Howdy,

just thought y'all might like to see an early WIP version of my new project. OK it's not original but who cares. This came about as I want my daughter to learn the computer keyboard (letters specifically), alphabet (upper and lowercase) and the phonetics.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think. I have much more to add / do etc...

Many thanks...

I just tried it, I think it depends on the age of the 'player'...I have no children to use as 'tester'...:)

* too static (I think a kid want some chaos...)
* you could show an image of keyboard to give an hint to find the key (..I think is frustrating for a kid find his/her final time & error increasing...)
* multi-world (my, you, ...) in advanced level
* give a final prize (always): maybe an image as a puzzle: better result, more of the image you see (you could use images drawn by the children itself, it could be stimolating...)

Kids are very 'dangerous' customers I think...

I agree about the on screen keyboard, maybe have that as an option that you can turn on/off.

Looks very 'kiddy', the bright colours appealed to my inner child.
