Good edutainment if you want to learn numbers in foreign languages. Currently only in English, Swedish and Icelandic. I will try to get native speakers for other languages.

I can help for the French translation.
I think if you click on the background then nothing should happen, if you click on the wrong number then you should get an ‘uh-uh’ noise and that number should go red briefly. Bit confusing as it is, and the red blobs obscure the reward picture which is bad (kids don’t want to know how crap they were!).
Otherwise, looks and plays well.
Sure, that would be great. I use quite compressed sound, 11 kHz, mono, 8-bit, PCM encoded. It seems to be good enough for this game. I have numbers 0 - 20 and then every 10 up to 100. I save them as 0.wav, 1.wav and so on. If you can’t do that, then just create one long sound file, with some space in between each number. I know enough French to understand it, but not good enough to teach kids
Well, it is also intended to teach kids to use the mouse. That is also the reason that the balls are moving about. They seem to be very good at picking that up. They haven’t been too upset about this. Older people know how to use a mouse, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
For Arora that approach went all well, but Markus, being a boy, was just clicking wildly until the pictures appeared, not learning a thing. After I added the red dots he was really trying to get it all correct. Granted he was almost too careful, but left alone, he would simply do his best, and try again if he didn’t get it right. A slightly softer feedback might be better to keep them coming back, but not sure that would be. Julia actually didn’t even worry too much about missing some numbers. I will try to get them at the kindergarten to let the kids there that want to have a go, and check with the teachers, to see what they say.
A few more funny “correct” sounds could probably be good, but a simple “wrong” sound was best. Anything slightly funny would make them click wrong just to get that laugh.
Cool, thanks!
very nice idea , simplicity and efficacity
I got a javascript error (unable to reproduce it later…), but I remember that I already get it some month ago on your website, as I remember the javascript say (IE8/Vista) “s is undefined”… sorry I cant tell you more it happend only once (before applet start) but after refrshing it work all the time.
I can do this with my mobile phone and Audacity
That would work. I could unfortunately not save as 8-bit from Audacity, but I can compress that afterward, if your version has the same limitation.
