BTW - I have read every word of every post in this thread. My comments stand as stated.

Bear - I did not mean to blaspheme nor disparage Wonderland in its current incarnation. I was merely making a professional observation that, "If a new market segment was to be tapped" then said market segment may require a bit of UI tweaking for maximum penetration success. Chill out ... Wonderland ...

Let me toss a "little" light on WHY I feel so good about this project. 1) I have a "little" software marketing and sales experience in my past. Director of Marketing and Sales for Phillipe Kahn at Borland. (Remember Turbo pascal, Sidekick). Before anyone had ever heard of Intuit, I advised them how ...

Midnight Synergy would not get a profit tool for free. It will take significant work. For example, I would also suggest the between-levels navigation UI needs work to accomodate non-readers. For example, "Exit to Windows" menu item should be an icon showing (maybe) a "red arrow exiting a doorway". B...

Wonderland exercises deductive reasoning and logic without placing undue influence upon a child's hand-eye-coordination (or physical limitations) Wonderland can help paralized (non-reading) children in ways shoot-em-up, blood, guts, and gore ... and "learning" games ... simply cannot help. Games wit...

The words EXTREMELY SIMPLE PUZZLES means ...

IDEA ... a) Create a new discussion board called "Kinderland" b) WE, as a community, build a couple-of-hundered EXTREMELY SIMPLE PUZZLES and post them into the new "Kinderland" discussion board. c) WE, as a community, ask Midnight Synergy, to assemble and package the Kinder puzzles into a new commer...

Hint: Let TWO work for all......

hmmmmm ... wonder if this will work?

My first custom board. What at first seems very easy, often stumps the best. This puzzle CAN be done in about 90 seconds. Bet it takes you a LOT longer!

NOTHING hidden, NO precise timing needed. The way I like it. Pure logic to solve.

Enjoy

I believe ... to live one's life in hiding is not to live. Search google for "Frederick Volking". You'll find 200+ references. Fear is for others. I live my life in the open, and am proud of it.

But hey ... thanks for the concern.

I don't trust my 5 year old :D so my home pc auto-starts a utility called ChildProof. It stops Ctrl-Alt-Del, hides desktop, bullet-proofs against keyboard banging! This is what my 5 year old's desktop looks like when the computer boots: http://qpop.com/images/ChildProof.JPG When child opens Wonderla...

I know I need to download each level independently (unless someone has compiled a collection into a zip file). But my main worry is getting from level #1 to Level #2 to Level #3, etc ...

A 5 year old would need a map like the "real" game has. Any way to do that?

In several posts, you allude to seeking a volunteer helper with a little website and programming experience. Does 30+ years qualify? :wink: I'd be willing to volunteer ... and ... to put your mind at ease, that I'm not a half-baked wanna be ... here's my resume http://www.qpop.com/VolkingResume.doc ...

Remember we're talking about a 5 year old. Loading custom levels is a complex manual process which a non-reading 5 year old cannot handle.

Anyway ... how can I provide intra-level navigation using custom levels?

It needs to be a PhD solution (PhD = Push here, Dummy!)

My whole family has been fighting over who get's to play Wonderland next. But poor little 5 year old never get's a turn cause even the lower levels are too hard.

Does a COLLECTION of Kindergarten (5 year old) levels exist
