Creative games include an acclaimed Pong clone, a Pac-Man clone, animations, music makers, mathematical puzzles, educational quizzes, etc. Original HyperTalk utilities include a Find/Replace function, an Internet data converter, an automatic index generator, a progress bar, synchronised multiple scrolling fields, and much much more. It is also an ideal vehicle to learn scripting, as well as to demonstrate the awesome power of HyperCard! * HyperGames has been "battle-tested" with real kids. In fact, many of the games were conceived by kids, and most of the graphics were drawn by kids (8, 6, and 4 year olds). HyperGames can be enjoyed in HyperCard Player, but you can extend the games and utilities if you take full advantage of HyperCard. HyperGames has colour, but most of the games and utilities function well on a black & white monitor. * The design philosophy of HyperGames is "simplicity and consistency", or "Keep it Simple Stupid (K.I.S.S.)". The scripts contain 100% pure HyperTalk with no X-things (XCMD, XFCN) except for "AddColor". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * HyperGames is HyperCard stackware for the Apple Macintosh computer, but it will be converted to cross-platform QuickTime Interactive (QTi) format. It will be on-line playable directly from a web browser, and downloadable to any personal computer that supports Apple's QuickTime Interactive (QTi) technology.

Wood MATH DITTOS 2: Fact Controlled MULTIPLICATION for Special Learners is a unique tool for teaching multiplication computation. It is a sequential, ground up, approach to multiplication with fact support, much like a controlled vocabulary in reading. Each page includes fact bars which present only the facts to be used on the page. Both special learners and regular education students benefit from its thorough and systematic approach. Unlike other workbooks, it is published as a computer document--buy it once, use it forever. Ninety-nine blackline masters comprise the basic package. Each page contains a factstrip or factbar presenting and previewing the facts to be used on the page. Worksheets follow a logical and thorough progression through the operation of multiplication computation. A similar number of complete answer sheets is included. Sub-answers are always included, so teachers may do what they've been trained to do: diagnose and teach. Presented in the Adobe Portable Document Format, the MATH DITTOS 2 series now features fast and easy navigation throughout the documents. New in the PDF 3.1 version *"No Fact" pages still with restricted facts, but no fact bars. These are an essential item for checking mastery after specific fact sections in the regular masters are completed. *Speed Drill Worksheets are included. Twenty-one pages of fact drill pages include single and multiple-fact pages that parallel the fact progression in MD2. *Small flash card masters are included for duplication and student use. These are just the right size to fit in a pocket and stand at least a 50-50 chance of actually making it home with your students. *Large flash card masters. These are ideal for in-front-of-the-class drill. The above items were previously included only with the more expensive ClarisWorks=81 version. Other Features *A thorough and logical task analysis of the steps in multiplication is employed. *Fact support on all pages of the basic blackline/color worksheets *Grid overlays for keeping answers organized in 2 and 3-digit multiplier problems. *Platform Independent: Adobe Acrobat .pdf documents--uses free Acrobat Reader that is available for many platforms (Mac, Win 3.1, Win 95, etc.).

It is written in AppleScript and can be modified by users as necessary. It has been tested with our only serial printer - the Epson Stylus Color 800. On PowerMacs and Quadras under System 8.1 How it Works A client prints as if the printer were connected to one of its ports. Instead of the "Print Monitor" application being launched, the PowerSPrint Client application will be launched. It will transfer the file to the server and remove it from the "PrintMonitor Documents" folder. Once on the client machine, the file will be printed to the printer. THIS SOFTWARE DOES NOT REQUIRE THE MOUNTING OF REMOTE VOLUMES WHILE RUNNING. It does, however, require "Program Linking" to be ON for the server and at the mounting of one server volume to set it up. When you print, the client will be launched. It will then transfer the spool files to the server and subsequently delete them and quit.

When scrolling through a document, it is sometimes hard to find the last point you viewed, especially if it was located near the end of the document. Pretty Scroll makes it easier. Because the scrolling process is animated, you can follow the movement and find the last point easily. What's new in 2.0b2? - Changed scrolling algorithm so that only the visible part of the window is animated. - Fixed a bug that Pretty Scroll doesn't remember registration info.

I originally made this for a Maths Assignment at school and have now decided to release the source code out to the public so other people can use it. The code is pretty shocking as I wrote this in about 5 minutes. I've been meaning to get it to let you type in the formula for the graph instead of having to modify the source code and recompile it but I haven't yet gotten around to it.
