Modulus Released on Android Market
Online, February 3, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Tabus Nine Computing (http://www.tabusnine.com), a mobile application developer for the Android operating system, has announced a new android mobile application in their education series. The mobile application, "Modulus", is a mental math puzzle game specifically designed to educate math through a challenging set of arithmetic puzzles.
"Modulus was distributed with a free and paid version" said Austin Mueller and Ben Oztalay, co-owners of Tabus Nine. "The full version has 120 math puzzles and will continually be expanded. The free version, Modulus Lite, retains all of the functionality of the paid version, but is ad supported."
In each puzzle there is a target number and your starting number. The objective is to make your starting number equal the target number. To achieve this, there are six buttons that each performs a math operation. Each button has a value, which is how much the button will affect your number. Less information about the buttons is given to the player in higher difficulty settings.
Modulus has three game modes: Puzzle, Challenge, and Free Play. In Challenge mode, there's a limit on the number of moves you can make. There are twenty puzzles for each of the three difficulty modes, giving you 120 to solve in total, between the Puzzle and Challenge Modes. Free Play randomly generates games, so that the user isn't limited to the pre-loaded puzzles.
Users will find that their mental math skills sharpen as they play Modulus through its increasing difficulty settings, as the amount of information the user needs to hold in his or her head in order to solve the puzzle increases.
Tabus Nine Computing plans on adding more puzzles to their challenging Modulus mental math game as they expand their educational mobile application series. A Game of Life live wallpaper for your android device is also available from Tabus Nine Computing. Both can be found on their website at http://www.tabusnine.com/android-apps
