Timbles

I started writing a new game recently and I thought I’d take the opportunity to talk around it rather than specifically about it. The concept came from realising that I had the ability to help Rebekah with her learning through the medium of Computer Games! Yep… I was lay in bed thinking about a particular problem Rebekah was having and thinking that I should be able to find a way to help her that would be more entertaining and thus should engage her more, when the penny dropped… I’m a software developer, and a games developer at that – so there is something I could do. I got out of bed and spent through till morning working on the prototype of the game.

It’s a simple puzzle game that I call Timbles – I don’t want to say much more than that at this stage.

After working on it for a few days and feeling happy with the general concept I let the kids play it. They love it and it seems to be doing the job. I took it into Rebekah’s school to show the lead learner and he likes it to. The school are going to work with me on it to help craft it into something that the kids could benefit from.

New school year

Rebekah started her new school today; she’s been so excited about moving up to the Juniors. Up and ready quickly this morning, which is not the norm! I can’t believe that three years of infants has zoomed past. The strangest thing about the new school ( aside the lead learner ) is that the uniform is blue. Now, my favourite colour is blue and those who know me will know that I also tend to that colour; yet Rebekah doesn’t suite blue! Red is her colour… just like the Infants uniform! Oh well…
