Description

The present invention is a flat-panel swap organizer \ logic game that can be advantageously used to teach basic computer skills.

In the last century the so-called. a game of fifteen, with the task of arranging in the plane. 5 As is well known, the 4x4 unit square of the fifteen game has space for 16 squares, but there are only 15 squares in a square, leaving one space blank. The game consists of using the empty 10 spaces to sort out a shuffled state by sliding it out.

Also known are games that operate with offsets in the plane and use of space. Such is described e.g. French Patent Nos. 2 271854 and French Patent 2 321915. A common feature of these games, / movable elements to be 20> delivered to targets laid using free space or free sites I, while in some cases make their way to fixing ^four obstacles inhibit.

As a result, these games either aim at skill or remain at the level of puzzle-like, 25 simple director games in the absence of movable obstacles.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a solution which makes it possible in a simple way to create a planar logic game which, like the fifteenth game, is also based on location swapping and the principle of sorting, but with further discovery. This is done by providing a solution in the design of the toy that allows it to be provided with one or more movable barriers.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a planar logical sorting and instructional game having figures representing sequences suitable for arranging different elements, characterized in that the game plane has dividers, closures, playing fields and organizing channels arranged in parallel with movable obstacles.

Two embodiments of the playing field are characterized in that they have space for juxtaposition of figures representing series, such that the size of the playing fields is longer than the size of the space occupied by the figures, i.e. there is an empty space in such playing fields. Two embodiments of the playing field are characterized by the fact that there is space for the figures representing the series to be placed side by side, so that these figures completely fill such playing fields.

A practical embodiment of the present invention requires a rectangular or square play plane that is bounded by a fixed peripheral wall. The play plane is provided with fixed spacers which require at least one but not more than three - and also fixed fasteners 30 with at least two but no more than 181789

-1181789 requires six pieces. From the plane of the playing field, the dividing and closing elements form the playing fields (of which there are at least one, but not more than four). At the start of the game, there are series representing figures in the playing field or playing areas, which may be odd or even, depending on the playing fields.

If the game has a playing field, its length must be shaped so that beside the adjacent figures, there is an empty space of the same size as the figures. If the number of playing fields is different, the number of empty spaces depends on the relative position of the playing fields. That is, if there are two playing fields, they can be parallel and perpendicular to each other. In the case of two perpendicular playing fields, only one of them has empty space in the other, whereas in parallel playing fields both have empty space. In the case of three or four playing fields, there are only two empty spaces in the parallel playing field, with the remaining figures completely filling the playing field. In the latter cases, the playing fields are parallel to each other in pairs, or the rest is perpendicular to one or two playing fields. The dividing elements and closing elements form the directional channels which run parallel to two of the playing fields. There are obstacles in the directing channels that are the same size as the figures. The game requires at least one obstacle. Obstacles move by sliding in the playgrounds and staging channels. The figures also move by sliding. They cannot be lifted out of the plane of the game, the figures cannot overtake each other by jumping. They shall also not be able to skip over obstacles, separators or closures. The characters can thus move through the playgrounds and the director channels by sliding. The connection between them is provided by gaps, which can be formed with different sizes of closures and playing fields. Figures can leave each playing field in two slots. Playgrounds, directional channels and slots must be wide enough to move figures or obstacles by sliding, but two figures or obstacles must not move side by side in the same channel or playground. Figures are always considered to belong to one of the playing fields and therefore have to be created differently in color or form. (Figures belonging to the same playing field should be numbered from 1).

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawings, in which an exemplary embodiment is provided. The attached drawings show

One exemplary embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, is a rectangular play plane bordered by a 9x7 unit peripheral wall P, with sliding movable figures 1-5 and 1-8 in the starting position, and H, R, Sliding A, B, C, D obstacles in S, T direction channels, also in initial position.

1, the dividing members P, I, J, K and the closures E, F, G, L are fixed. THE

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along line I-II in Fig. 1, illustrating Fig. 5 between the peripheral wall P and the divider K, the barrier A between the divisions K and J, and the divider J and I between Barrier B, and the position of Fig. 3 between the dividing element I and the peripheral wall P. Also shown in Fig. 2 are the parallel arranged arrangement channels T and H with obstacles A and B which can be moved by sliding. The separating elements I, J, K and the closing elements E, F, G, L in Figures 1 and 3 clearly define the range of motion and movement of the obstacles A, B, C, D and Figures 1-5, 1-8. directions. Figure 3 shows the size of the parallel playing fields X, Y 1x9 each: the peripheral wall P, between the closure elements F, E and the separator I, and between the closure elements G, L and K, There are 105 slots and 104, 106 slots of unit size.

At the start of the game - the play area X, Y shown in Figure 3 contains the numbered figures 1-8 in Figure 1. The blank space shown in Figure 1 will remain blank until the game begins. The size of the parallel playing fields U, V shown in Figure 3 is 1x5 units each, bounded by the peripheral wall P and the closure elements E, L, M and the closing elements F, G, N, respectively. The playing fields U and V are perpendicular to the playing fields X and Y and are separated by the closure elements E, L and F, G, respectively. The size of the closure M or N is 3 to 3 units and is located at the boundaries of the playing fields U and V so that slots 107, 108 and slots 101 and 102 shown in FIG. At the start of the game, the play area U, V shown in Figure 3 contains the numbered figures 1-5 in Figure 1. The sorting channels T and H in Figure 1 are parallel to the X and Y playing areas shown in Figure 3. They are formed by the dividing elements I, J, K from the surface of the playing plane. They have a unit width, bounded by the dividing elements K and J and the closing elements Μ, N, and the separating elements J and I and the closing elements Μ, N. From the playgrounds through the gaps, and through the R and S director channels, the characters get to these T and H directories. The sorting channels R and S shown in Figure 1 are parallel to the playing fields U, V in Figure 3, as shown in Figure 1, with slots 105, 106, 107, 108, closure M, and I, J, K the end of the separating element, and the slots 101, 102, 103, 104, the other end of the separating element N, and the separating elements I, J, K. These areas are accessed through the gaps by the serial numbers 1-8 and 1-5 and by the channeling channels T, H, R, S

-2181789 may be moved to another location. Obstacles A, B, C, D shown in Figure 1 are located in the direction channels Τ, H, R, S when the game starts. The function of the obstacles A, B, C, D is to make it difficult to pass through one of the sorting channels Τ, H, R, S when pushing the figures. Their size is according to the exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, with a -lxl unit square. They can only be moved by sliding. It has unlimited movement, ie, in the T, H, R, S directories and any of the playing fields X, Y, U, V, but must return to the designated positions of the Τ, H, R, S directories at the end of the game. Each of the numbered sequences of figures 1-8 and 1-5 (four colors according to the four playing fields) is shown in the embodiment as shown in Figure 4, a square sheet of -lxl. Move around the game fields and channels by sliding. It is forbidden to lift them from the plane of the game, or to skip another figure or an obstacle with them. The games of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following games, assuming the following baseline and rules of the game.

At the start of the game, the X, Y playing fields are

Figures 1-8 are arranged so that the space in the Y playing field is arranged from top to bottom from 1 to 8 in monotone ascending order, leaving a blank space.

In the U, V playing fields, the figures 1-5 are arranged so that in the V playing field they are located from left to right in a monotone from 1 to 5 in ascending order, and in the U playing field from left to right in a monotonous descending order from 5 to 1. The playing fields U, V are completely filled with figures 1-5.

Obstacle A is located in the director channels T, obstacle B is in the director channel H, obstacle C is in the director channel S and obstacle D is in the director channel R at the start of the game.

The game is capable of playing one or more (up to 4) people at a time. In each case, the task is to produce some sort of order of the 1-8 and 1-5 sequences. If not one person is playing, the game must be carefully divided between players at the start of the game, and all four obstacles A, B, C, D must be designated. In any case, the game will start from its default state. A move is a move whereby a player moves a figure or an obstacle from a rest position to another position without moving either his own or another player's figure or obstacle. In the game, the winner is the one who achieves the status of the task assigned to him by his figures and obstacles.

Hereinafter, the solution of a sorting task will be described in detail as an example.

Task: Figures 1-8 should be placed in the X and Y playing fields in reverse order to the basic situation, and in the U, V playing fields 1-5.

Solution: Arrange the X and Y playing fields independently. We also do the sorting independently of U and

V playing fields. (Here we will only describe the sorting on the playing field Y, which can be easily followed

1 and 3.)

Step 1 - Move the obstacle upwards on T channel and then left on S channel up to playing field Y;

Step 2 - moving the figures 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 to the right on the sorting channel R and then up on the sorting channel T;

Step 3 - Step 8 is moved upwards in the Y field and then into and out of R channel

T is fed into a sorting channel, (then figure 1 joins figure 8);

Step 4 - The obstacle enters the playing field Y and goes down to the R channel;

Step 5 - Obstacle enters T-channel;

Step 6 - Figure 7 enters the play area Y through the S channel and moves up one step (up to the playground wall);

Step 7 - The 6-1 figures move left in S channel, then down in Y, followed by

The obstacle; \

Step 8 - Figure 8 stops in director channel S;

Step 9 - Fig. 7 moves downward and follows Fig. 1, then Fig. 8 moves out of the sorting channel S;

Step 10 - Figure 6 moves to the last position on the Y field (where it was 8 at the start);

Step 11 - Figures 5-1 move through the sorting channel R to the sorting channel T;

Step 12 - Fig. 6 follows Fig. 1 by stepping up one step in the playing field Y, then through the R channel and the T channel;

Step 13 - Figures 7 and 8 follow path 6 in the R and T director channels.

Step 14 - Barrier A moves as described in steps 4 and 5;

Step 15 - Figure 5 moves as described in Step 6;

Step 16 - The figures 4-1 move as in step 7;

Step 17 - Figure 5 joins Figure 1 in the Y playing field while Figure 6-8 wait in S or T director channels;

Step 18 - Figures 6-8 join after 5 in the Y field;

Step 19 - Figure 4 moves as described in Step 10;

Step 20 - All 3-1 figures. step by step;

Step 21 - Figure 4 proceeds to step 12;

Step 22 - Figures 5-8 join after 4 and go through the sorting channel R to the sorting channel T;

Step 23 - Barrier A moves as described in steps 4 and 5;

Step 24 - Figure 3 proceeds to step 6;

Step 25 - Figures 2-1 follow step 7;

Step 26 - Figure 3 moves down 1 after Y1;

-3181789 η

Step 27 - Figures 4-8 enter the Y field via the Directional Channel S;

Step 28 - Figure 2 moves according to Step 10;

Step 29 - Figure 1 enters the director channel R;

Step 30 - Figure 2 in Y Yield Steps i - - J ^.

This brings us to the task, because the characters are in the proper order, only their T and S channels need to be put into the Y playing field. Like the above, solve the other part of the task and arrange it in the X playing field. When the alignment in the X and Y playing fields is complete, the figures 1-5 are rearranged in the U and V playing fields. First, rearrange the figures 1-5 on the playing field U and then on the playing field V. The sorting on the playing fields U, V will in principle be the same as the order shown on the playing field Y, except that the 0 spaces on the playing fields U and V do not occur and the 1-5 figures belonging to the playing fields U and V on the R and S they move through them so that they are hindered by obstacles D 25 and C.

In the example above, we have solved a problem involving a relatively small number of combination possibilities.

The game of the present invention can also be used to play surprisingly complex games 30 when two players obstruct each other's arrangement task with obstacles and figures. As an example, the type of game that can be played with the structure is that the first player puts his figures on the U and V playing fields, while the other 35 places them on the X and Y playing fields. The first player, having obstacles C and D and his U and V playing fields, sets himself the goal of swapping his U and V playing fields. The second player, with obstacles A and B, has figures placed on the X and Y playing fields and his aim is to swap his X and Y playing figures. The winner is the one who can complete the task first, while his or her opponent blocks the task with his or her figures and obstacles.

This type of game requires players to have the same level of anticipation as chess.

The game can also teach basic computer skills, provided it is produced in four play area embodiments. You can demonstrate how to create various file structures (serial, indexed, and random structures), the technique for accessing records in files with this order, and illustrate the various problems of placing data within each record and accessing the data for use.

When used for educational purposes, the game has to create a special puzzle booklet, which may include tasks such as sliding players around the playing fields to create combinations in the playing field that are serial, indexed and called a random structure layout, this type of task is also difficult to solve.

The toy of the present invention can be economically produced on a large scale using conventional materials (preferably plastics).
