An electronic game piece is illustrated and described. The electronic game piece can include a light, a proximity sensor, and a proximity-sensor target. Activation of the proximity sensor can cause the light to illuminate. The electronic game piece can be configured to light up when arranged with other electronic game pieces. The proximity sensor, for example, can be configured to be activated by a proximity-sensor target substantially identical to the proximity-sensor target of the electronic game piece, but separate from the electronic game piece. In some versions of the electronic game piece illustrated and described, the proximity-sensor target is magnetic and the proximity sensor can be activated by a magnetic field. Separate electronic game pieces can be capable of interlocking, such as interlocking when a top major surface of one electronic game piece is adjacent to a bottom major surface of another electronic game piece.

MEANINGFUL COMBINATION GENERATING LOGIC CUBE

Номер: US20220032171A1
Автор: Bhavsar Harshad
Принадлежит:

A logic cube for teaching, learning, entertainment and motivation is presented. The logic cube has indicia arranged in well-defined orientations including radial symmetry, pairing pattern and triple logic. The pairing pattern helps to generate meaningful combinations for applications involving sets of two (2). The triple logic helps to generate meaningful combinations for applications involving sets of three (3). Radial symmetry helps generate meaningful combinations involving a greater number of indicia. Applying the exclusion logic helps to avoid meaningless or undesirable combinations and ambigrams help to include indicia which can be read in multiple orientations. The invention of logic cube provides a new function which can be applied to numerous areas such as science, arts, food, fashion, motivation and general education and it provides a novel experience as compared to prior art. The invention of logic cube could be applied to other geometric shapes such as tetrahedron (Pyraminx®) and dodecahedron (Megaminx®) and sizes other than 3×3×3. 120-. (canceled)21.

Provided is a system that includes an interactive casing and a GR device. The interactive casing receives a first signal based on activation of a masked electrical switch by release of a magnetic assertion when a lid member of an interactive casing is disengaged from a base member of the interactive casing. A first system state of the interactive casing is converted to a second system state. Audio-visual feedback is generated and a second signal is communicated to the GR device based on the conversion. Based on the received second signal, a first device state of the GR device is converted to a second device state. Power levels of a first power storage device of the interactive casing and a second power storage device of the GR device are maintained during the first system state and the first device state, respectively. 1.

Battlefield chess game

Battlefield Chess (BC) differs from conventional chess (CC). First BC has a number of moves in addition to the moves of CC. For example, the knight in CC can move forward, backward, and sideways in an L-shape, for example, 2 spaces forward and then 1 space right or left. Two other differences are the size of the board [22 by 22 (=484 playing spaces)] for BC, compared to 8 by 8 (=64 playing spaces) for CC], and the number of playing pieces. CC has 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops 1 queen, and 1 king for each of the 2 teams or individuals playing the game. In BC, each side has 22 pawns, 6 rooks, 6 knights, 6 bishops, 3 queens, and 1 king. The larger playing board, more playing pieces, and additional allowed moves make BC much more challenging than CC.
