The commands are the same as used in BASIC, with some new additions thrown in to spice it up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany kids and their parents are either intimidated, or bored by the mention of \"computer programming\". Visions of geeky guys glued to their computers in their basements, never to be seen in daylight hours again, may come to mind. Presage, the designers of this software, seeks to dispel these misconceptions with this unique product that aims to teach simple programming terms, all the while giving out a subtle message that it's \"cool\" to program.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedia Man, and his sidekick Goo, introduces kids to BASIC through 10 lessons, complete with step-by-step exercises. The interface is split-screen, with the \"code window\" in the left window, and the \"run window\" in the right. The command buttons are on the top of the windows, with many of the common commands having a button assigned to them. During each lesson, the user will be prompted to execute a command, then hit the \"run\" button to see how it looks while running. If users want a more indepth explanation of key terms, they can go to an online reference glossary for additional definitions. Hints are also available during each lesson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBesides the 10 lessons, there are also 10 projects for further practice. These projects are programs that can be modified by changing the commands and seeing how the different commands then affect the gameplay. Despite the same numbers in both lessons and projects, these are not really designed to be concurrent. At least the first few lessons should be gone through, before attempting the projects. A freestyle mode is also available, for those brave people who just want to program!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLessons\/projects \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeparate exercises on the CD-ROM \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCode that can be changed \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn-line reference glossary of terms \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVisual demonstrations of commands \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan import sounds and graphics \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGames can be posted on the Internet, or traded with friends\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Windows (32-bit Systems) \/ Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility\/platform sections in 'What You Get']\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Presage","offers":[{"title":"Used In CD Case","offer_id":48708321444118,"sku":"9914","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":48708321476886,"sku":"16401","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/QYLR6377QYQYLR6377QY.jpg?v=1719087694","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/learn-to-program-basic-junior-high","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
