Well there you go, it's done  :D

I hope you like it, it's not quite the finished product I had envisioned but it does what I set out to do and the future only holds promise for more options, more themes and better interaction (especially as my daughter gets older and more demanding  ;) )

Happy New Year everybody and I look forward to checking out some of the other NANY releases now that I've got a bit more time available.  :P

Sounds implemented, I just don't have any :)

Directory Structure completely customisable..  There's currently 2 modes
  • Media Pack mode (thanks mouser) which is the whole a is for aardvark etc etc... (although I may not have enough images to release a full MediaPack by tonight)
  • MyPictures mode, which is, point CLF to any directory that contains pictures and CLF will search that directory and all subdirectories and show them randomly.
These will be configurable, so you will have the option to choose from different sets of media (currently only 1 but i would hope that the community will contribute their own over time) or MyPictures mode.

My implementation of MediaPack/Rewards mode works like this.
  CLF searches the assigned Key directory (eg. a) for all files, chooses 1 at random and ignores the extension, with that info, a second routine steps in and searches the key directory for all files starting with the found file.  So if aardvark.jpg is found, clf will search a\aardvark.* and display any other related files, eg aardvark.wav. (does anyone know what sound an aardvark makes?  :D )

and :-[ thanks you so much for the post on your blog!  I hope I can live up to your expectations!

Well the clock is ticking.  :tellme:

well I wasn't a member in 1999, so it must be my presence that tipped us over the line  :-*

congrats mouser!

Just a quick note to anyone who tried to download CLF in the last 6 hours (since my last post).  It's been a bit windy here and I hadn't noticed until now that my upload had failed. 

So v0.0.0.1 is definitely now available.

Hi Everybody,

I have uploaded a preview release of CLF, let me know how you go.

158
Hi Nod5,

Same mistake I made, and considering it's the second time I've ever looked at AHK, I wouldn't mind a Noobel Prize either :graduate:

159
Well you certainly do learn something new everyday, here's a fixed version of MouseCrusorWormhole for the record.

Pause::TransportCursor()

TransportCursor()
{
CoordMode,Mouse,Screen
SysGet, VirtualWidth, 78
SysGet, VirtualHeight, 79
    ; MsgBox, Right:`t%VirtualWidth%`nBottom:`t%VirtualHeight%
MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos
; Msgbox, The cursor is at X%xpos% Y%ypos%.
If ( xpos > (VirtualWidth / 2) ) {
MouseMove, VirtualWidth / 4, VirtualHeight / 2, 0
} else {
MouseMove, (VirtualWidth / 4) * 3, VirtualHeight / 2, 0
}
}

Thanks App, I was thinking of having some kind of ScreenSaver option as a feature, but I think I might incorporate IdleStart as a configurable option within CrazyLittleFingers!

Deozaan, yeah I check out ToddlerTrap, Skrommel hasn't done anything about Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and I can only assume this is intentional. ;)

Keep the awesome ideas coming people!   :Thmbsup:

Did a round of beta testing with v0.0.0.1 and my daughter loved it, she instantly knew that the buttons she was pressing were changing the images on screen.

Perry, not sure if I need to restrict the mouse as the program runs full screen, always on top, but I will keep it in mind.

Currently Ctrl-Alt-Delete is the key sequence to exit the program, this also has the side effect of bring up Task Manager, but I guess I could use an AHK script to control the exit of the program, ie. by capturing those keys and prompting for a password.

Thanks for the ideas.

162
Well I'm pretty sure the new one will work, re-written from the ground up.   My second ever AHK script, enjoy.

163
I never thought to ask, what OS are you using?

I'm using WMI (Select * From Win32_DesktopMonitor) to get the details of each monitor.

I had expected that Au3 Window Spy would see the desktop as one big space, that's what was wrong in my first script.

164
dagnabit!  I had it working perfectly on my little test rig here (laptop at 1280x800 with monitor at 1280x1024), i even found it useful because I was using the trackpad on the laptop.

Ok, so I've uploaded a new version, but I've made no changes to the functionality, this one will generate a MouseCursorWormhole.log file in your temp directory (start->run->%temp%), if you could please grab the last version run 'er up and paste a copy of the resulting log file here, that would be grand.

I just need to make sure my script can see your monitors, otherwise it's back to the drawing board.  :huh:

165
Fixed!  Post above updated with New Version.

Have fun.

Here you go, my first ever AutoHotKey script.

Install: Just run the exe
Usage: Press Escape to exit
and as requested
Left Click - Play/Pause
Right Click - Stop
Scroll - Volume Up/Down

Now, because I don't have a fancy mouse I couldn't test previous/next track, but I've assigned them to Mouse Button 4 and 5, so I'd be interested to see how you go.

Have fun.

Yeah my 18month old DD loves to sit in my chair and 'use' the computer.  I got an old PS/2 keyboard, cut the cable off and gave it to her.  That kept her interested for about 3 seconds, nothings as good as the real thing.

I did my first round of proof of concept testing today (just testing keyboard capture at this stage), and it was great.  Because I'm not capturing the mouse, I launched CrazyLittleFingers and used the mouse to start a slideshow in Picasa, we all happily watched the slideshow while bubs pressed random keys and the slideshow kept on playing.

So I'm thinking there might be 2 features, interactive mode where bubs interacts with the program, or silent mode, where the program just sits idly in the system tray swallowing keystrokes, so you can leave your computer unattended while burning a dvd or what have you.

NANY 2009 Entry Information

Application Name CrazyLittleFingers
Version 1.1.2 (25/01/2009)
Short Description Keep your computer safe, while letting your little ones, little fingers explore and discover
Supported OSes Windows XP and Vista
Download Link CrazyLittleWebsite
System Requirements
  • A Computer (with Keyboard)
  • A Toddler
Author kwacky1


Description
Bub's are curious, bub's like to imitate.  You're always amazed at the way bub copies the things that you do, and laugh when you see her with one hand one the keyboard and one on the mouse like a true fps'er, but at the same time getting quickly frustrated because 'nothing' is happening.  And then she hits the magic combination to hack into the fbi, delete some important files and shutdown your computer.

The solution, CrazyLittleFingers.  I don't want to deny my bub the simple pleasure of tapping away at the keyboard mindlessly, she may well write the next great OS, or simply become a DC member like her dad (and then write a revolutionary new program, that's donationware, of course).

The aim of CrazyLittleFingers is simple, lock out all the keys on the keyboard, except for one that lets you exit the program, and remap each key to provide a reward for bubs exploration. For example, pressing 'g' will display a goat and bleat, while pressing 'c' will moo at you and display a cow.
