I was moved onto another project before I could finish this piece. I’d spent too much time on this one to let it just languish on my hard drive, so I spent the few hours it took to get it into a playable form (it’s still not complete).

An enhanced, second grade version of Dinner Count. This piece wasn’t allowed on the product due to the overly spooky Halloween theme.

A first grade counting and addition game. Family style dining at its finest.

A pen and paper quiz that I turned into an interactive “game.” This one could’ve used a helpin’ handful of user friendly. Oh well... It does mark my first easter egg, though. An appearance by a somewhat washed up former company mascot. It’s also got a game of pong at the end for those histogram masters who get a perfect score.

A simple gameplay mechanic with a heavy Flash gloss. I really could have used a thesaurus of encouraging phrases on this one.

Evaluating the player’s guesses ended up being the most fun (and challenging) part of creating this interactive. And though it doesn’t have any instructions, it shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out.

I used Director 6.5 and its new (at the time) Flash import feature extensively on this project. Even though the feature was somewhat buggy, I enjoyed working on such a big project. Unfortunately, after weeks of work, the piece ended up never being used on a tradeshow floor.

One of my earliest Director games, this one helps kids learn the important lesson that senators are indeed organic.
