KidToons

KidToons was a prototype of an interactive game for young kids where they could make silly movies. It was fashioned in the style of KidPix. A user can choose from a set of targets which he drags into the target zone (e.g., Steve's Face). Next he can drag a set of appropriate" triggers" onto a conveyer belt (scissors, sun glasses, pistol, etc.). When a trigger contacts a target, it transforms it (e.g., the scissors, cuts Steve's hair, the glasses appear on his face, the squirt gun squirts ink on his face, and so on). In this way, the kid can create a kind of silly movie by dragging out a sequence of triggers on the conveyer belt. Just for fun...
