Product Description:

So there's this kinda nice application called Baby Time that my son (now almost 6) loved when he was little, like two or three years old. It took over the full screen and when he hit a key it would put a colorful shape on the screen and play a sound. Unfortunately, it doesn't run well under Classic. He's since graduated to bigger things (like dinosaurs and Star Wars), but my daughter just turned 2 and I'd like something like Baby Time for her. Well, being that I'm an engineer at Apple, I went ahead and wrote a simple Cocoa application to do something similar for her.

What's new in this version:

New shapes - triangle and pentagon, and the ability to choose which shapes will be used to when keeys are hit. Also better screen blanking to hide other app toolbars and the like, and better calculation of where shapes should be on the screen.

  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2

little taken aback about by this program's name, but then I thought I just had a sick mind. I'm glad to hear others also don't think it is "appropriate," since it can have more than one meaning and one of the meanings is not good. So, Dear Programmer, CHANGE THE NAME!
