This is a simple early-learning type program aimed at children aged from two years old.

The idea is very simple. A letter (in both upper and lower case) or a number is displayed at the top right of the screen. Pressing the key of that character causes a picture to be drawn.

A score is kept of both correct and incorrect presses, and displayed after each drawing. Some of the drawings are animated and have simple sound effects.

The program had a simple insert which contained brief but adequate instructions. It auto-ran, going straight into play mode.

No further instructions or prompts were presented on screen, just the letter or number, but this was no great problem.

The picture drawn varied in quality, but most were very good indeed. Sound was used less well but effectively.

A useful example for young children, but some of the objects may need a higher maturity level than the intended age range.

A useful but not outstanding aid to alpha-numeric character recognition.
