Program Information
Alphi was developed using MacroMedia Director. It is designed to teach children from 2 to 6 the upper and lower case alphabets. Alphi says a letter and then you click on the correct letter. If all 4 letters on the screen are guessed correctly, then Alphi does a trick. If at the end all 26 letters are guessed correctly, then Alphi does all of his tricks.
Matches and Tries keeps track of the number of total and correct letters.
Main Stage Buttons

Colorwheel - Cycles through the various background colors.
ABC - Chooses either upper or lower case. It can only be used at the beginning of the game before a letter has been correctly chosen. It then disappears so as not to confuse the little ones. The button will reappear when a new game begins.

Difficulty Level - 1 is easiest and gives 4 chances to match each letter. 4 is hardest and gives only 1 chance to match each letter. When a letter is matched, 1 is added to the "Match" display on the main stage. If the letter is not "Matched" in the given number of chances for that difficulty level, 1 is added to the "Tries" display on the main stage. In both cases.
