Yummy Drops was commissioned by Nourish Interactive.

It’s a modified version of Santa’s Parcel Drop with customisable messages that encourage healthy eating and an active lifestyle, as well as the food pyramid that features prominently on the Nourish Interactive website.

The average age of the target audience for this game is 4-10.

Mercury is an Flash-based elearning courseware that allows for the creation of rich, bespoke elearning from XML instructions, including HTML text, images, video, audio, drag and drop, click and reveal, quizzes and assessments. It uses XML files for asset definitions and layout as well as content.

The application contains the logic required to read content and layout from XML and construct the resource in real-time, including the page structure within modules and module structure within the resource, as well as information required for the interactive assets like drag and drops, click and reveals, quizzes and assessments.

The platform is so versatile that two different content authors could develop elearning resources that are completely unique in both style and substance – and without even owning a copy of Flash.

It also features SCORM support with a local shared object (Flash cookie) backup should SCORM not be available on the delivery platform.
