Yoga Pose Search game

Image
Here is my latest simple web game based on searching a word in jumbled up letters. Your challenge is to search for English names of the yoga poses (asanas) in a grid of letters. This is a fun way to think about the different poses that each asana makes. Just like the Aasanas themselves, the English words, that the pose represents (object), can also be in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, either forward or in in reverse order on the grid. You can solve the #YogaPose search in a letter grid game to learn about 5 Asanas at Link:  https://pd2.github.io/yoga-pose-search/ Please give me your feedback as well as your ideas for a small fun game that I could work on next.

Shiva Sutra puzzle

Shiva Sutra, also known as Akṣara samāmnāya, it refers to a set of 14 aphorisms devised as an arrangement of the sounds of Sanskrit for grammatical exposition by Pāṇini. I developed a web app to make it interesting to learn Shiva sutra. Your challenge is to arrange the tiles,  with either aphorisms or aksharas (alphabets), of this sliding puzzle in the correct order. As a clue you can listen any number of times to an audio clip (from Matheson Trust) reciting the Shiva sutra. In the process of solving it you would implicitly memorize the sutra without realising that you  are, which is the idea behind this game. You can use Devanagari, Kannada, Telugu or Latin based IAST scripts in this challenge. You can share your results the number of moves it took you to solve the sliding puzzle and the initial arrangement of tiles as a matrix of coloured squares. 🟧🟩🟨🟧 🟨🟩🟥🟧 🟧🟥🟩🔴 🟥🟨🟨🟩 Reference : [1] Shiva sutra sliding puzzle  https://pd2.github.io/shiva-sutra/

Yoga jigsaw puzzle

Yoga, the ancient Indian discipline for physical exercise, has many benefits to the body and even one's mind. In this day and age with bulging waistline and sedentary lifestyle, Yoga assumes even more importance for our health and wellbeing. In my attempt to create more interest in Yoga among the newer generation, I created a web app that presents a jigsaw puzzle made out of a yoga pose.  In this game, the image of an Aasana is cut up into 12 tiles and presented on a grid in a random order. The player needs to swap the tiles into the correct order to solve the puzzle. A clue in the form of the equivalent English name of the pose is also shown. Upon solving the jigsaw, the player is presented with details of that particular Aasana like level of yogi / yogini to practise this, and few benefits of doing the Aasana. Here is the link to the web app: https://pd2.github.io/yoga-jigsaw/ Do you find it interesting to play and learn more about the various Aasanas? Please give me feedback on ...
