Show HN: I made a web game that makes practicing basic arithmetic fun

161 点作者 dylanhouli12 个月前
Hey, maker here.<p>After launching a daily word search game, I randomly thought of this math game while driving. Finally got around to making it and I think it turned out pretty cool.<p>It’s a math search game that’s meant to help you practice your quick addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills.<p>I’m hoping it’ll help people (even those like me who aren’t big on math) learn and increase their speeds.<p>(There are also some settings you can enable to make the game harder)<p>If you try it out, please let me know if you found it fun, if you have anything you’d like me to add, or if you have any other feedback.<p>And if you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer. Much appreciated.

I want to share this with my daughter who needs some practice with these, but the timer just causes anxiety. Could you add a mode with unlimited time but three &quot;lives&quot;?

This is cool. When it&#x27;s in &#x27;all operators&#x27; mode it&#x27;s challenging!<p>One thing that I noticed is that there&#x27;s a timer. Depending on your target audience, you might want to make that optional.<p>My son is 7 and finds the timer on Zetamac creates unnecessary stress. So I made something simpler for him that just shows a fixed number of problems (with no time limit), and uses a cookie to track the streak length: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;math.twilam.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;math.twilam.com&#x2F;</a>

Love this!<p>I also made a math game 3 years ago.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zineanteoh&#x2F;clean-the-river">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zineanteoh&#x2F;clean-the-river</a><p>I called it “Clean the river”. It is a web-based game that lets children practice forming and solving basic mathematical expressions by &quot;cleaning the river&quot;.

Reminds me of Number Munchers: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;classicreload.com&#x2F;number-munchers.html#" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;classicreload.com&#x2F;number-munchers.html#</a><p>You could add in some elements that game uses to make it more appealing to kids.

Neat! I played for a while with my 10yo son. The timer is a bit of a drag. My suggestion is to either implement a lives mechanism like the other poster suggested, or to make the timer reset after each success.

Amazing little game, thank you!<p>Being able to swipe over the equation instead of tapping would improve playability a lot! Also I sometimes feel like the first tap is not registered right after the new MN appears.

This looks cool. The UI animation is good. Looking forward for more such games. A few minor feedbacks.<p>1. Even on phones, it leaves a lot of margin&#x2F;padding, and the boxes are a bit too small. Can you make it a bit more responsive and use up the whole width of the screen (up to a max width of course) 2. Only the first and the last needs to be selected, and so slide doesn&#x27;t work. 3. A minor confusion in the UI, that I&#x27;m not sure if the equation can span across multiple lines?

Very nice, love it. I play the chess version of this pretty often. You might like to take a look at Lichess’ Puzzle Storm (and Puzzle Streak&#x2F;Puzzle Race) for some inspiration on other game modes.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lichess.org&#x2F;storm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lichess.org&#x2F;storm</a>

Feature request; my third grader needed to work on certain numbers like 3’s and 9’s, also the random number generation seemed limited when I played. Also agree zen mode is needed. Also how about adding n seconds when a correct answer is entered?

I have a premonition that within three months, someone (a newspaper) will purchase this beautiful game to add ads or offer subscriptions. Then, thousands of copycats will appear, and finally, there will be an open-source version.<p>What a beautiful game, congrats!

You have to account for fat fingers on mobile. Twice have I pressed the 4th square instead of the 3rd, and I don&#x27;t even have &quot;fat&quot; fingers. Just remove the ending squares if they are operators.

Great app! We were playing with the two little ones though we needed more time. I saw a comment in the thread with a combo of zen mode, lives (eg mistakes) and maybe a level up mechanism?<p>Rainbow at the end is great!

Cool game. “7 +” is the start of a valid equation so making it error out can be confusing for 7 year olds that you need to “jump” over the operator. Great otherwise!

Nice.<p>I encountered a couple of screens where there was no correct answer available; MN=2, and there were no 1s on the grid. I suspect my 6-year-old granddaughter would protest.

On iOS the “Add to Home Screen” strips the &#x2F;mathic&#x2F; so the link ends up opening the word game instead.<p>Would you consider hosting this as mathic.worchle.com?

Slightly confusing rounding to 2dp. E.g. 1&#x2F;8 displays as 0.13. Maybe show another decimal or display target as fraction.

This is pretty cool. My 6 year old is into word searches and math, so this seems like it will be a fun game for him.

You can choose a diagonal segment but it doesn&#x27;t count even if the concatenated digits give the M.N.

That&#x27;s a fantastic concept. I did pretty badly so it looks like I need to practice more.

Fun, great concept.<p>Getting an error for pressing the addition button &quot;2+&quot; is a bit confusing.

I tapped a number, then an operator and was told it wasn&#x27;t valid. Wordle and other games let you tap each tile to build up your answer.
