Description & Goals

Summary

Slider Puzzle is a classic logic game that challenges a player to slide tiles around to form a picture or pattern. This digital version provides a fun context for learners to explore basic functions of the XO, learn problem solving skills, and develop creative projects that reflect understanding of a topic they are studying.

This is a WorldWideWorkshop project - see the WorldWideWorkshop wiki page.

Beta 1.2 update

Slider Puzzle v1.2 features Mesh-based puzzle sharing. The functionality existed in Release 1.1 but runs better and is easier to test in Build 542.

Functionality:

  • Sequencing puzzles and corresponding lesson plans
  • The interface was enlarged (still not full screen - this will be addressed.)
  • Functionality added to let users share puzzles via the Mesh.
  • Based on MaMaMedia.com activity “Jumbler” -- re-written in Python to run locally on the XO laptop
  • Full game logic and interface integrated with the OLPC framework
  • Puzzle functionality includes number of pieces (9, 12, 16), timer, solve, jumble
  • A filesystem based directory structure for image storage, having an intermediate directory for subject grouping
  • Fixed set of starter images, organized by subject
  • "My Own Pictures" subject allows user to build a set of their own XO-made images to solve as puzzles
  • User can select an image made with the XO drawing tool or camera and saved locally on the laptop, open it in the Jumbler activity, and solve it as a puzzle.
  • Multiple translations available (user selectable on-the-fly.)
  • Set of 6 customized Lesson Plans accessible in-app via "Lesson Plans" button
  • Keyboard shortcuts for all game interface buttons:
 '1' - select 9 pieces
 '2' - select 12 pieces
 '3' - select 16 pieces
 'enter' - jumble selected image
 ',' - show previous image in category
 '.' - show next image in category
 '/' - show/hide Category Selector
 '?' - My Own Picture
 '=' - Solve
 'Escape' or 'q' - end activity
