Tilomino Version 1
Inspired by the award-winning
Tarski's World
by Jon Barwise and John Etchemendy
A world is presented consisting of objects of three different shapes
of three different sizes. Each shape is placed on a grid. Logical questions
can be asked of the world using boolean operators, quantifiers and
a number of functions. A result of either true or false is presented.
Several worlds are provided to use.
There are two ways to view and use Tilomino:
- Single Screen
The world appears on the left side of the display. Help is provided
on a separate page.
- Frames
The left side of the display contains the world and the right side
contains help.
We are in the process of updating Tilomino.
In the meantime, here are the systems that it runs on:
- Internet Explorer 5.5 running on Windows 98
- Netscape 4.51 running on Windows 98
- Internet Explorer 6.0 running on Windows 2000 Professional
If Tilomino does not work on your setup, here are a few things to try:
- Try both the frames and non-frames version.
- Clear your Java cache and reboot your system.
- Try a different, preferably older, browser.
- Try a different system which has one of the known configurations above.
If not, you can try
Tilomino Version 2
which has a more clunky user interface and no tutorial but works on more
platforms. You can use the tutorial for version 1 to learn version 2.
If after all this, you still can't get anything working, you can take a
look at
snapshots of the Tilomino worlds.
