Bagatur Chess Engine vs Tux Math
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Bagatur Chess Engine
This is the open source Bagatur Chess Engine with its own GUI (graphical user interface). It is not as strong as Stockfish, Komodo, AlphaZero or Leela Chess Zero, but is strong enough to beat a grandmaster. It has 16 strength levels. From level 5, it could show the search information. The ELO rating is about 3000 and the program has a unique playing style. In general, the application demonstrates an application of artificial intelligence (AI) into the domain of chess. To clarify, it is not an OEX chess engine and other chess engines cannot be imported into the GUI. Playing instructions: Check the menu and make sure the strength level is appropriate. Select/deselect the Human/Computer buttons for both sides according to which side you want to play and whether you play against a computer or another person. Use the flip board button to change sides if you play with black. Move the piece by drag and drop or by selecting from/to squares. If you want, you could use the move navigation buttons to go back and forward in the move sequence. It is recommended to check all settings in the menu and make sure you play with the option you like most (e.g. move animation speed, chess pieces set, colors). Features: FEN import/export/share. Different modes: Human-Human, Human-Bagatur, Bagatur-Bagatur. Different strengths levels. The app could show the best moves line as well as the evaluation of the board position produced by Bagatur. Navigation of played move's (first, previous, next, last). Flipboard function. Moving by drag and drop as well as by selecting from and to squares. Supports different color palettes and chess pieces sets for different tastes. Permissions: The app uses ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and INTERNET permsisions, because it shows home ads and they open the default browser on the device, going to one of our other apps' page on the store or on the website of Metatrans Apps. To be more precise, if the other app is available on the store, from which the app is downloaded, then opens the app page of the other app on the same store. If still the app is not available on the store, then opens the app page on our website. The app pages on our website have app demo video on YouTube, so a connection to youtube domain will also be listed in order to visualize the page in the browser. Our website is created by WordPress, so connections to other domains could be opened as well for technical purposes (e.g. downloading text fonts css). Your feedback and/or review is more than welcome.
Tux Math
A bunch of asteroids are falling on the city and only you can stop them. Armed with a laser cannon, you will have to correctly perform the calculations indicated on the asteroids in order to be able to aim them correctly and destroy them. The game has many levels of difficulty, allowing you to train with additions, subtractions, multiplications, divisions and finally relative numbers. It will be perfect for schoolchildren who have to revise their tables, as well as adults who would like to challenge themselves with more difficult calculations. This game is a rewrite for android of the famous free software TuxMath, a very popular educational software for PC. Just like the original game, it's totally open source and free (AGPL v3 license), and without any advertising. This new version of TuxMath brings some new features: * The "auto level" option: when this option is activated, the game will automatically switch to another level if the player has too much ease or too much difficulty with the operations that he must solve. * Added levels with operations involving 3 numbers or more. * A penalty (igloo destroyed) in case of too many wrong answers (To discourage the strategy of trying all possible answers). * Possibility to play with 3 graphic themes: "Classic", "Original" and "Afrikalan".
