More about this activity
Color Deducto consists of 10 levels each based on a unique permutation of colors. The user is presented with a 5*5 square board of colored boxes placed in a unique arrangement symbolizing a unique logic engineered for that particular level. The user is asked to identify the logic behind that arrangement of colored boxes. Arrangement of boxes in the board according to the logic refers to “True Board”, while every other arrangement not following the pre-defined logic refers to “False Board”. “SAMPLE” tab helps the user identify the arrangement and deduce logic about “True Board” and “False Board” for the corresponding level in the game. Clicking on the “Resume” tab helps the user switch to and fro between the activity and the samples corresponding to that level.
Submission of an answer as a “Yes” after identifying whether the board is a “True Board” or a “No” in case of a “False Board” changes users’ efficiency to identify permutations correctly. If the user is able to submit five consecutive correct answers, he/she is promoted to the next level.
The user can also design a new Color Deducto game, and ask his/her friends, or students to play the activity created by him/her using “Create your game” feature.
Inspiration
The initial code of Color Deducto was written in Perl by Walter Bender, founder of Sugar Labs, and former Executive Director at MIT Media Labs, for a class he used to teach on color theory at MIT Media Labs.
