Flipping

Flipping is an accessible picture-puzzle game designed for visual assessment and
visual training, with a special focus on children and adults who have low
vision, cerebral or cortical visual impairment (CVI), or other special
educational needs.

A picture is divided into a grid and one or more cells are flipped upside-down
or mirrored. The player spots the "wrong" cell and taps it to flip it back,
rebuilding the whole image. When every cell is restored, a fun animation
celebrates the success.

The game is built around three principles that make it useful both as a
visual-skills workout and as an assessment tool:

• LARGE, HIGH-CONTRAST IMAGES — Every picture fills the screen. Bold colours,
clean outlines and clearly recognisable subjects (animals, vehicles, flowers,
shapes and patterns) give low-vision users something obvious to look at and
react to. There are no distracting backgrounds.

• GRADED DIFFICULTY — Three levels let you match the task to the learner's
current ability:
– Level 1: a 2×2 grid with a single flipped cell (easiest).
– Level 2: a 3×3 grid with two flipped cells.
– Level 3: a 4×4 grid with three flipped cells.
The simple progression makes Flipping useful for tracking visual
discrimination skills over time.

• FULL ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS — Use touch, a single switch (auto-scan), or two
switches. Turn sound on or off, adjust the volume, add a settle-time delay
between puzzles so the learner can take in each completed picture, and set
the auto-scan speed to suit the user.

Nine activity categories are built in: Animals, Mix, Transport, Animals Full,
Mix Full, Transport Full, Pattern, Colour and Shape. Each category has its own
set of reward animations to celebrate success.

Flipping also supports using your OWN pictures — tap the camera button to load
family photos or any image from the device, so the activity can be personal
and motivating. This makes it easy for teachers, therapists and parents to
create material tailored to a specific learner.

Flipping is landscape-only on both iPhone and iPad, so the picture fills the
whole screen for maximum visual impact.
