Description

Summary The Game: Without looking, players have to pick the correct "coins" out of a bag by feeling for the shape of the characters. Play begins with two coins. More coins are added each round. The coins represent eighteen of the highest frequency characters in Chinese. Background: When I first started to use some simple CAD software, I found working in 3D space very difficult. After doing a little research it came up that gender may play a role in spatial skills. Whether or not this is true we do know that these skills can be trained and improved upon: http://www.parentingscience.com/spatial-intelligence.html Since some little girls may not be inclined (for whatever reason) towards Lego or building block type toys I decided to look into a ways a spatial element could be piggybacked on the sort of activities they were already doing. For me as a child that was puzzles and memory games so that is where I am starting. This game is my first attempt, it requires the player have a strong mental image, and be able to rotate that image in their mind. It's more an idea I am playing with than a finished project, I hope others are able to build upon and improve it. It is obviously suitable for both boys and girls of all ages, but I think due to the lack of other play incorporating spatial visualization it may be more helpful to girls. All children love a good story, and a well told story makes a game that much more engaging. So here is the story of the origin of Thieves’ Purse: http://sexycyborg.net/Ban_Ji_and_the_Thieves_Purse.html Print Settings Notes: I tried to use bronzefill for these but it turns out Chinese bronzefill (eSun) has no bronze in it- so can't be polished. It's just bronze colored. All the other bronzefill here is imported so a little out of my budget. If you are able to print with it let me know, I think it will look cool. How I Designed This OpenSCAD files are included so you can add additional characters as needed.

When I have free time I like to relax playing gambling. I get not only positive emotions from this hobby, but also have the opportunity to earn money on it. This site <a href="https://casinosanalyzer.co.nz/online-casinos/vegaskingscasino.com">https://casinosanalyzer.co.nz/online-casinos/vegaskingscasino.com</a> helps me in choosing the right platform for gambling. For example, the site vegaskingscasino became my top choice only because I first read the review of this site in detail and realized that it can be trusted. I advise you to start with this site!

Great game. I think you should let your kids play it to develop their brain.

I would like to add the following. Game is a puzzle/memory game where players have to feel the shape of Chinese characters to identify the correct "coins" in a bag. The coins represent eighteen of the highest frequency characters in Chinese, and more coins are added each round. The game was designed as a way to improve spatial visualization skills, especially for girls who may not be inclined towards traditional block-building toys. The idea for the game came from the creator's personal struggle with 3D space in CAD software and a desire to incorporate spatial elements into activities children were already doing. The game is accompanied by a story about the origin of Thieves' Purse and includes OpenSCAD files for adding additional characters. But I like the games on the website https://johnny-kash.casinologin.mobi/ better. There are so many of them here that everyone will find something for themselves. And don't forget about the constant bonuses and promotions.

Hello, Ms. Wu. I am so happy to see you here! This game looks like a viable educational game. I'm new to 3d, but I have to try this one out.
