Dear Moderator:
Please replace version 1.0 of Coloring Book presently in the Game directory
with this revised version. The only difference between the two is that this
one (version 1.0.1) fixes a bug which caused version 1.0 to hang on Macs
with 9” B&W screens. Since the program is not ment to run on these Macs
anyway there is no need to download if you already have the program and
are using it on an 13” 8 bit system. The bug fix is to prevent problems for
compact Mac users who might experience trouble if they try to run the
program anyway.
The general description of the program remains unchanged.

THE PROGRAM
Coloring Book is a full screen electronic coloring book for children of all
ages. The user clicks on a palette of colors to select a color and then clicks
inside the shapes to be colored. A random selection from a variety y of
amusing sounds is played every time the color is changed. Interspersed
throughout the coloring book pages are simple animations such as a fish
that blows bubbles, a pop-up jack-in-the-box, a space ship that fires beams
of energy, and others. There are 16 pages to be colored including
such things as a birthday cake, cars, flowers, space things, snow man, fish,
and many others; there is even a set of mosaic tiles which can be used to
create an original picture or design of a child’s own imagining. Coloring
Book was designed to be FUN for young children to use. No menus are
used. Pages are turned by clicking on large forward and back arrow
buttons. This is a great eye-hand coordination developer. My just-
turned-three-year-old sits by himself for 45 mins at a time playing with the
program. It’s been kid-tested with children up to 7 years of age. They all
seem to enjoy it!
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Coloring Book will run on system 6.07 or better. It has been tested on
system 7.1. Coloring Book requires a 256 color monitor of 13” or larger.
Coloring Book needs 1600 K of RAM to run. Problems will be encountered
if insufficient RAM is available. Coloring Book is a large program over 900K
in size when uncompressed. If there is enough interest I will modify the
program to run on 12”RGB monitors.
Enjoy
