Creepin' Critter Clocks 1.1.1 - educational game

Creepin' Critter(TM) Clocks 1.1.1

Requires HyperCard Player 2.2 or later (probably already on your Mac
whether you know it or not), or any version of Hyper-Stack Player.

Changes in this version: For Mac OS 9 users running CCC in the black &
white "evaluation mode", a button will appear on the title screen which
allows them to turn off the transition effects that CCC displays as the
user navigates from screen-to-screen. In some models of Mac running OS 9,
these transition effects occur EXTREMELY slowly. The button, which toggles
between "Turn Transitions On" and "Turn Transitions Off", allows those OS 9
users who experience the problem to use CCC without having to deal with
ultra-slow navigation. OS 9 does not cause any problems in CCC's full color
"licensed mode."

Welcome to Creepin' Critter Clocks, the fun way for kids to practice their
time-telling skills! Creepin' Critter Clocks is an arcade-style learning
game that is both challenging and fun. Kids swat bugs (the "Creepin'
Critters") or pop bubbles that correspond to the correct answer to a
time-telling problem.

Points are earned, in true arcade game fashion, for correct answers. The
amount of time available to answer a problem can be adjusted to suit the
skill level of the child. The arcade-style scoring provides an incentive
for decreasing the amount of time, since lower time settings increase the
possible scores.

There are four types of time-telling practice in Creepin' Critter Clocks:

1) Analog-to-Digital, 2) Digital-to-Analog, 3) Words-to-Analog, and 4)
Words-to-Digital.

Each type of time-telling practice can be performed by swatting bugs or by
popping bubbles. The Analog-to-Digital and Words-to-Digital games are only
available to registered users.
Upon registering, you will receive a password which will unlock the
following additional features: 1) built-in color; 2) the ability to repeat
just the incorrectly answered problems; 3) arcade-style "Top Ten" lists for
each type of time-telling game; 4) Teaching Mode where the hour can be held
constant while the minutes are varied (or vice versa); and 5) the Report
feature which records the results of each problem the student attempts in a
text file for later review by their parent or teacher.

Shareware $10/Mac. $50 for a Site license for an entire school.
