Did You Know?
By default, modern operating systems often hide file extensions to make things look cleaner. If you want to view the actual file extensions on your computer (especially in recent versions of Windows), it's easy! Open the Control Panel or File Explorer options, navigate to the "View" or "Folder Options" tab, find the checked box that says "Hide extensions for known file types", and simply uncheck it. Apply the changes, and you'll suddenly see the .txt, .jpg, and .mp3 endings on your files!
How to play File Structure and Types
Move the extension holder at the bottom of the screen using your arrow keys or your mouse. A specific file extension (like .txt or .jpg) will be loaded in your "shooter". You must shoot the current extension at the moving file icons floating above. Match the correct extension to its corresponding file type icon to score! Be careful not to shoot the wrong icon. Have fun testing your knowledge with these browser-based educational games for kids!
