Czytniki PocketBook, jak to czytniki książek, projektowane są głównie do czytania. Ale miewają też inne funkcje, jak choćby słuchanie audiobooków. Znajdziemy w nich także zainstalowane gry: pasjans, sudoku oraz szachy. Można też samodzielnie rozszerzyć funkcjonalność PocketBooków. W sieci dostępne są różnorodne aplikacje, które można wgrać samodzielnie. Chyba najpopularniejszą jest KOReader dający użytkownikowi duże możliwości modyfikacji sposobu wyświetlania tekstu e-booków. Więcej na jego temat znajdziecie we wpisie „KOReader dla CZYTNIKÓW PocketBook ROZSZERZA możliwości”. Ale są i bardzie rozrywkowe opcje. Na przykład kilka lat temu pisałem m.in. o grze Mahjong („Gra MADŻONG dla CZYTNIKÓW PocketBook”).

Pakiet łamigłówek SGTPuzzles testowałem na czytniku PocketBook Era z najnowszą wersją oprogramowania wewnętrznego

Tym razem proponuję coś dla osób lubiących łamigłówki. Aplikacja SGTPuzzles to czytnikowa wersja pakietu gier logicznych, który dostępny jest bezpłatnie także na inne platformy sprzętowe i systemowe jako „Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection”. W skład zestawu wchodzą 52 dość podobne do siebie łamigłówki. Różnią się trochę rozwiązaniami graficznymi, ale generalnie ich idea jest bardzo zbliżona do znanego chyba wszystkim windowsowego „Sapera”.

Instalacja

Instalację wykonujemy na własną odpowiedzialność. Nie powinna być ryzykowna. Ja testowałem na czytniku PocketBook Era z oprogramowaniem wewnętrznym w wersji 6.7.949. Aplikacja działała stabilnie. Tak samo powinno być z innymi bieżącymi modelami. Według informacji na stronie projektu, gry będą działać z:

PB632 – PocketBook Touch HD 3;

PB631 – PocketBook Touch HD / Touch HD 2;

PB740 – PocketBook InkPad 3;

PB633 - Pocketbook Color;

PB1040 – PocketBook InkPad X;

PB626 – PocketBook Touch Lux 3;

PB628 – PocketBook Touch Lux 5.

Aby zainstalować gry, czytnik należy podłączyć kablem USB z komputerem. Pobrany wcześniej plik SGTPuzzles.app (ok. 1,6 MB) należy skopiować do katalogu „applications” znajdującego się w pamięci czytnika. Następnie trzeba bezpiecznie wysunąć czytnik i najlepiej go zrestartować. Ikonka opisana jako @SGTPuzzles powinna być od tego momentu widoczna w sekcji „Użytkownika” okna „Aplikacje”.

Plik można pobrać ze strony projektu. Najnowsza wersja dostępna jest tutaj: https://github.com/SteffenBauer/PocketPuzzles/blob/master/release/stable/SGTPuzzles.app

Uruchamianie

Wybranie ikony @SGTPuzzles ładuje cały zestaw gier, które są podzielone na trzy ekrany. Każdą łamigłówkę uruchamia się osobno z tego zestawienia.

Zestaw łamigłówek, na który składa się trzy ekrany różnych mini gier (ekran po prawej), uruchamia się z menu Aplikacji (ekran po lewej)

Wszystkie gry mają ujednolicone menu, na przykład szachownica w prawym górnym rogu ekranu zawiera odesłanie do reguł danej planszy (menu: ? How to play). Większość gier można modyfikować pod kątem trudności i wielkości planszy (ikonka ze strzałkami w prawym górnym rogu ekranu).

Menu gier (wywoływane ikoną szachownicy) jest ujednolicone (ekran po lewej), a pozycja „? How to play” wyświetla krótkie wyjaśnienie zasad gry (ekran po prawej)

Wyjście do listy wszystkich gier możliwe jest przez strzałkę w lewym górnym rogu ekranu lub przyciskiem Home (do ekranu głównego czytnika). Wszystko jest raczej intuicyjne, ale przyda się znajomość angielskiego do wczytania się w reguły.

Standardowe ustawienia gier (ekran po lewej) można modyfikować (ekran środkowy) pod kątem trudności i rozmiaru planszy (ekran po prawej)

Podsumowanie

Sam nie korzystam z czytnika do grania. Choć przyznam, że zdarza mi się raz na jakiś czas uruchomić pasjansa. No cóż, kiedyś grywałem w niego w MS Windows 3.0. Więc pomyślałem, że może komuś łamigłówki także się przydadzą...

Wow. So this was not interesting at all. I finished this morning and was bored senseless. There are elements that remind me a bit of the "The Tokyo Zodiac Murders" with the author throwing down a gauntlet asking the reader to solve, but I had no idea who did it and the resolution at the end was way too "talky." It didn't help that the author, Alice Arisugawa, put himself in this book as a character. Way too surreal for me and I just got glad to be done with it. 

"The Maoi Island Puzzle" follows three students (Alice, Maria, and Jiro) from Eito University that travel to a remote island that is populated by moai statues. Alice and Jiro are hoping to solve a puzzle that leads to treasure that was left by Maria's grandfather. However, two murders happen almost right away and are then followed by other murders. 

Alice is a main character in this book and is part of his university's mystery club. This was brought up in "The Decagon House Murders" with Japanese students putting together mystery clubs that read and discussed British golden age mystery novelists like Christie, Doyle, and others. Alice isn't developed very well. He really is there just to be a Watson to a character who is pretty much the Holmes (Jiro) who needs Alice around to tell him how he is wrong about aspects of the murders. I don't know why I can read Sherlock Holmes novels and not get annoyed by this, but this was just aggravating to read. Alice being a Watson just didn't work for me. 

The other members of the club who appear in this one are a student named Maria and then another member named Jiro. Maria is the one that invites the members to the island since her family has a villa there.  I can't say much about either of them, because they are not developed very well. 

The writing wasn't that great and the dialogue was very stilted I found. I am sure part of this is a translation issue. The writing just felt very fake at times. I also have to say I guessed the murder right away because there was no way it could be anyone else. There are some maps that are included, but I just didn't even care at that point. The flow was awful because the author chose to focus on details that didn't really matter. I was just so bored.

I usually like locked room mysteries but this was just not my favorite. 

Parking has always been an issue in all countries. Due to overpopulation, the parking system has actually taken a toll on the people and has created a problem for the people when they wish to travel. There are various smart parking systems in Canada which have been coming up.
