Version 1.6 - Powers Update

For almost one and a half year, there weren't any new releases. Though, I implemented plenty of new features and fixed a lot of bugs during this period. And now these updates are finally ready to be published.

NOTICE: Currently, only the .jar-file of this version is available. I'm working hard to try to add the executable file as soon as possible.

Overview

Most importantly to mention are the newly added power exercises which can be configured in the settings. By the way, as we're speaking of the settings: I was finally able to adjust the color of the navigation tabs as I also included the most recent version of the used JavaFX Material Design library. Thereby, the checkboxes etc. look different as well.

Changelog

• Exercises
  • Implemented power exercises
• Settings
  • New graphics overhaul (thanks to the new and improved version of JFoenix)
  • Added feature to edit power exercise options (you can modify minimum and maximum values for bases and for exponents)
• Adjusted design of exercise screen
  • The exercise itself jumps more into the eye

Bugfixes

• #3 Fixed misspelling of "Addition" in the settings menu
• #4 Fixed graphic issues when using multiple different screen sizes (i.e. in a dual screen setup)

Version 1.4 - GUI Update

Version 1.4 is finally here and brings you a GUI update.

Overview

Version 1.3 brought the Material Design by Google to you. Now the usage of the Material Designing Language is improved and expanded.

How you can see, there's now a toolbar and the buttons were changed. While in version 1.3 the start button was a clickable text, it's a big, obvious button with a play icon from the Material Icon Library.
Both of the other buttons are now next to the big play button - not anymore in the bottom left and right corner.

Also the tester screen has now a toolbar like all other screens too. The submit button, which was below the exercise and the input field in v1.3, is now in the top right corner and has become a Material icon. But the functionality is - of course - still the same.

Changelog

• Language
  • French was added as new, third language to select in the settings, but is still in development and not finished. So you would please me if you help me translating via the GitHub Issues.
  • The German and English language files were improved for the new structure of the app. (Some strings were removed, other a little bit changed)
• GUI
  • Each Screen now has a toolbar on the top side with a back to main menu button, a title and sometimes an additional button on the right - for example a save button in the settings.
  • The start button in the main menu now is a big button with only an icon.
  • Replaced FontAwesome-Icons with Material Design Icons
  • Increased the gap of some elements

Version 1.2 - Hello World (of Language) Update

This update brings a lot of new features to the Mental Arithmetic Trainer. These features are explained here!

Overview

The biggest new feature is the multi-language support. In the settings you are now able to select your language (at moment only German and English but more languages are following). This selection affects all textes in the whole app.

I added a new statistic also: the played time. This stat is not the total time you had opened the game but it's the total time you needed for solving the exercises.

And a difficulty factor was added. You can find this factor in the settings. It's the base for a points system following in the next updates.

A little fun-feature are the sounds when you click the submit button in the tester. Explore it for yourself.
