Dot to Dot. With 85 minutes, we'll demo show. For everyone who's simply dotting it out, Alexa. Hey guys, Robin here.
Today we are going to look at a skill called Magic Pet. Now there are loads of Tamagotchi pet-playing or petting or rearing skills in the skill store. This one seems to be cut above, though. It transforms into a different animal each day and you can play several games with it and you get interesting facts.
So let's give it a go. Now, I don't know whether I'll be able to restart it or to choose a different animal. At the moment I'm a bison called Spike, but we'll see. Alexa, open Magical Pet.
Welcome back to Magic Pet. Spike has been eagerly awaiting your return. Spike is not ready to transform yet, but we can still have some fun. What do you want to do with your pet?
You can go for a walk, have a snack, or play a game. I go for a walk. Great idea. Let's go for a walk.
While you are walking with Spike, think about this animal fact. Native American tribes consider bison to be a sacred animal and religious symbol. Okay, let's walk. I get a fun game today.
When the settlers first came to the US, there were 60 million bison. By 1900, there were just 1,000 left. What would you like to do next? Play a game.
Super. Games are always so much fun. Before we play a game with Spike, think about this animal fact. Before settlers arrived in North America, there were about 60 million bison.
By 1900, hunting had reduced the number to about 1,000. Okay, let's play. Spike knows how to play a few different games. Do you want to play Spike says, guess my number, or rock, paper, scissors?
Rock, paper, scissors. Great choice. Spike loves to play rock, paper, scissors. The game will be played in three rounds.
For each round, you will choose either rock, paper, or scissors, and at the same time Spike can also choose either rock, paper, or scissors. I will tell you the results of each round. For the first round, do you choose rock, paper, or scissors? Scissors.
You chose scissors and Spike chose paper. Scissors touched paper, so you win this round. For the second round, do you choose rock, paper, or scissors? Paper.
You chose paper and Spike chose paper, so this round is a tie. For the third and final round, do you choose rock, paper, or scissors? Scissors. You chose scissors and Spike chose scissors, so this round is a tie.
During the game, you won one round, lost zero rounds, and tied two rounds, so you won the game. What would you like to do next? Transform, please. The magic pet still allows you to have your very own magic pet, which transforms into a different animal each day.
There are many fun things you can do with your pet. You can go for a walk, have a snack, or play a game. The current games include Spike says, guess my number, and rock, paper, scissors. As you interact with your pet, I will tell you three animal facts.
After you have heard the facts, you can take a quiz to test your knowledge about the animal. When you want to end your session, just say, stop. Stop. Now that you know a little bit more about the skill, let's get back to the fun.
What do you want to do with your pet today? You can go for a walk, have a snack, or play a game. Stop. I hope you enjoyed interacting with your magic pet, Spike.
Be sure to come back tomorrow to have your pet transform into a different animal. See you soon. Okay, so you have to come back each day. It gave me a choice of three names.
I chose Spike, or was it four names? And you could have chosen, you could have asked for more names and more choices as well. Yeah, there you go. Now, I did repeat that fact.
I don't know whether that's because I stopped the skill and started it again, and it got a bit confused. But anyway, there should be three, at least three facts per animal. I don't like the sounds particularly when you take them for a walk. Cool.
Magical pet, guys. Enjoy playing with this one and learning about animals. Sixty million down to a thousand. This is Robin signing off, and we'll speak again tomorrow.
