Brief overview of the applications being developed by the Bulgarian Match team

Multimedia Screencards: An application, associated with the Calendar. The child can play/redevelop/develop multimedia greeting cards for certain occasions, export it in WWW format and eventually send it over the net. A small tutorial on how to develop MM postcards is also planned here.

Multimedia Game World: "Save the Animals" game as an example. An animal has disappeared from a rezervat. The child has to find the animal choosing from certain tools, applying her knowledge about the animal, using additional information, "talking" to other animals and learning more about them.

Festival Land: An application which has  national/internationall and global/personal perspectives. Choosing by season/month/day/subject, a child can play with a multimedia presentation of  selected national/international holidays/customs concerning children. She can redesign a presentation using available resources or extend the Calendar by presentations on other global events or personal occasions.

Living storybooks: Basically it would be an example for producing a combination of a changeable “living storybook” and a musical enhancement The story "Peter and the Wolf" will be implemented. The full story will be developed with different possible paths to take. The story can be played choosing the paths.
Playing within a page: the page text can be clicked on and heard, the words can be clicked on and heard or state connected to it evoked, the page elements can be clicked on to evoke random events, the chosen next button can be clicked on to go to the chosen next page.  Random events could be chosen from states assigned to the actor or sounds played. Editing the story would be possible by creating new states and words, changing actors and changing the text on the page. These would produce variations of the created story - - steering the story. Changing or creating a new story from scratch will also be helped.

Web frame: A set of Web pages would be developed and their translated versions can be loaded on each involved country Web server. Pages should aid with information on possible Web use, access of interesting information, communication and exchange of works, and to be cultural awareness of the other countries.
