- with this revised version. The only difference between the two is that this
- one (version 1.0.1) fixes a bug which caused version 1.0 to hang on Macs
- with 9” B&W screens. Since the program is not ment to run on these Macs
- anyway there is no need to download if you already have the program and
- are using it on an 13” 8 bit system. The bug fix is to prevent problems for
- compact Mac users who might experience trouble if they try to run the
- program anyway.
-
- The general description of the program remains unchanged.

- THE PROGRAM
-
- Coloring Book is a full screen electronic coloring book for children of all
- ages. The user clicks on a palette of colors to select a color and then clicks
- inside the shapes to be colored. A random selection from a variety y of
- amusing sounds is played every time the color is changed. Interspersed
- throughout the coloring book pages are simple animations such as a fish
- that blows bubbles, a pop-up jack-in-the-box, a space ship that fires beams
- of energy, and others. There are 16 pages to be colored including
- such things as a birthday cake, cars, flowers, space things, snow man, fish,
- and many others; there is even a set of mosaic tiles which can be used to
- create an original picture or design of a child’s own imagining. Coloring
- Book was designed to be FUN for young children to use. No menus are
- used. Pages are turned by clicking on large forward and back arrow
- buttons. This is a great eye-hand coordination developer. My just-
- turned-three-year-old sits by himself for 45 mins at a time playing with the
- program. It’s been kid-tested with children up to 7 years of age. They all
- seem to enjoy it!
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- Coloring Book will run on system 6.07 or better. It has been tested on
- system 7.1. Coloring Book requires a 256 color monitor of 13” or larger.
- Coloring Book needs 1600 K of RAM to run. Problems will be encountered
- if insufficient RAM is available. Coloring Book is a large program over 900K
- in size when uncompressed. If there is enough interest I will modify the
- program to run on 12”RGB monitors.
-
- Enjoy
