Patent ID: 8876585

Claim:
An electronic puzzle device comprising: a playfield that includes a plurality of playing positions, each of said playing positions includes at least a first indicator and a second indicator, and each of said indicators has a plurality of indicating states, wherein each indicating state corresponds to a visual indication, wherein the indicators at a playing position can be activated to provide a plurality of concurrent visual indications at said playing position, and wherein an objective is to achieve a predefined pattern of visual indications at the playfield, a plurality of switches to enable a player to interact with the electronic puzzle device, and a microprocessor with a computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program logic to control the operation of the electronic puzzle device, wherein the microprocessor is configured to include: computer program logic that provides a plurality of geometric patterns on the playfield, wherein each geometric pattern includes a plurality of playing positions, and upon the activation of one of the plurality of switches, computer program logic to execute a first algorithm that causes one indicator of at least one playing position in the associated geometric pattern to change state, and to execute at least a second algorithm that causes a different indicator of at least one other playing position in said geometric pattern to change state.
