Requirements: Kid's Clicks requires System 7 and 256 Colors.
Kid's Clicks will adjust size to fit your monitor's resolution.
Version 1.0.2 Kid's Clicks now has a much greater ability to display pictures which do not use the standard system colors, on monitors set to 256 color mode. Minor bug fixes. Added watch cursor during wait time, when loading modules.
What, Why, and How?
Kid's Clicks began as a program for my daughter; Allie; her picture is on the About screen (see the Apple menu). She enjoyed playing with the program, and so did we. With a few adjustments from the original version, "Kid's Clicks!" was born. Kid's Clicks is for fun, for education, for memories, or for anything anyone desires it to be.
The idea is simple: You have a picture which you click on to hear sounds play; sounds which are associated with the places on the picture where you click. Part of the fun is finding all the places where sounds are and all the sounds you can hear.
Kid's Clicks uses modules. If this program was hard-coded to run only a single module, built into the program, it would get old pretty fast; and it wouldn't be nearly as useful as it is by using outside modules.
To use Kid's Clicks, select the File menu and Open a Kid's Click's module. Kid's Clicks modules should have a descriptive name, followed by the extension: .KC Module. This archive should contain 1 introductory module to get you started, called, "Farm Friends," created by my wife. Modules can be launched directly by double-clicking on them in the Finder.
If you decide that you would like to create your own Kid's Clicks modules:
The files included in this archive, "Create Your Own Mac Program," and "100 Modules You Can Create," are meant to help you. Kids Clicks will be dependant on public support, if it is to succeed. I do not expect to be able to produce modules for it myself, so I am looking to others, who become inspired, to generate modules and make them publicly available so everyone may benefit.

Version 1.0.1 fixed a conflict related either to Power Macs or Macs using millions of colors; which errantly caused Kid's Clicks to display an alert message stating that it could not run on the machine.
