My 1st Commercial Application

Posted by Legolas710 on Sept. 25, 2008, 6:21 p.m.

Recently, I've been working on an educational application which will be going commercial! A while back, a local person asked me if I could make it. It has to do with assessing someone's memory, and improving it.

The program flashes a random pattern of cubes for a short time, and then a student assembles physical foam cubes in the exact same order. There are six colors, and four cubes of each color; that makes 24 cubes in total. No two cubes of the same color can be displayed next to each other, whether it's horizontally or vertically. There are several timing modes in which these are displayed. This is a Game Maker program, though I suppose I could have done it in something else.

This program will be supplied to teachers that are trained to do stuff like this, along with cubes and other things which are irrelevant to the program. I could either sell the distributor the rights to the program and get a single sum of money, or get an amount per copy sold. I'll probably go with the latter. The great thing about this program is that it isn't being sold by itself, but along with training about other stuff.

If this is successful enough, I'm probably going to make more for different age/grade levels, as this is intended for kindergarten level. These other programs will be made with the help of the same person, and I will simply be programming it (and graphics, etc.). The logo is a trademark of this person's (owner) school.

Should you really be doing this if you can't do a simple multiplication problem?

6 colors*6 cubes per color=36 cubes.

Or were you trying to trick us up with some base 16?

Oh, there are actually four of each color. ;)
