Android Apps (Java)

 

DeDuce was published on Amazon App Store and Google Play in 2010. It is based on the board game Mastermind which is a code solving game. In the game a code made up of colored pegs behind a blinder is generated and the player guesses at the code by placing pegs in one of several rows on the game board. After each guess has been placed in a row, the game generates results on the accuracy of the guess in form of white and black pegs where white demarks a correct color in an incorrect column and black represents a correct color in a correct column.

The game was coded in Java. It improves upon the board game by its capacity to generate more than 200 game boards varying by number of colors in the code, number of pegs in the code, and the number of rows available to solve the code.

Currently only the free version (with limited variations) is publicly available, on Amazon App Store. The advanced version has just been resubmitted as free app as well. It should be up in Early August, 2024.

 

 

Kwizerati was written in java and was completed in 2020. I have not submitted it to Amazon app Store or Google Play as of yet. It is deployed to a repository called getjar.com. It allows one to create multiple choice test questions on any subject generally as part of a 'question set' with the same subject and store them on the server as well as locally on one's phone.

Users can create multiple choice test questions on any subject generally as part of a 'question set' with the same subject and store them on the server as well as locally on one's phone.

Quizzes or tests can then be created from the test questions they have stored on their phone ('public' question sets by other authers may be downloaded) or that they created on their phone. But question creation is probably more easily accomplished on the kwizerati.com website from which the new questions can be downloaded.

A number of testing attributes are available (timed (durations), not timed, number of questions, etc) for customizing each test or quiz. Once a test or quiz is completed, the user's score along with statistical observations are reported in a results window. There is a review mode so that users can revisit questions they got wrong and read explanations if the author of the question has completed one.

The ultimate hope is that a critical mass of questions will accumulate on the server so that Kwizerati will be a resource for those studying for standardized tests in any discipline even if they don't have time to create their own questions.
