Comment

Inspiration

Mostly inspired by the game theme combined with the idea of adding educational concepts to target a niche audience of engineers.

What it does

Provides a fun experience and challenges your math skills as if you're able to beat the game your math skills must be excellent.

How we built it

Using Roblox studio, which is a game engine written in the language Lua, and used ChatGPT for some debugging.

Challenges we ran into

Lots of bugs regarding wave mechanics and trying to make that consistent for player experiences Making Local player changes vs global server changes Letting go of some features/ideas because of time constraints UI Bugs regarding updates of some status values

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being able to create an environment that isn't an eyesore as well as programming the enemy's pathfinding for combat.

What we learned

Scaling down some ideas is better in the long run as you don't have a lot of time within a hackathon.

What's next for Blades & Computations

Adding a difficulty feature, extra weapons, and more detailed animations.
