So there's this kinda nice application called Baby Time that my son (now almost 6) loved when he was little, like two or three years old. It took over the full screen and when he hit a key it would put a colorful shape on the screen and play a sound. Unfortunately, it doesn't run well under Classic. He's since graduated to bigger things (like dinosaurs and Star Wars), but when my daughter just turned 2 and I'd like something like Baby Time for her. Well, being that I'm an engineer at Apple, I went ahead and wrote a simple Cocoa application to do something similar for her. And, being an engineer (employed by Apple or not), I couldn't leave well enough alone, so here's the new and improved version. It can play not only various sounds, but also speak the names and colors of the shapes. You can choose between three different color schemes -- red, white, and black for the littlest kids; the Apple system color scheme; or the Crayons color scheme. With version 1.2, you can choose which shapes you want individually. Lastly, you can also set the volume from within the application. All of these settings are preserved in a preferences file.
