Inspiration

Popcat which is a clicking game has been popular for a long time. I think it's very interesting, but it hurts people's fingers and wrist a lot, and not much benefit to play it. I learnt that a simple game can be popular from Popcat, but I want to create something educational for children.

What it does

A frog will give math problems to an user, then the user needs to answer it. If answer is correct, frog will make a happy face, if the answer is incorrect, frog will make funny face and sound. I think it will make children fun to play!

How we built it

I used Pycharm with 'pygame' feature. Gather some free images and sound files from online, and created scripts. Then, using 'pyinstaller' to make exe file.

Challenges we ran into

My initial code made an error that it keeps reading user's input before the user hit 'enter'. Therefore, frog made unhappy face all the time, before user input the correct answer. However, once user hit the answer, it goes back to unhappy face again. I figured out that there was a mistake on my while loop statement. It's hard to figure out what was my error, but finally figured it out, and program runs well now!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

My initial plan was just to create a simple math calculator with some picture of frogs. However, once I accomplished first steps, I was much into the project, so I added some more features like sounds, mission for the game(hit 100 scores, then display a Hoppy Frog image with congratulation messages)

What we learned

It was a great chance to test my coding skills of Python. I have made some scripts for school coursework, but I never have made something for my own project with python before. I've leant how to imply playing sound features on the scripts, and create executable files as well.

What's next for Marog Your Math Friend

I might add some more features and create a website or application that multi users can compete to each others like online game. Questions are randomly given, and some division questions are hard to calculate by only brain even for adult. Therefore, I believe it will be a fun game.
