Kite Creator is a sandbox game based on Phineas and Ferb, developed by Curious Media for the Disney Australia website on January 4, 2011 in a contest association and for the Disney UK homepage on July 25, 2011 as part of the Agent P's Top Secret Missions event.
Gameplay[]
Visitors are conferred a blank canvas on a plank board to draft their tethered aircraft sketches in a five phase process. Registering their choices with the mouse allows for a visual preview during each brainstorming step so that the product can be verified to suit one's concept. Creative capabilities instituted towards the builds are the frame formats, the underlying color, the stylish textures, the embellishing stamps, and the bonus ornaments. Upon completing a design, users may download it to utilize as a desktop wallpaper under two standard sizes.

In synchrony with the activity's launch, Disney Australia held the Summer Belongs to You!: Kite Creator Competition between January 4, 2011 at 5 pm AEST and January 28, 2011 at 3 pm AEST, inspiring young visitors to submit their aerial drawings in the heat of the southern summer. Three weekly code words were announced amidst programming from Monday to Thursday at 4:30 pm AEST for unlocking further elements linked to the series, motivating contenders to watch the network through the specified time on every week to achieve better odds of success.
Rated on creativity, originality, and presentation, twenty-one finalists were selected on February 7, 2011 by a team of Judges to compose a class with one winner and twenty runners-up. Prizes consisted of a AU$1,000 or NZ$1,000 Red Balloon gift voucher for the grand victor, and a Phineas and Ferb bundle holding two CDs, a convertible cab, a Perry plush toy, a DVD, and a t-shirt for everyone. Honorable cites were reported on the channel during February 7 to 10, 2011 from around 7 to 8 pm AEST, with the champion being disclosed on the latter day at 8 pm.[1]
Frontrunners are cataloged below, based on the rankings stored in the portal:

Background Information[]
- On the address, the background has a beach theme befitting the hot season, stock artwork of Phineas and Ferb wearing their beach outfits, a crab going back-and-forth in the sand, an animated Perry gliding with a parachute, and a hot-air balloon floating along the air stream. All of these graphics were repurposed from Summer Vacation Summerizer.
- The font employed for the pastime and its homepage is the same one found in the logo for "Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!", fixed as such because the sweepstakes was realized largely to promote the special.
- With the Paint Bucket personalization, one is permitted to pick any hue located inside the visible spectrum using the eyedropper widget, totaling 16,777,216 pigment options at hand.
- Up to eighteen trinkets could be placed in a single creation, correponding to at least one appearance for each available object. They are repeatable, however, so any exclusions may be conducted at will.[3]
- There are nearly 69.9 nonillion plottable kites, factoring in the four layouts, all the tints, the five constitutions, the five imprints, and the permutations for zero to eighteen complementary items.
- Blueprints can be undone, redone, or cleared by pushing the respective buttons on the top right. Doing so brings up a confirmation display to avoid unwanted accidents throughout the diagramming procedure.
- Changing a set structure with another unit triggers the reset slate configuration, as modifying the chassis is considered a way of coming back to the beginning for a separate construction.
- Applauding the victor, the site carried a message that read, "Congratulations to our grand prize winner! Your design was truly Ferb-ulous".
- Computer screensavers taken from the created kites come in the common dimensions 1024x768 and 1280x1024, equivalent to 4:3 and 5:4 aspect ratios in order.
- A number of differences can be seen between the Australian and British versions of the game; an introductory pop-up turned out visible, the evoke, revoke, and delete knobs had been replaced with two arrows and cross switches, submitting was reworked into a preview functionality, passwords and gift decorations were removed, and the ability to print wallpapers became implemented.
