Description

The invention relates to logical games with flat game elements and can be used to develop logical thinking and spatial imagination in children of different ages.

There are many logical games and puzzles containing flat game elements whose contours coincide with the edges of a given grid. Using grids, you can simply and accurately set parameters for a large number of flat game elements. Mathematical grids have three main elements: cell, node, edge. Grids whose cells have the shape of a regular polygon are called regular. Game sets developed on their basis are described in detail in the book Golomb S.V. "Polimino", M., 1975, ed. "Peace". They are used in well-known games (SU 1161126 A63F 9/10 and SU 1417903 A63F 9/10).

Grids whose cells have a congruent shape (equal to area, size, and shape) are called regular. The most popular Chinese puzzle "Tangram" (first publication 1813) also has at its core a regular grid with a cell in the shape of an isosceles right-angled triangle. It is used in the famous game (US, 6145837 A63F 9/12, 273 / 157R, 14-11-2000),

A known game in which the contours of the game elements coincide with the edges of the grid, the cells of which are in the form of a rhombus (US, 6357747 A63F 9/10, 273 / 157R, 19-03-2002).

A well-known game containing 18 game elements whose contours coincide with the edges of the grid, the cells of which have the shape of an isosceles right triangle (US, 4773649 A63F 9/10, 273 / 157R, 27-09-1988). In this game, the author suggests removing any game element from the set and making a square out of the remaining elements. The result is that we are dealing with several sets.

A similar game, which is the closest technical solution to the claimed invention, differs from the previous grid cell shape (rhombus), the number of game elements (48 pieces) and the fact that game tags are applied to the surface of game elements (US, 4063736 A63F 9/10, 273 / 157R, 20-12-1977). The disadvantage of this puzzle is the large number of details, which reduces its amusement.

The first task to which the invention is directed is to, without increasing the number of game elements, increase the expressiveness of the silhouettes of figures made up of these elements; the second task is to get the greatest number of puzzles from the least number of game elements.

The objectives are achieved as follows: firstly, to develop a set of game elements, not one grid is selected, but at least two that overlap one another; secondly, not one set is taken, but at least two, where game elements can be rearranged from one set to another.

As a result, having two game sets, we get 33 puzzles. Such a number of puzzles makes it possible to pose a new task: to find the puzzle from which this figure is composed. And a different number of game elements in puzzles (from 4 to 12 pieces) makes it possible to offer tasks with a large range of complexity. This factor is important for the development of logical thinking in children.

For the first example of the use of this invention, we take a mesh A (Fig. 1), the cells of which have the shape of a right-angled triangle with the ratio of legs, as one to two. The second grid B (FIG. 2) has square cells. Connect these grids together and get a mesh C (Fig. 3), and add four straight lines. Figure 4 shows the grid D, which has cells in the form of an isosceles right triangle. Connect this grid to grid A and get grid E (Fig. 5) and complement it with two circles. 6 shows a grid F, which has diamond shaped cells with a diagonal ratio of one to two. Connect this mesh to mesh A and get mesh G (Fig. 7).

We have three types of game elements: the first (1) is developed based on the first grid A, the second (2) based on the grid D, the third (3) based on the grids C, E, G. Using game elements of the third type (3) it becomes possible to include game elements of the first (1) and second (2) types in one set. From the game elements make up a set of A1 (Fig. 8) and A2 (Fig. 9).

From the game elements of these first sets, we can add 33 puzzles instead of the two given, shifting game elements from one set to another. For example, FIG. 15 shows 12 possible variations. Kits for ease of use are placed in a box with two covers (4), each set separately (Fig. 12). Game elements can be made of various materials: wood, plywood, cardboard, plastic, ceramics, etc.

On Fig shows the silhouettes made up of sets A1 and A2.

If we add two more to these two sets - A3 and A4 (Fig. 10 and Fig. 11), then we will have the opportunity to collect at least 300 variants of puzzles. The number of sets can be increased due to game elements of the set A5 shown in Fig. 13. When adding circles to the grid, we get game elements with curved sides (sets A6 and A7 (Fig. 14). All sets from A1 to A6 constitute a single game complex, although each set can be used separately.

The invention is intended to develop a self-developing online game in which the user acts not only as a puzzle solver, but as the creator of game sets and the compiler of new tasks and figures that are entered into the game database under his name. Only in an online game the invention can be used in full.

The second example of the use of this invention. As a basis, we take a curved grid H (Fig. 17) formed by circles whose centers are located at the nodes of a regular triangular grid, and with radii equal to the length of the edge R of this grid. The second grid I (Fig. 18), differs from the first value of the radii of the circles, which are equal to RV3. On Fig shows a third grid J, which is obtained by superimposing the first on the second. Using the third grid J, we will create the following game elements and make up sets of them: O1 (Fig. 20) and O2 (Fig. 21), O3 (Fig. 22) and O4 (Fig. 23). The game elements shown in FIG. 24 and FIG. 25 will be explained later. On Fig shows the silhouettes made up of a set of O1-O4. Game elements of the O1 and O2 sets can be painted in different colors on both sides to create figures of flowers and butterflies.

Sets can have not only the shape of a circle, but also many other beautiful shapes (Fig. 27) and (Fig. 28).

We supplement the grid J with circles with radii equal to R2 and R3, and we obtain the grid K (Fig. 29); and on its basis we will build additional game elements having contours of curves with different radii, which allows you to assemble puzzles in the form of an ellipse (Fig. 31), (Fig. 32), (Fig. 33), (Fig. 34), tomato (Fig. .35); snails (Fig. 36), eggs (Fig. 37), as well as paired sets O5 (Fig. 40) and O6 (Fig. 41). From the game elements of the sets O5 and O6, the puzzle "Cut apple" is composed (Fig. 42). On Fig shows the silhouettes made of the elements of this puzzle.

Game marks (5) are applied to the surface of the game elements (Fig. 38). Game elements can be grouped by game label located in the center. Inside the group, the elements differ from each other in shape and in the number of different game tags, (Fig. 39). When assembling a given figure, you must fulfill the condition: the contacting sides of the game elements must have the same label.

The complete set includes 10 different game elements of the first type (5), created on the basis of the mesh H (Fig. 20, Fig. 24 and Fig. 25), a 21n game element of the second type (6) based on the mesh J (Fig. .21, FIG. 22, FIG. 23, FIG. 24,) and the 4th game (7) element based on the grid K (FIG. 30). It will not be difficult to fill out the forms shown in Figs. 27-28 and in Figs. 31-37 with these game elements.

The third example. The first grid L has cells of the shape of a regular triangle (Fig. 44), the second grid M - cells of the shape of a right triangle with the ratio of the leg to hypotenuse, as one to two (Fig. 45); we connect the grids L and M and get the third N (Fig. 46) and supplement it with circles (Fig. 47). Based on it, we create three types of game elements: the first is shown in Fig. 48, the second in Fig. 49 and the third in Fig. 50. From these game elements we can collect a large number of sets in the form of a hexagon, circle, rhombus, ellipse. On Fig shows a set of S1, in Fig. 52 - a set of S2, in Fig. 53 - S3, in Fig. 54 - a set of S4.

Game elements marked with dots have an absolute novelty.

On Fig-57 shows various options for combined grids.
