FindMind
It's a game:)
Contents
FindMind is a puzzle in 3D space with back and front side, there are billions of possible combination. You can choose ANY picture for the puzzle, that leads the number of combination to infinity. Each side is covered by an image divided into varying number of tiles (squares) - from 4 to 255 for iPad and from 4 to 100 for iPhone:
You can use ANY image from you device, either from you your photos album or by making an instance photo with camera!
Here is the main menu:
The playing is intuitive and very simple. When you start the game the images (back and front) are randomly mixed, the mixing rate is defined by
Difficulty value - see the twin selector at the top.
Difficulty value 1 means ONE random mixing flip will be done before the game is started, 2 - TWO random mixing flips and so on.
Press settings button and see if
LINES option is turned on:
To start the game just press a large central start button in the main menu, if Christmas is near, the symbol is a Christmas tree :)
By default, the number of tiles = 4 (
Dimension2), the level of
Difficulty is 1
Playing scene appears:
By a swipe gesture (press and move finger) you can flip row or column (or a tile, optional) in order to achieve the original images from the mixing ones. We can see one column was randomly flipped, so to recover the initial images we can flip one of two columns, lets flip the right one:
When it's done -
you are the winner! The correspondent message box appears with game stats (time and quantity of flips).
After that, a new page appears where you can see front and back images in full size by pressing button "moon", to return to main menu press home button:
To flip rows or columns the correspondent options
LINES should be turned on in
Settings :
You can flip rows and columns by swipe gesture in the desired direction (left-right-up-down), for example:
To flip tiles the correspondent options
TILES should be turned on in
Settings:
You can flip tiles the same way as lines by swipe gesture in the desired direction (left-right-up-down), for example:
Note: When both
LINES and
TILES options are turned on, to flip a tile make a short gesture, to flip a line make long gesture
You can flip the scene to see both front and back images the same way as lines by swipe gesture in the desired direction (left-right-up-down) by swipe gesture OUTSIDE the images, or precisely on the division line between tiles, for example:
While playing the background color can be changed independently of the game interface color scheme. To change background color while playing just make a double tap on the screen, the colors will be changed:
You can select difficulty level with the help of twin selector at the top of the main menu
You can change the number of tiles by selecting the corresponding value in
Dimension selector. For example, by default the
Dimension value is 2 (the biggest symbol in the selected row), that means the images will be divided into 4 tiles by 2 columns and two rows:
The images mixing rate is defined by
Difficulty selector. For example, lets value is 3, that means 3 random mixing flips (line or tile, or both - depends on
Settings) will be applied for the images. Ok, lets set
Dimension value to 7 and
Difficulty value to 40:
Press start button, the result will be like the following:
In the
Settings you can select the following game modes:
You can tune the difficulty level by
turn on / turn off LINES and
TILES options in the
Settings
The easiest level is when only
TILES is turned on. This means that tiles will be randomly flipped around they own
x and
y axis. In this case you can flip only tiles while playing
The much more diffucult mode is when
LINES is turned on. This means that lines will be randomly flipped around they own
x and
y axis. In this case you can flip lines while playing
You can turn on both
LINES and
TILES options. That means both lines and tiles will be randomly flipped around they own
x and
y axis. In this case you can flip both lines and tiles while playing. To flip a tile - just make a short swipe gesture, to flip a line - make wide swipe gesture
Which mode is the most difficult - just
LINES or
LINES + TILES - is a disputable question
Statistics is represented at the top twin selector
Dimension - Difficulty
When you solve the given puzzle for the first time, it will be marked as passed - Initial state
:0:0 will be changed to
:1:0, that means: one successfully solution and 0 records. If you run the game again with the same
Dimension and
Difficulty values, you can set a record if you spend less time or use less number of flips than in the previous game. The corresponding message will be shown, and
:1:0 will be changed to
:2:1, that means: two successfully solution and one record
Statistics in the
Difficulty section is shown for every
Difficulty level for the given
Dimension level. Statistics in the
Dimension section is aggregated by all corresponding
Difficulty level Statistics
To clear all statistics use
Clear stats button in the
Settings
You can select image for the front and back side in the bottom selector of the main menu:
There are 10 default pictures in the FindMind gallery.
To select the image make a double tap, and the frame around the image will appear
You can use
ANY image either from your iPad/iPhone/Ipod images- photos library collections or an instance photo with camera! (in this case new photo will be added both to game gallery and you images library). To do this press button Photo in the main menu :)
To clear game gallery from all added images use
