Alphabet, shapes and colors
With this small and very simple program you’ll turn your 2-year-old child into an alphabet expert! This happened to our kids: 3-year-old Lena “Qoo” and 2-year-old Szymon “Moo”…
Although the “Alphabet, Shapes and Colors” is not a “pure” audio application, we’ve decided to share it with you. It’s free of course and you can download it without any obligations.
The program is very, very, very simple. In fact, it couldn’t be simplier.
..but it’s helpful in learning of letters and numbers… Just press keys on your keyboard! If you want to exit the program, press any key of your mouse. That’s all… and certainly it’s enough for 2-year-olds.
The very important feature of the “Alphabet, Shapes and Colors” is that the program takes (almost) complete control over the keyboard. The only active key combinations are standard ALT-F4, ALT-TAB and CTRL-ALT-DELETE. It means that you can leave your kids alone with the program for a little while without having worry about your computer
Moreover, the “Alphabet, shapes and colors” is a very customizable application. Source code is opened and you can modify any media files (sounds and pictures). There are two scenarios for modifictions. In the first case you can simply replace any .bmp and .wav files with your own productions. Just remember one thing - two files (sound and picture) associated with particular key have to have the same name (with different extensions of course). Second scenario is more complicated. You can edit settings.lua file to precisely customize the application. For example, you can add sounds and/or pictures to keys that are “dumb” in default setting.
