The Mallorcan, I. De Marchi, has just published in the net the programme
"
Peces" (pieces), an educative game that develops spatial and geometric
capacity in an entertaining way.
"Peces" is a programme that lets you play the traditional Tangram game,
a Chinese game. It consists of placing polygonal pieces correctly. To
manage this you only need to use the mouse to move, turn, or even obtain
symmetric shapes from the pieces. It is also possible to make the
programme help you by placing a particular piece or even drawing the
final result. For figure carried out, a mark is given. The programme
also controls the time used to make the figures. It is also possible to
make personal figures, different from the proposed ones.
The game, developed completely in Mallorca, is at present in the Catalan
version, but will soon be available in Castillian Spanish. From the
author's web, a demo version can be downloaded or the complete programme
can be acquired.
