Introduction

I have originally written this application for my daughter Chantal. Since her first year of life, she liked to sit on my lap and type on the keyboard of my Macintosh. She was always happy if something changed on the monitor.

The first version of Bambini was developed in this situation. It displayed different forms at every keystroke randomly. When Chantal was 3 years old and wanted a little more interaction, I added some additional games. The simple forms were also added with more effortful, lovely animal pictures, designed by Marcel Möri.

With iBambini, I brought this small, but beautiful application to the iPhone and iPad. The usage was adapted to the touch screen of these wonderful devices. And also some other features, like shaking, were added.

Usage

All games start with an automatic, which explains the game. With the first action of the child, this stops. The child can play now.

• Random
  In this game, the picture changes with each touch of the screen. Also, shaking of the device results in a change. After a few seconds, the image changes automatically.
• Search
  Here, the child must find the correct picture.
• Push
  In this game, the child presses a key. The corresponding image will be shown.
• Letter
  In this game, you have to find the first letter of the corresponding animal.
• Number
  Here, the child must find the correct number of images.
• Settings
  For each letter of the alphabet, a beautiful animal image is stored. Because of the different languages, it is not possible to use it in all languages without an adaptation. Because of this, you can assign your own images with the settings. The delivered images are for the German language.
