KeyBang is entertaining so it encourages children toward the computer. It also provides a secure barrier between children and computer data so parents can feel comfortable with this encouragement. KeyBang traps all mouse and keyboard input to your Amiga and responds with polygons, images and sounds. The images and sounds are IFF ILBM and 8SVX files which you can create with most Amiga image and sound editors. A large set of images and sounds are supplied with KeyBang. KeyBang also reads special Multimedia files which allow its behavior to be programmed. You can learn to program KeyBang yourself or use modules provided by KeyBang Software. Under AmigaDOS 2.0 and greater, KeyBang can be installed as a screen blanker to activate itself if you leave your Amiga unattended. It can also be made to run in any available screen mode. NEW FEATURES Version 1 of KeyBang was released as shareware just over a year ago. It lacked the ability to display IFF ILBM images and to be installed as a screen blanker. It also wasn't programmable with the special multimedia files. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS KeyBang is compatible with AmigaDOS 1.3 and higher. Under 1.3 it runs on PAL and NTSC machines. Under AmigaDOS versions 2 and greater KeyBang can use any screenmode available on your system. It can be installed on a hard disk (Which will make loading images and sounds much faster) GETTING KeyBang VERSION 1 KeyBang version 1 was uploaded to grind.isca.uiowa.edu The file name is /amiga/misc/KeyBang1.0.lzh KeyBang version 2 is currently only available from Walnut Creek CDROM. PRICE $19.95 (US) including shipping. DISTRIBUTABILITY KeyBang version 2 is commercial. OTHER Shareware donors for KeyBang version 1 will receive a free copy of KeyBang version 2. As a consequence, shareware donations for KeyBang version 1 will no longer be accepted. Thank you to those of you who supported this project in its infancy. -- Read all administrative posts before putting your post up. Mailing list: announce-request@cs.ucdavis.edu.
