reflection #4

             This week I downloaded a free koi koi Hanafuda app that is available on the android market. When you first open the app you have to tap to go to the main menu. There are four buttons on the main menu which is Battle, Results, Settings, and Help.

 The Battle page has 6 samurai that you have to beat in order. What I think is cool about this is that each of the samurai opponents were warriors or leaders in japan. For visuals they put paintings of each each one and their family crest or Mon. I know this crest is called a mon because our family has our own mon that has been passed down through a couple of generations. I don’t know the details of my family crest so I will look into it and give an update next week. As for the difficulty of each opponent it wasn’t that hard to beat them even if you are a beginner. Also on this page there is a blue tooth option so you can connect to other people with the same app. For the results button it shows the statistics of all the games you have played against the 6 samurai which include the number of battles, wins, losses, and average. The settings just give you options to turn on/off some point options in the game, sound, and rounds. The help button briefly explains what the point of hanafuda is, gives the yaku combinations, the opponents in the game, and how to quit the game. I beat the game rather quickly but its good practice for beginners.
