Fimbling Fun! is a CD-ROM for fans of TV program aged 2-6. I acted as head programmer on this project, making all the technical demos in the early stages and most of the final polished product. This was a lot of fun to work on as the Fimbles are so cute :) I am very proud of being able to name all the Fimbles and their friends without having to think about it.
Designed for young children and released by BBC Worldwide in 2003. It's based on the popular BBC TV series "The Fimbles" and is aligned with the UK's National Curriculum Foundation Stage, making it a suitable learning tool for preschoolers.
The project features several interactive activities, including:
Footprints: Guide a Fimble through a maze collecting objects.
Suitcase: Get packing for your holiday with the Fimbles.
Feather: Tickle the Fimbles to make them laugh - miles too much fun.
Pebble: Draw and create pictures in the sand pit and add animated elements to bring them life.
Shimmy Shaker: Create tunes and get dancing. ...annoy your parents. We didn't use it in the end, but I created a 'dance animation system' that automatically animated between different dance moves in real-time.
Additionally, the CD-ROM includes printable greeting cards, stories, video clips, and music from the show, enhancing the interactive and educational experience for children​
