Math Racers

Inspiration

I was inspired by those boring racing games on cool math games that you have to play when you are in class and everything is blocked. That is the first thing that came to mind when I heard the topic "Education".

What it does

You control a car that can move left or right using the arrow keys or A and D. You answer math questions and the more you get right, the faster you go, and the more you get wrong the slower you go. If you go below a certain speed, you lose, or if you hit a car you lose.

How I built it

I coded it from scratch using java and a lightweight IDE (BlueJ). I got sprites from online and drew the start and loss screens.

Challenges we ran into

I had difficulty relearning the java image system because it can be a little wonky sometimes.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm proud that I finished a game for once.

What I learned

I learned how to display typed text and how to convert string equations into actual numeric answers.

What's next for Math Racers

Algebra problems instead of just basic math.
