「Donut Dropのわくわく将棋」は、はじめて将棋にふれるお子さまから、しっかり腕を磨きたい方まで楽しめる、無料の将棋アプリです。 ○ 詰将棋モード 1人でじっくり取り組めるパズルモード。10級から名人まで、手数がだんだん増えていく問題が用意されています。攻める側は毎回かならず王手をかける必要があり、最後の1手だけは実際に詰みになる手が必要です。解いた問題には正解マークがつき、何度でも解き直せます。 ○ 本将棋(AI対戦)モード もちもちリング、ストロベリー、はちみつグレーズなど、個性豊かな9体のドーナツキャラクターと対局できます。段位は10級から名人まで20段階。1つ前の段位をクリアすると次が解放される仕組みなので、自分のペースで無理なく強くなれます。形勢評価バーで今の優劣がひと目で分かり、「待った」機能で直前の手を取り消すことも可能です(ただし「待った」を使った対局は段位クリア扱いになりません)。 ○ リモート対戦モード(iOS版限定) 近くのiPhone/iPadと、Wi-Fi/Bluetoothで直接つないで対局できます。サーバーを使わないので、インターネット環境がなくても、ご家族やお友だちと将棋盤を持ち寄らずに本格対局が楽しめます。万一接続が切れても「再接続する」機能でその場から対局を再開できます。 ○ 感想戦(AI解説) 対局が終わったあと、AIが指し手を振り返り、勝因・敗因や「もっと良い手」を教えてくれます。勝って終わりにせず、次の一局に活かせます。 ○ 遊びやすさへのこだわり ・駒を選ぶとふわっと浮き上がる、本物の将棋のような操作感 ・王手や勝敗を盛り上げる、和を感じるサウンド演出 ・駒の動き方が分からなくても迷わない、シンプルで見やすい盤面表示 ・音声読み上げ・BGM・効果音は設定でオン/オフ・音量調整が可能 将棋のルールを知らないお子さまでも、詰将棋モードで少しずつ王手のコツをつかみながら、自然とルールが身につく設計になっています。もちろん、経験者の方には名人・9段クラスの手強いAIとの対局もご用意しています。 本アプリは無料でお楽しみいただけます(広告が表示される場合があります)。 大切なお子さまと一緒に、今日から将棋の世界を楽しんでみませんか?
