A game to develop the spatial and geometric capacity

The Mallorcan, I. De Marchi, has just published in the net the version 2.0 of the programme "Pieces", an educative game that develops spatial and geometric capacity in an entertaining way.

"Pieces" 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 available in Catalan, Spanish, English, Italian and French. From the author's web, a demo version can be downloaded or the complete programme can be acquired.
