A NOTE TO PARENTS

Anyone three years old and older will enjoy this program.

FACEMAKER is the perfect educational game for young computer users. Because
FACEMAKER is a fun way to learn how to use the computer.

Children can build a variety of faces and then animate them. Eyes can be made
to
wink, ears wiggle and faces smile in any order the child likes. When children

are pressing the keys to animate the face, they are giving instructions to
the
computer using a very simple form of programming.

FACEMAKER will even play a memory game with children. The computer will
animate
the face with a particular sequence of winks, ear wiggles, and frowns; and
the
child has to press the appropriate keyboard keys to repeat the exact same
sequence. This game helps improve a child s memory and concentration.

Whether a child is building a funny face, animating the face, or playing the
memory game, FACEMAKER helps a child become familiar with computer
fundamentals
such as: menus, cursors, the return key, the space bar, simple programs, and
graphics.

FACEMAKER will provide children with hours of fun as they make friends with
the
computer.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY FACEMAKER

Each time you play FACEMAKER you have the following program options:
Press 1 to build a face.
Press 2 to animate a face.
Press 3 to play the memory game.

BUILDING A FACE

Press 1 to build a face.

On the screen. you will see a list of your choices (computer people call this
a
menu), which includes a nose, mouth, eyes, ears and hair.

Press the space bar to select a feature and then press the return key. * If
you
selected the mouth you will see a menu of mouths appear on the screen.

Press the space bar to move the arrow to the type of mouth you want to put on

the face; and then press the return key. Watch the mouth appear on the face!

Continue selecting features until you have completed your face.

To change a face, simply select a new feature and it will replace the old one
on
your face.

ANIMATING THE FACE

Press 2 to animate the face you made.

Once you have built a face, you can make it wink, smile, cry, stick out its
tongue or wiggle its ears.

Press one of the following letters and you can see the face respond
immediately.

W = wink
F = frown
S = smile
C = cry
T = stick out its tongue
E = ear wiggle
- = delay

You can also write a simple program (a set of instructions for the computer
to
perform) and watch the computer make faces at you.

Press the space bar and a program box or program line will appear on the
screen.

Type letters from the list above in the order you want to see the
expressions.
Then press the return key and watch your face make faces. For example, type
FTF-
S (frown, stick out tongue, frown, delay, smile) and these letters (or
commands
to the computer) will appear in the program area. Press return and watch the
face!

When the program area clears, you can write a new program.

PLAYING THE GAME

Press 3 to play the memory game.

With your completed face, you also can play a memory game. The computer
animates
your face and you have to remember exactly what the face did and type in the
letters that match what you saw.

You will use the same keys as you used to animate the face:

W = wink
F = frown
S = smile
C = cry
T = stick out tongue
E = ear wiggle
- = delay

Press return to start the game.

Watch the face closely. It will do something like wiggle its ears and smile.
When it stops. type in exactly what you saw. For example, you would type in
ES for ear wiggle and smile. If your answer is correct. you will receive a
reward
and the letters will clear.

Each time you have correctly repeated what the face did. your score will
increase by one.

Then the computer will add one more expression to the series of expressions.
Keep typing in the letters for what the face does to get a high score.

You can see your best score at the top of the screen.

By the way, with practice most players can score 7. Going above 10 is very
hard.
The highest score we know of is 17 which was achieved by a 14 year old girl.
