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: • Create Create your own patterns. • Practice Practice how to reproduce a built-in pattern. • Training Explore the transformation possibilities of the tiles by trying to cover a built-in pattern. • Memory Game Train your memory to remember a practice pattern and reproduce it with as few selections and transformation as you can.

You will be bombarded with brain-teasing questions, your task is to glance at a grid & swipe the row/column containing the answer. Easy as that sounds, you will be tearing your hair out as you keep getting it wrong! So this is how it goes. We give you a grid, we give you a rule, & we give you some values. All you have to do is look hard at the grid & find which row or column has that value for the given rule. Easy as you like it. We fill the grid with circles, squares, letters, diamonds, numbers and what not and then test your speed and observation skills.
