15-puzzle MagicSquare game (v. 1.6)

Heuristic опубликовал приложение 2012-12-12
(обновлено 2012-12-12)

This is a Math game that consists of several magic-square games. Chinese GO game is a typical example of magic-square games. A 19x19 board can come up with extremely complicated games that no computer software can simulate so far. Western Chess is another magic-square game. N-Queen presented by YPK Android Software here is also a magic-square game. GO, Chess and those complicated games are NOT explored in this software: simply too complicated.
(FYI: Dr. Hsu of IBM developed software (and hardware indeed) called "Deep Thought", which indeed beat a chess world champion.)

This App is a collection of several magic-square games. The first one is an Ancient Chinese Math game.

Have you ever thought about why they didn't use general rectangle with different height and width? This is NOT explored in this game, :-).

AList (v. 1.3)

Heuristic опубликовал приложение 2012-12-06
(обновлено 2012-12-06)

The idea of this app comes from former US President Clinton's autobiography, My Life. He stated in his book: [When I was a young man just out of law school and eager to get on with my life, on a whim I briefly put aside my reading preference for fiction and history and bought one of those how-to books:
How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life, by Alan Lakein.]
This is a database application implements the idea of A-List mentioned in President Clinton's book, My Life.
Since it's a database application using SQLite, it's highly relied on file systems on Android. If you encounter problem(s), it mostly comes from the database file used in this application. So, please remember to back up your database to an external SD card.
This program is based on a successful US President's story. Just the Long-term AList is a very helpful tool for everyone's life. One needs to have some goals in mind, then fulfill the goals.
If you like the program and find a problem, please email me the problem (and steps to reproduce it); otherwise, please do me a favor - don't just post an error log. Your co-operation is appreciated.
Since SQLite is only a one-file database, it can not be large, and should not be large. Also, even users could "touch" this file, it might be corrupted by misuse or accidents. If you encounter any problem, please do NOT get "panic", just to restore your backup back to the application. This program can NOT load your database if you uninstall the program and re-install it. If this happens, just remember to restore your backup.

SORRY. No progress on this app. The major reason to present this app is to introduce President Clinton's way in success and his kindness to share his ideas with young people.
YPK software's major interest is in Math (games) development. If there are enough interests (users) and requests (demands) from Android users, then YPK software might consider further development of this little app. BUT, this does not exclude the possibility for new development.
Once again, several major long-term alists might change your life dramatically.
Cheers and have fun!

Every Day Math (En) (v. 1.18)

Heuristic опубликовал приложение 2012-12-03
(обновлено 2012-12-03)

This is a software to do math that's used daily. Currently, this software includes popular unit conversions such as length/distance units, weight/mass units, area units, capacity/volume units and temperature F/C conversions. A simple health index BMI computation is also included.
There is one corresponding Chinese version.

Come join YPK Android Software on FaceBook. Any positive suggestions are welcomed. I mostly will post updates of the program on this FB page.
If you like the program, please tell others. If you find a bug or problem, please let me know: don't just post an error here. That's nicer. thx.

1.10 add (sqlite)database capabilities. It can help you record your personal (math) data, such as such as: personal health index/info and credit card monthly payment, autoloan, mortgage, student loans, personal loans, etc. Also, little numbers such as state tax rates, loan rates, etc.
1.13 Now, you can add MathNote(s). It indeed can be a Note Database for any text; here, Math related note is best suited (for this App).
1.14 Fixed a bug in BackUp/Restore. Search functions are important, but the implementation will be delayed until users' demands. Users probably can just use 10 notes to handle daily notes.

Tower of Hanoi (v. 1.5)

A Java program that simulates the moving of discs in the Tower of Hanoi game.

Someone points out that there is an error in accepting non-numeric input.
BUG fixed.

World Univ Ranking (v. 1.16)

Heuristic опубликовал приложение 2012-10-05
(обновлено 2012-10-05)

This is a Java program using SQLite database to display World University Rankings. At this moment, British QS World University Ranking is used. SQLite database is a very simple database that consists of only one file, so many basic database operations/functions are not supported. Also, Android uses a virtual environment to store the database file, so you have to copy your local database file to the virutal environment. Of course, this is done in the program.
Other world university rankings such as ARWU by Shanghai JiaoTung University and British THE (Times Higher Education) will be included later.
Android does not provide a simple grid-style data displaying mechanism to display tabular data. This will be improved later if necessary.
This is a FREE software, so pleae don't expect too much.
Cheers and have fun!

btw, I temporarily used QS's image as the program's icon. It will be replaced later. I have no relationship to QS either.
QS2011's Life Science/Medicine Ranking list has been added into the program in version 1.2. This version 1.3 added QS2011's Material Science Ranking list. Other 2011 Ranking list will be added later.

If you report an error, please provide steps for developer to try reproducing the error.
I'll wait for 2 weeks. If no additional info is received, then this will be consdiered resolved and will be closed.
This is a FREE software, and it will be provided as is. I'll be happy to fix the bug if I can reproduce it; unfortunately, I can't reproduce.
If you don't want to use this program, please don't submit error report. If you want to use this program, please email me the steps to reproduce the error. Thanks.
1.0 only provides 2010 QS WUR.
1.1 provides 2011 Life/Med WUR.
1.2 provides 2011 Material Science WUR.
1.4 2011 Computer Science/Information Systems WUR added.
1.5 added 2011 EE WUR.
1.6 added 2011QS OR & Statistics WUR
1.8 added THE 2010 WUR

Every Day Math (每天的數學) (v. 1.17)

Heuristic опубликовал приложение 2012-09-09
(обновлено 2012-09-09)

每天的數學(Every Day Math)提供了常見的單位換算及健康指數BMI。提供了長度、重量、面積、容量和溫度的換算功能。也有健康指數的功能：目前只有BMI的計算。如果你在輸入資料有錯時，程式一律用預設值；長度、重量、面積、容量的預設值均為1。溫度的預設值，0度。同樣地，BMI的預設值：身高是1.7公尺、體重是62公斤。輸入資料有錯，也是回歸預設值。注意：身高的單位是公尺，不是公分。
這個程式會陸續的修改，增加新的功能。也會有英文版。
最新更新版已增加了下列單位(換算)：
坪換分、甲換分(1甲地等於10分地)
坪換平方英呎
黃金英制單位與臺制單位、公制單位的換算
長短噸

中文版大致和英文版有類似的畫面和使用介面。雖然大多只是把string.xml的英文字換成中文字，但是有兩個原因使得轉換有點麻煩：(1)中英文字長短不同；(2)有時我想在中文字中加上英文單位的縮寫。

你如果喜歡，請告訴你的朋友。你如果有問題請來信。請勿直接在Android市場PO問題。Cheers and have fun!

1.12 在1.11忘了把資料庫寫到SD的功能加回去。所以1.10的資料庫備存功能沒了。Android要開發者一定要設定寫到SD的功能才能寫到SD。
增加簡化的貸款計算功能。
1.11 增加AutoLoan。
1.10 增加了資料庫的功能，目的在提供使用者記錄重要數據的功能。SQLite不是一個真正完備的資料庫。YPK Software希望Android能提升到使用(至少)MySQL。而且不能要把檔案抄來抄去。

N-Queen / 8-Queen (v. 1.8)

Heuristic опубликовал приложение 2012-08-08
(обновлено 2012-08-08)

This is a Java implementation of Classical 8-queen problem proposed by Gauss, C.F.
Three presentations are provided in this implementation (4 to 16 queens are supported in this program) -
1. Solution only: This is because the moving of the backtracking takes a lot of time, so the brief solutions are provided instead.
2. The backtracking version of the program. This shows the moving of the backtracking process.
3. 5 queens to be placed on an 8x8 board so that no two queens attack each other, and no extra new queens could be placed on board.

Update history -
1.4 use 12-key numeric keypad to enter numbers.
1.3 made some changes on the input interface.
1.2 add unique solutions to 5 queens on 8x8 board.
1.1 add 5 queens on 8x8 chess board - distinct solutions.
1.0 initial version - 4-16 queens problems.

A Math Game (v. 1.0)

Heuristic опубликовал приложение 2012-07-09
(обновлено 2012-07-09)

This is a combinatorial math game written in Java. This game uses Poker Cards to illustrate the combinations and permutations of a combinatorial problem.
This is indeed more an educational program developed to explain solutions to a combinatiorial problem. It is good for high school students to learn how a combinatorial problem is solved. It's also good for any people who is interested in solving math problems.
