Free Children's Summer Game
Welcome to Chaz Rapley's Children's Summer Game Web Site where games
can be downloaded free. This site
is
centered around my interest in developing simple computer games for
young children, using the visual programming language Delphi.
I am an enthusiast programmer, rather than professional and am
interested in making contact with other enthusiasts, both in Delphi
programming and children's games.
The games are developed from scratch, so are
original and are aimed at exploiting the flexibility of computer-based
games as well as being simple in concept and use. This site
features a summer version of my Frogs game (available on my main
games site - see below), called BUNNY HOPS and it can be downloaded
free for your own
use. The game cannot be played on this site, it has
to be downloaded to your own PC to play. A
description of the game is given below.
BUNNY HOPS
This game is based on the traditional game of Solitaire with bunnies
taking the place of checkers. The aim is to remove bunnies by
hopping over an adjacent bunny until only one bunny is left.
In
this game click the bunny that you want to move (its ears lift up with
excitement ready to hop!) and then click a blank
space that it can move to (up,down,left,right) by hopping over the
bunny between, which then disappears. There must be a bunny
next to it (left, right, up or down) to hop over as it cannot hop over
a blank space. A screen-shot of the game at the start
of the 5 bunnies level is shown below.
The middle bunny in the bottom row can hop over the bunny to its right
or left as there is a clear space at the other side of each bunny.
It cannot hop over the bunny above it as there is another
bunny in the space above it. It also cannot hop downwards as
there is not a bunny next to it there to hop over.
After a move you can undo it by clicking the UNDO button.
After a
number of unsuccessful tries, the First 2 Moves button becomes
available to get you started in the right direction! This
increases with more unsuccessful tries at the higher levels to show the
first 4 and 6 moves for one possible solution.
There are 10 levels to try, with an increased number of bunnys in each
level.

For
those visitors that may have missed my previous
free
Easter, Christmas or Halloween games, I have left them on
the end of this site for you to see and maybe download if you have not
already tried them.
EASTER
SWOPIT
In this game the
player sees an easter-time object which is then broken up and mixed
with similar but not the same objects spread around the play area.
The object is then re-assembled, anywhere in the play area,
by clicking and swopping squares. A screen-shot of the game
at the start of the Hat level is shown below.
The player selects the shape level then clicks the NEW GAME button to
show the shape for this play. Remembering where each coloured
square is in the shape the player then clicks the START button
to disperse the squares at random amongst other similar (but not the
same) squares.
Using the left mouse button the player clicks a square then click
another square to make them change places. This
method is then used to assemble the squares back together again to get
the shape that you started with. You can build-up
the shape at any position on the 10x10 panel. In the
above screen shot the player has clicked the START button to
disperse the three squares of the Easter hat around the play area,
mixed in with similar other parts of Easter hat.
If the player cannot remember all the squares in the shape they can
click the HINT button which will show a square at random for a
short while. If that does not help the HINT button
can be clicked again, as many times as you wish, between
clicks of the mouse in
the play area.
There
are more squares to remember with the higher
shape level Easter-time
shapes.

RUDOLF
Rudolf
has had his antlers all broken up rescuing Donna and Blitzen from the
polar bears! He needs your help to get his antlers back
in place so he can lead Santa's sleigh on Christmas night.
Using your left mouse button click a square of
antler and then
click another square to make them change places. Use this
method to get the bits of antler into the right places with the least
number of clicks of your mouse button. A screen-shot of the
game in play is shown below.
The
player is in Level 1 and has made 2 moves to complete the two squares of
antler directly above Rudolf's head. When you have completed
the whole set of antlers a green panel appears to confirm this and
Rudolf says thank you in his own way! After this you can
click
the NEW GAME button to play again with the same start conditions as
before and try and beat your lowest number of clicks. You
should eventually be able to do it in not more than 12 clicks of your
mouse.
In
Level 2 the
distribution of bits of antler are set at random differently for every
click of the NEW GAME button. In addition a square of broken
antler from Donna is mixed in with Rudolf's so you will find that one
of the squares of broken antler does not quite fit in with Rudolf's.
The object is to find the Donna bit with the least number of
clicks of your mouse. If you think you can see it, then click
it
and then click the
DETECT button to see if you are right. If it is not the Donna
bit then continue until you can find it. Try and find it
before you complete the rest of Rudolf's antlers.
Each time you click the NEW GAME button the antler pieces are
set differently at random with a different Donna piece to try and
detect.

downloaded free by clicking the red link below:

HALLOWEEN HUNT
The
object of this game is to discover as many hidden Halloween
characters and score as many points as you can. The player
clicks any yellow Witch button in the play area with the left mouse
button to hunt for the characters.
A screen-shot of the game in play is shown below.
The screen-shot shown the play after 40 clicks of the Witch buttons
with various Halloween characters found. The
number to find of each character is shown in the blue panel which also
shows the number of hits currently of each and their points value. So far 22 characters have been
found and the total points scored is 58.
The player has 75 clicks to find the characters which are positioned at
random with each game played. After 75 clicks the total
points scored is shown and the player can click the NEW GAME button to
try and beat that score. The players best score is displayed
after the first game.
As you can see from the blue panel, there are a total of 50 characters
hidden at random in the play area. Can you find all 50 and
hit the maximum score of 125?
