Notes This part of the website
contains useful resources that I have developed as an IT teacher. Click on the D button to download the
resource. To save the endless downloading, files have
been grouped together in self executing zip files. All files have
been scanned with an up to date anti-virus software. These

Traffic Lights Simulator
This modest little simulator works well as part of an introductory
activity on Control at KS3 or KS2. I made it because it was
just a fun thing to do to see if I could create an application that would
work as a simulator and consequently the VB source code and the user form
are a bit of a mess. :) Please let me know if there are
any issues or problems with this application. The
Traffic_Lights_04.exe file runs without any installation.
