LEARNING WITH LEEPER

(Software Projects / Sierra On-Line)



Learning with Leeper is a collection of four award-winning games

developed for pre-readers. No adult supervision is required and basic

skill focus includes shape matching, counting, eye-hand coordination

and creative play.





TITLE SCREEN

When you have loaded Learning with Leeper you will be at the title

screen. To go to the menu press key marked  1  on your keyboard. This

will take you to the selection screen. Using the movement keys on your

joystick move Leeper over the game you wish to play and press key

marked  N  . You will then be taken to the selected game. By pressing

1  at any time during the game you will be returned to the title screen.



DOG COUNT

In Dog Count the child has to feed the dogs that appear on the left-

hand side of the screen with the bones at the right. Use Leeper to

select the correct amount of bones to feed the dogs. If the child is

successful then the dogs will stand and wag their tails. Move Leeper

up and down using keys  Q  and  Z  . Pressing the letter  N  will select

the amount of bones to be fed to the dogs.



BALLOON POPS

Your child will be in control of a balloon to lift crates with letters

on them up to a ledge to match with another crate. Lift crate by hooking

it with the balloon and guiding it up to the ledge. If your child gets

it right then a tune will play and the balloon will sail away with the

letter. If not successful the computer will let them know.



LEAPFROG

Move the little green frog around the different mazes and avoid being

caught by the chasing centipede. The animated characters will keep the

child amused for a very long time.



PAINT BOX

Use your computer as a paint box without all the mess of mixing paint

and spilling water. Draw houses, flowers, trees or anything they want.

The only limit is the child's imagination. Very colourful and creative.



An example of a house is shown. Why not fill in the areas with colour?

Use cursor keys to select colour or mode. Place the sight square over

the coloured square you want to paint with and press key marked  N  on

your Spectrum (or button on your joystick). The border will now change

to the colour you will paint with. To draw lines choose the square 

marked / in the same way as before. Move sight to the place you want to

start drawing and press and hold down the  N  key. Move around the 

screen to where you want to be and press the  N  key again. Simple,

isn't it? To erase the last thing drawn, select the very end box that

doesn't contain anything and press the  N  key ... caution ... If you

press this key twice at this point it will erase all of your picture.

Happy Drawing.
