ToonTalk
© 1998 Animated Programs
ToonTalk attempts to teach children how to create and run programming routines. A game format is used that teaches kids how to build programs step by step. Kids help a martian repair a spaceship by solving a sequence of interactive puzzles that gradually introduce the programming techniques. While strong conceptually, the program misses the mark with its awkward navigation and complicated directions. Even the set of accompanying help cards doesn't provide adequate assistance.
