Rainbow Circles is an Android mobile application for supporting relaxation and emotional regulation for children. In Rainbow Circles, children can interact with circles of different colours and sizes through the touch screen. The main goal is to encourage a playful discovery of the game. There is no set task to complete, no right or wrong answers and no score. Rainbow Circles does not have a time limit, the child can play for as long as he/she wants.Part of a student project, the game was designed for young children with Auti (3-6 years). However, the game can also be used by older children and even adults. After the game is loaded, the child can choose to play with:* one circle version* three circles version or* five circles version (all versions have the same circle behaviour). Every time the game is loaded, the circles have different colours, sizes and movements. During the game, the circles are always moving along the screen to offer continuity, like a screensaver. The childcan also interact with the circles in many playful ways (presented below):**How to play?** Action EffectLong press on circle -> Circle size toggles between getting bigger or getting allerDrag circle on screen -> Circle gets highlightedPlace one circle over other circle(s) -> Circles get joined and display a 2sec colour effect Double-click on joined circles -> One circle at a time is pulled from the joined circlesClick on circle while on top of the rainbow -> Circle's colour changes randomly*Any touch screen action has the same effect, both on a single circle and on a set of intersected circles.Supports any Android phone from Android 2.2.
