New Release : Snowman Alphabet

Okay, I briefly let people know about this in 2006 when I made it. However, it never got a proper release through DENIAL channels until now.

It's for pre-school kids. Helps them learn their alphabet and the locations of letters on a keyboard while they build a snowman. Don't make too many mistakes or the temperature will get high enough to melt "Frosty". Successfully build the snowman and you are given a musical reward.

The first time 'round it will require a parent to read some of the sentences on the screen. After that the child should be able to play on his or her own.

I think the routine to render the large letters was given to me by Carlsson or Boray back in 2006.

Very nice indeed! ...and with this one, there are 15 new software releases in 2008 (more than one per month!). Let's see if we can reach 24 - I'm not THAT optimist though

Very seasonal. If we keep this up, perhaps we'll see a version of the Vic 20 released for pre-schoolers!

Hi,

sorry, this is late, I haven't been in Denial much recently.

I wanna say, I am fast being converted to PETSCII graphics on the VIC! Because of the 'square' characters and single-pixel lines, you can come up with some great-looking pics, like in this game.

Games for kids, always welcome. I have a daughter just learning the alphabet, this may be just right for her.
