NURSERY TUNES
 

This is a simple small child's game, created with the visual programming language Delphi.   It is a memory game centred around Nursery Rhyme tunes.  


The game can be played in three different modes.  In mode 1, the object the game is to correctly identify Nursery rhyme tunes when the first few notes of the tune are played.  A screen-shot of the game at the start of mode 1 play is shown below.

 


Clicking the NEW GAME button will play the first few notes of a well known Nursery Rhyme tune, with a flash of colour for each note on the row of black rectangles.  The guitar player is then replaced by a double column list of Nursery Rhyme names and the player has to click the left-hand mouse button on the Nursery Rhyme that they think matches the notes they have heard.  To help the younger players, clicking the right-hand mouse button with the mouse pointer over a Nursery Rhyme name will cause that name to be spoken.  There are 3 levels of play in mode 1 with fewer notes to recognise at the higher levels.  The PLAY IT AGAIN button can be clicked at any time that it is available to hear a replay of the notes.

In mode 2 play, on clicking the NEW GAME button, the player hears the first few notes of a Nursery Rhyme tune and this time has to remember the sequence of notes and click the black rectangle notes in the same sequence as heard.  There is a flash of colour in the black rectangles for each note to help the player remember the sequence.  To start again when part the way through a sequence you can click either the PLAY IT AGAIN button or the RESET button.  Once again there are 3 levels of play with more notes to remember at the higher levels.

Finally, in mode 3 play the player can click the black rectangle notes to make up their own tune.  Clicking the PLAY IT AGAIN button will replay their tune which can then be added to if desired up to a maximum of 20 notes.
