- Color Fun 1.0
-
-
- Introduction
- ============
-
- Color fun is an educational game for children of ages 2-8. There are
- four "mini" games designed so that kids can learn colors and computers.
- Younger children will have to be helped with the keyboard and the mouse, but
- they should enjoy the game as long as their attention span will allow. Older
- children should be able to play the game by itself. If they already know the
- basic colors, learning to use computers will be the important leason. Note: A
- sound card (or Windows speaker driver) is very important to game play.

- game and how many times it will be played. There are four variations of Color
- Fun: Select the Color, Push the Color, One of three, and Guess the Picture.
- Select the Color - a color's name will be spoken and a square of that
- color will be displayed. To answer correctly, the name of the correct color
- must be clicked on by the mouse cursor.
- Push the color - a color's name will be spoken and the color's name
- will be displayed in small type. To answer correctly, the correct bar (out of
- eight choices), must be clicked on by the mouse cursor.
- One of three - a color's name will be spoken and the color's name
- will be displayed in small type. To answer correctly, the correct square (out
- of three choices), must be clicked on by the mouse cursor. Alternatively the
- position (1-3, going from left to right) of the correct square may be pressed
- on the keyboard.
- Guess the picture - a color's name will be spoken and the color's
- name will be displayed in small type. To answer correctly, the square
- containing a picture of an object with the correct color (out of three
- choices), must be clicked on by the mouse cursor. Alternatively the
- position (1-3, going from left to right) of the correct square may be pressed
