While games can teach co-ordination and ^1educational programs teach maths etc, little kids don't seem to want ^1to make the computer do anything else. Is this because all the ^1programming languages and books are aimed at older people, or that ^1some children who have an interest in programming have no one able ^1to show them? ^6 Whatever the reason, we would like to give these kids a chance to ^6learn. So please give the youngsters a chance! Half an hour or so now ^6and them is all they'll need. ^7 As you are reading this, you obviously have an Amiga, and as it is ^7Totally Amos in content, you probably have a copy of Amos! There is ^7no more than a copy of Totally Amos to get, and that's only £2.50p ^7once every two months! ^1 This issue's Amos for Kids is just to put forward our ideas, the ^1projects will start up in Issue One. (Due in November). ^2 Feedback from you is very important to us. Your views and those of ^2the children using this section will be greatly appreciated. ^7KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK ^3@6 HELLO!@ ^2 This part of [2TOTALLY AMOS[0 is specially for you under 12's who have ^2seen older brothers and sisters, dads and mums, using[2 AMOS[0 and would ^2really like to make the Amiga do something that you've told it to! ^4 Programming isn't just for the big people, everyone can do something! ^4(And everyone has to start somewhere). ^2 We shall include little programs for you to alter, and try to explain ^2what is happenning. These will not be mega shoot 'em up games, but ^2tiny routines that you'll eventually use inside bigger projects. ^4 There will be graphics and tunes for you as well, we think that you ^4deserve some disk space!! ^1 Please write to us and tell us what you'd like to make the computer ^1do. We hope to put in little programs that you will be able to ^1understand and change to make them do what you want. They will be ^1things that change colours, sounds, put things on different parts of ^1the screen and so on. They will get more complicated as time goes on, ^1but never too hard to follow. ^2If you have any ideas, please write to us at:- ^5 [1AMOS FOR KIDS,[0 ^5 [2TOTALLY AMOS,[0 ^5 [2 1, PENMYNYDD ROAD,[0 ^5 [2PENLAN,[0 ^5 [2SWANSEA,[0 ^5 [2SA5 7EH.[0 ^2 If your letter is on a disk which you'd like returned, please ^2include SAE or stamp. ^6KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK \
