About the Game

I made Chelsea's Game so that my niece Chelsea (then 18 months old) could bang around on my Mac's keyboard without accidentally doing anything terrible like reformatting the hard drive, initialising some kind of revolutionary chip-swapping software, installing windoze 95, and finally crashing the computer (it'd be easy enough for even an 18-month-old to crash once it had windoze 95 installed.) So Chelsea's Game, the saviour of my Mac, plays a random sound and draws a random shape filled with a random pattern for Chelsea to look at, each time she presses a key. I've seen programs like it before but none quite the way I wanted them. Chelsea's Game was made for my old Mac with a 640x400 B&W screen, so unfortunately if you have a larger screen it only takes up a 640x400 rectangle of screen and only draws B&W patterned shapes - if your toddler clicks outside the rectangle then I take no responsibility for what he or she might do. I plan to make an update soon which will make sure Chelsea's Game fills the whole screen, and it might even have colour.

Even now she's two years old, Chelsea still loves her game... but now when she plays it she's asking for a Teletubbies game. Perhaps I'll make a Teletubbies game for Chelsea and pass Chelsea's game down to her little sister Elle-Mae.
