Pick&Click is a program for kids 3 to 5 years of age. It offers a computer environment for selecting colors, shapes, numbers and letters; while at the same time introduces kids to the Macintosh and helps them develop point and click skills.
Pick&Click offers five user selectable types of plays: 1) colors, 2) shapes, 3) numbers, 4) lower case letters and 5) upper case letters. For each play the computer selects correct and incorrect objects and displays them randomly on the screen. The user then selects an object by pointing the mouse and clicking on it. Correct objects are dropped into a jar through animation. At the end of each play the accumulated score is displayed. The objects we have simulated are those that children are most familiar with. This will simplify learning the use of the mouse and cursor. They will be picking and clicking before you know it. We hope your children will have as much fun with our software as my daughter has.
Pick&Click was created by Chuck Smyrniotis at Rapid Prototyping technology. Motivated by his 3 year old daughter and lack of affortable software. Kids too need to share toys which are primarily for older siblings (and parents) and off limits to them.
Pick&Click requires a Macintosh computer with a color monitor; preferably MacOS 7.0 or higher. It requires 384 KB of RAM and 357 KB of disk space.
