Read full description

Pattern forming game which develops creativity and visual construction ability. Pattern-forming exercises are part of the IQ measurement. The goal of the app is to create complex patterns on a board of tiles from the basic tile patterns. Can be used as an educational tool from age 8. Can also be used as a Discovery Toy in cognitive psychological treatments. But most of all, it's fun to play with, and you can let your imagination soar. Usage: The boards on the game screens contain tiles (at the start the tiles display empty/solid squares). By tapping a tile, you can choose from eight basic patterns. By dragging a tile, you can flip or rotate the basic pattern on it. You can compose complex patterns from these tiles. The app has 4 modes: โ€ข Create Create your own patterns. โ€ข Practice Practice how to reproduce a built-in pattern. โ€ข Training Explore the transformation possibilities of the tiles by trying to cover a built-in pattern. โ€ข Memory Game Train your memory to remember a practice pattern and reproduce it with as few selections and transformation as you can.
