Animated Money v1.0 Tom Guthery IV
REGISTRATION $15.00 To Run:Type MONEY
New Release
Animated Money is a program for teaching coin recognition
and math skills. U.S. and Canadian versions of the coins
can be chosen. The coins used in the program are photo-
graphically scanned in, so they appear very realistic (and
recognizable). There are three types of games. First, a
money recognition game where the child matches the coin to
it's amount, both the front and back of the coins are used.
The other two games have levels of difficulty that can be
adjusted to the child's needs. One game has the child match
a group of coins to it's amount (2 dimes and a nickel
matched to 25 cents), the other game matches equivalent
groups of coins (2 dimes and a nickel matched to 1 dime,
2 nickels and 5 pennies, for instance). Context sensitive
help is available for the boxes with coins in them which
shows the cumulative values of each group of coins (but
does not add them all up - that is left to the child).
The boxes with coins are carefully designed so that the
answer is not too obvious (6 cents could be a nickel and a
penny or 6 pennies - the child cannot just match the
pennies without doing the math). When 10 matches are made,
the child receives a ticket to a short animated movie.
There are 10 different animated movies using techniques
like clay-animation, full-motion video, stop-motion, and
morphing. Sound effects and music are used throughout the
program. Keyboard and mouse support are provided.
This programs features 256 color VGA. Full sound support is
implemented for just about every PC sound device imaginable
including SoundBlaster and compatibles, Disney Sound Source
Covox Speech Thing, and the PC speaker (about 20 sound
devices are supported).
