Inspiration

Bryan has a daughter who is absolutely glued to watching T.V. He wants her to learn how to count while she is watching it.

What it does

Mathstronauts is a math game that has multiple levels that teaches how to count with a space theme

How we built it

We used Gamemaker IDE to create different rooms for the game

Challenges we ran into

Initially we wanted to use an arduino to control the game with an IR remote. Unfortunately we could not get the arduino to simulate keyboard presses. Also it was some of our first times using Gamemaker IDE, so we needed to learn how to use it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to create some pictures for the theme, and create some rooms for the game. We were also able to connect an arduino to another arduino, and communicate IR data.

What we learned

We learned how to make games in Gamemaker IDE and how to communicate between two arduinos.

What's next for Mathstronauts

Next we plan to integrate the IR Remote to the game and complete the math challenges.
