Have you ever wanted to just head back to to the simpler days when you were young and didn't have things to worry about, like waiting for the next series of The Waking Dead to start again? Well, Everything Timemachine is an tool intended for kids ages 9 and up which a great mind numbing app which works for everyone. It introduces you (or a child) to the use of power to build machines that do different things. With a simple interface, your child (or you) can drag parts to the building board and connect them to each other. You start each build with a battery, because of course, it needs power. You can attach different types of parts to create the machine. You can use buttons, toggles, and timers along with tilt, sound, or shake detectors. Make connections to turn on a virtual light bulb or fan to start off easy. Then move up to using a color shifter, pixelator, or speed changer. There is no tutorial with The Everything Machine, but there is a manual that I found extremely helpful. It explains all of the parts and pieces that can be used to build the machines. There are also a few nifty example machines to start and play around with before you venture off onto your own invention from scratch.
