Animal Scribble comes to Live
Tweet
Remember Tamagotchi? The little electronic game that allowed you to grow a virtual pet, that you could feed with piece of food or a snack? I remember I had that game somewhere in the late '90... Anyway, I've tested an application today that somewhat reminded me of Tamagotchi, but this time I'm talking about a Web app.
It's called Shidonni, and it's an Israel-based service suited for children in age 4 to age 14.
If you're a parent, trust me, your kids will love it! With the assistance of Shidonni editor, anyone can draw a simple animal that will come to live in seconds. Once your kids draw their favorite animal, it will start move around the page, allows them to click and participant in cool activities, and be part of the environment they've created.
One of the craziest things in Shidonni is the 'My Food' tool that lets your kids draw any kind of food, drag & drop it on the page, and watch how the animal eats it. But there's so much more than just that. The animal become the main character in each of the games that Shidonni offers. And I'm 100% sure it will make your kids proud about their little creation.
In a social aspect, Shidonni allows your kids to connect with new friends, share & play games together, and publish their pets in public.
Unfortunately, I do see an obstacle in Shidonni and it's the fact that the platform based on Silverlight. However, if quality time with your kids is important to you, I suggest you download the damn thing, because frankly it's worth it.
Shidonni works well with all Firefox versions, and IE browser.

"..I do see an obstacle in Shidonni and it's the fact that the platform based on Silverlight."
true that.
will it be more accessible when IE8 unleash?
I just played with it a little (yes silverlight does work with FF and Mac:) it worth the compliments, i'm not sure to which ages it suits, since although the simple interface and tasks it requires some advanced mouse control (arm-eye sync) skills in order to draw the pics- my little 7yo daughter liked what she saw.
i hope she'll try it but she complained that she can't try and read the text (a local version in hebrew for an israeli based startup could be really nice.)
N.
Well, tragedy.
Another great product is crippled by its dependence on microsoft.
sucks, man.
What about the game itself?
Is the game worth any time at all or is it just a way to get kids connected from their early days with the I.will.sell.you.anything.from.now.on fatcat?
Everyone here said something about the programming part of the game, yet no one was distressed by the fact that the Shidonni site does not bring anything new.
It simply clones an old idea (taken from Tamagotchi) and relies on viral marketing and media networks to promote this stolen idea.
That is really great -- I can't wait for kids to get addicted to a thief's colourful display window.
