These free logic puzzles for Windows, created by Gerald Holler, are a great delight. I used the built-in puzzle editor to create about 40 puzzles that are simplified -- which make the puzzles more accessible to elementary school students and others who are new to puzzle solving.<br /><br />This 6-minute <a href = "http://www.writersforliteracy.org/simplesokomindtour.mov">combo screencast video</a> explains about these logic puzzles. The file size of the video is about 90 megabytes. I created this video using Camtasia Studio (on Windows) and QuickTime Pro (on my G3 iBook.) <br /><br />The <a href = "http://sokomind.de">SokoMind</a> logic puzzles run under Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. This software would be very nice to install on refurbished computers. Note - when running SokoMind under Windows 2000, you will not be able to quit (exit) the software without pressing Control-Alt-Delete.<br /><br />If you have comments or useful tips to include on this blog, kindly send them to me via email with the subject Simple Sokomind. <a href = "http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/pshapiro">Phil Shapiro</a>, pshapiro@his.com<br /><br /><br /><br />A related project I've been working on is a <a href = "http://numbersquares.blogspot.com">blog and combo screencast video</a> of the Number Squares logic puzzles I designed for Apple II computers back in 1989.<br /><br /><br />And here are some thoughts of mine on <a href = "http://www.his.com/~pshapiro/designing.html">Designing Educational Software.</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19689828-113404953898347619?l=simplesokomind.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Phil Shapirohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16051999512417898279noreply@blogger.com0
