New Build Release - Little Math Beta 1.0.65Hi everyone! Our first major update to the Little Math Beta is out now for you to try out! Due to the major firmware changes, Beta Testers MUST upgrade to the latest version. We've added lots of new content (with over 200 built-in lessons!), several new features, fixed a whole jumble of bugs and incorporated many changes based directly on the feedback that you - our beta testers - have given us. As always, we are very thankful and appreciative of all your hard work testing our software and reporting bugs to us!
NOTE: Your previous version will need to be uninstalled completely , and we recommend that while uninstalling, you choose to also DELETE the existing Preset Library and Media Library, so you can have a clean set of presets.
Therefore, it is very important to export any and all content you wish to keep before uninstalling! This may include any additional Word Sets, Sound Sets, Icon Sets, and Presets that you have downloaded, modified or created. Once you have done so, keep the exported files in a safe place somewhere you will remember, and then uninstall your Little Math. To uninstall Little Math, go to your Start Menu, All Programs, BrillKids, Little Math, click on Uninstall Little Math. When you are prompted to delete all Presets and media files, check all boxes and continue through the uninstall process.
Here’s a list of changes and improvements we've made: New Export File FormatLittle Math now exports all Media Sets (not Presets) in one format, with the extension ".LMTM". This makes uploading and sharing files much simpler for users. However, due to this new upgrade,
older versions of Little Math will not be compatible and will need to be upgraded.
Auto Forward SettingsWe decided the old Auto Forward Settings took up a little bit too much valuable space, and wasn't very pleasing to look at, so we've given it a makeover! We've also tweaked the Speed to allow you even more rapid Auto Forwarding, from 2 seconds intervals (slowest), or 0 second delay (ver fast), and even beyond that to -0.2 seconds delay, which means that the next pronunciation will start playing even before the last one has finished!).
SubtitlesNot sure how many dots are on the screen? Forgot what the next slide will show? We've added in a Subtitles function, which functions very much like Little Reader subtitles! Simply click on the buttons for Current and/or Next Subtitles to turn them on or off, and then click play. It's that simple!
Display Preview PanelWe've added the ability to quickly change between Icon Sets and Sound Sets on the fly - use Left Click or Right Click on the Sound Set or "
(next icon)" to cycle backwards or forwards through your available sounds and icons!
New Randomisation OptionsDue to popular demand, we've given users more control over their randomisation options. For Colors (only available for default Shapes) and Icons, there is now the choice to randomise for:
- Each Slide (changing every screen)
- Each Equation (changing only after a whole equation has been shown), and
- Each Playback (changes each time a Preset is played)
Math Display SettingsYou can now choose to display numerals instead of icons after the multiplication and division symbols (ie., @@@ x 2 = @@@@@@), as well as choose to turn off displaying math symbols (so that all you see are icons, without any "+" etc. or "=" symbols).
New Sound Set for fast pronunciationMany users asked for faster pronunciations for rapid flashing, so we've created a new, faster English (Woman) Sound Set, along with its own set of lessons!
And here are some of the more significant bug fixes: • Randomization problems - Equations showing zero or one too often -
FIXED!
• Icons issues - Toys and Transportation icons were too soft -
FIXED!
• Various minor usability glitches and bugs -
FIXED!
