    create standard profiles for options based on baby age

    some of the suggestions i have read sound like they would be good for older babies(discourage smashing) and some better for younger babies (play phonetic sound of letter). As more of this functionality gets added as an option I imagine the option screen will get overwhelming. It would be good t... more

    Scripting Functionality to create new games from BabySmash

    Make it so you can use IronRuby to script the BabySmash primitives. Then we could create ToddlerSmash and other more complex "Speak and Spell" type games via script.

    Publish source code of BabyMEF on CodePlex

    I would really appreciate it if the source code of the BabySmash edition with MEF-Support (SmashPacks!) could be published on CodePlex (or sth similar).

    Record the baby in short bursts and play it back

    Great idea. When they press Space Bar, maybe?

    Use random shapes for mouse trails and scale the size to create depth.

    Map the keypad numbers to real numbers.

    Right now, keypad numbers show shapes

    Doh! This is the numeric keypad? Do the regular numbers show numbers?

    Learn to spell

    Have the app stored a custom list of words ie. their name and etc. So, if they typed it correctly they will hear some rewarding sounds.

    Keyboard softkeys still being passed through

    Programmable keys (e.g. those extra buttons that automatically load your web browser, email and the like) are not being completely trapped by Baby Smash. BabySmash still correctly interprets them, however it does not block the commands tied to these keys from firing in the background.

    Allow the mouse to create shapes

    My son has requested that he be able to create shapes with the mouse circles.

    He was trying to create a heart with the circles from the mouse trail but wasn't able to and he really wanted to be able to create hearts and other shapes with the mouse.

    Hunt for the sound mode.

    A special mode where all sounds are disabled except for one random key. Baby will accidently find it at some point and *may* be enticed to keep looking for it. *May* actually help with baby co-ordination (probably not) but could be fun to watch.

    KeySmash API

    You have gone to great lengths to grab every possible input via keyboard and mouse - why not package that up as a nice API that folks can use to build other apps like Teen-Smash, Geri-Smash, Spouse-Smash - but seriously - it would allow people to build nice kiosk style apps and make sure no misch... more

    That's totally the idea. Note the other feedback item on "Scripting Functionality." It'd be cool to be able to create other applications. I'd love to turn BabySmash into a "Speak N' Spell" where folks could write scripts to do the logic.

    Alt+Space sometimes works

    Actually more of a bug report. In the latest babysmash (2008-09-19 with automatic update a couple of days ago) my baby and later I managed to hit Alt+Space in such a way that Title Bar menu appeared. Alt is right near the space and little smashers are so good at hitting adjacent keys...

    support dual monitors

    add support so the movement works between monitors smoothly, you can move between now, just not carry mouse clicks through.

    Enable offline use

    I don't leave my internet connection on during the day, but I still use my computer. Would like to be able to run baby smash in offline mode. My daughter loves it!

    Audio/visual feedback for touch screen devices

    Watching video clips of Babysmash in use and nearly all the kids touch the screen - well I have a tablet laptop, it would be great to have the screen give feedback too

    Status: planned

    Great idea! Does your tablet support touchscreen or are you giving the baby a pen?
