Equatio

Wordle but for Mathematicians (Good or not good at math it is fine). Instead of letters, we use numbers and operators. Guess the secret equation by making an equation resulting to the target. WIN!

Inspiration

This game was inspired from a YouTube tutorial on how to make a clone of the Wordle game. The programmers explored how to change guessing words into guessing equations by reading and trying out what they learned from the Internet. They were also inspired from their love for mathematics, which is why Equatio was born.

What it does

Equatio is a Wordle-inspired game that challenges players to find the correct mathematical equation used to obtain the target whole number stated in the website.

How we built it

It is a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. HTML served as the starter language since the programmers linked the CSS and JavaScript file to the HTML file. CSS was crucial for most of the design that the website encompasses. JavaScript on the other hand did most of the technical process from being able to press the integer and operation buttons to evaluating the condition of the player’s guesses. The programmers decided on making the guessing portion 7 columns and 7 rows for more chances of winning. Beside the 7 columns are two more columns consisting of an equal sign and the evaluated answer for the equation they guessed, making it a total of 9 columns and 7 rows.

Challenges we ran into

The hardest part for this project was actually figuring out how to work the buttons for the integers and operation symbols. It was tedious process of trial and error, but the programmers thankfully figured it out in the end.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The programmers also tried to plug in some features like being able to see the player’s high score (winning with lesser guesses). Moreover, they also tried showing how many tries and wins the player has experienced, as well as choosing the difficulty mode they want to try. Being able to know how to even code these makes their hearts so fulfilled.

What we learned

The programmers learned that it's not easy to finish a project without discipline, dedication, and teamwork. They really tried to connect with each other, despite having different perspectives about the game. In the end, they met in the middle and created a wonderful project.

What's next for Equatio

All in all, it is an interactive game that exercises a player's brain by thinking of the correct generated solution for the given answer (a.k.a. the target number). This is a great concept to try not just for players but also for beginner programmers who want to take on a more challenging path. For future programmers who want to innovate this project, we highly suggest making the game's design more appealing to the audience as well as adding animations for a wow factor.
