Sorry for not doing much for a while; I've been part of another game project and I'm the only graphic designer and game artist in our team, so I'll be busy for a month or two. Here's some concept and official art for the game, it's a math game based in ancient Egypt which is supposed to be used for educational purpose for children ages between 8-12.
The Power of Algebra in Finding the Missing Digit – Part 1
In mathematics he was greater than Tycho Brahe or Erra Pater.For he, by geometric scale, could take the size of pots of ale.Resolve, by sines and tangents straight, if bread or butter wanted weight;And wisely tell what hour of the day the clock does strike, by Algebra.Samuel Butler
Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols to solve…
I've decided to reach out to tumblr to help me remember the name of an old computer game/software/cd that I used to love when I was in elementary school.
In the early 2000's there was a having software that had a lot of mini games that were math based. What made this game unique was that it had a theme based on paper and paper folding. Every time you click through the menu, the paper would crumble or fold and make paper noise.
There were two modes: Single games, and competitive mode. With competitive mode two people could play different math games and compete for the high score.
Of all the games, the ones I remember most are
(1) A game called "VENN" were you fit different shapes into venn diagrams based on their parts.
(2) A game with dice stacked in 3 different piles. You had to swap them around so that the total dots matched numbers beneath them.
(3) A fraction game where you have to direct a spinning fly swatter using angles to hit a fly sitting on the edge of the circle.
No matter how much I googled and searched, I cannot find this game again. It was an educational game, which is probably why it's not mainstream.
If anyone remembers this and can tell me the name of this game, or some approximation, I would appreciate it.
Kerbal Space Program was once afflicted by a bug the fans dubbed the "Deep Space Kraken", whereby if you travelled far enough from the origin of the game's coordinate system, floating point rounding errors would cause your spacecraft's components to become misaligned and/or clip into each other, resulting in the craft falling apart or exploding for no obvious reason.
The bug was later fixed by defining the active spacecraft itself as the origin of the game's coordinate system. In effect, the spacecraft no longer moves; instead, the spacecraft remains stationary and the entire universe moves around it. Owing to how relativity works, to the player this is indistinguishable from the spacecraft moving about within a fixed coordinate system, and it ensures that the body of the craft and its components will always be modelled with maximal precision.
While elegant, this solution introduced a new problem: it was now possible, by doing certain stupid tricks with relativistic velocities, to introduce floating point rounding errors to everything except the active spacecraft. In extreme cases, this could result in the destruction of the entire observable universe.
Some might call this one of those situations where the solution proves to be worse than the problem. I call it a perfect expression of what Kerbal Space Program is truly about.
A Game Changer episode where the contestants get an hour to teach a complete novice about something they are profoundly passionate and knowledgeable about (Lord of the Rings, Jane Austen, Baseball, etc.) and then Sam asks the novice increasingly difficult questions, and the contestants have to watch them like COME ON WE WENT OVER THIS IT'S EMMA AND MR. KNIGHTLEY!!

I think even funnier than Anakin being a Big War Hero is if he was like. The Temple’s resident tech guy. Cal or Kanan find out who Darth Vader is and they’re like ‘the guy who reset my password???’
we could have mobile games like cool math duck life and papas pizzeria and bloonz tower defense and old masterpieces like original angry birds and jet pack joyride and small online games like webkinz home before dark and polar bear plunge and flash games like holeio and snake and we could have barbie dress up and horse riding and we could have them all without thousands of shitty 2 minute ads and microtransactions and unskippable popups and imbedded app store links and we could have new games new incredible story based adventures, puzzles, well designed mini platformers, we have an entire universe of unexplored medium right here in the palm of your hand! we could have REAL games! real wonderful games not misleading not clickbait we could have everything in the whole wide world and we could have them them on the phone! WE COULD HAVE THEM ON THE PHONE !!!!!!!!!!! DOES IT NOT MAKE YOU SICK???? DOES IT NOT SHATTER YOUR HEART !!!!
