GAME & MEDIA TECHNOLOGY (MSC PROJECTS)
Math Education
Educational mini-games for practicing basic mathematics.
Overview
In this project, my teammate and I developed a library of five small games designed as an educational framework to help children practice common mathematical concepts. Each game focuses on basic math operations in an engaging and interactive way. Players can create an account and log in at any time or choose to play as a guest. The library includes five games: The Farmer, Smart Mario, Reach Quick, Build a Castle, and The Math & The Furious. The demo below showcases three of these games, which I developed independently.
The Farmer
Objective: Recognizing even and odd numbers with quick response time. Description: The player moves a basket left and right to collect only the correct eggs (even or odd, depending on the prompt) as they fall from random positions. The goal is to catch 10 correct eggs without missing more than two.
Smart Mario
Objective: Practicing arithmetic operations, particularly fraction addition. Description: The player climbs a staircase by correctly adding the fractions on consecutive steps (the current step and the next one). After reaching the top, the player collects coins and enters a pipe to complete the level.
Build a Castle
Objective: Performing arithmetic operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Description: The player builds a structure using blocks labeled with numbers and operators. Each puzzle starts with five blocks: three number blocks, an equals block, and a block marked with a question mark. The player must determine the correct operator to complete the equation. If correct, they can select a block and direction (using the arrow keys) to generate a new equation and continue building.
