Plainvue Software, Inc. Offers Custom Learning Games for Publishers, Virtual Schools and Digital Texts

ORLANDO, Fla., --- Plainvue Software, Inc., an independent video game studio based in Orlando, is expanding to offer publishers, virtual schools and digital text producers custom design of learning games for late elementary and middle school students.

Plainvue produces the Order of the Abacus™ series of video games available for download at the Apple iTunes Store for iPhone and iPod Touch. The game series is designed to sharpen the math skills of late elementary and middle school students. Recent releases include Fraction's Kitchen™ which reinforces pre-algebra topics, quantities and manipulation of fractions, Chainshooter™ which teaches math orders of operations, and Fortune's Prime™ which teaches prime numbers.

Daniel Roy, chief executive officer of Plainvue Software, Inc., said educators and artists can create custom games, animations and other digital learning media for virtual classrooms and digital textbooks.

The Order of the Abacus™ game series was developed for iPhone and iPod Touch platforms, Roy said. Plainvue has also developed games and prototypes for Adobe Flash player and can rapidly transpose its games to all platforms supported by the Torque game engine.
Plainvue's Order of the Abacus™ series of games explore pre-algebra math concepts through play, in order to gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of the underlying abstract concepts in mathematical thinking, Roy said.

“Digital kids---children raised after the advent of the Internet---identify with virtual representations which interact to achieve specific learning goals. Plainvue's games offer the interactivity and engagement digital kids crave while meeting standards-based learning objectives,” Roy said.
