My game: MathGenius written in Pascal

[Wizard]

Hi everyone, here's some screenies and a link to my game called MathGenius. It's written in Pascal with Delphi6 and UnDelphiX Move around with the cursor keys and solve the math problems to advance to the next level. The music track is not so hot, I converted .wav to mp3 at the last second to make the volume control work :evil: Please test it and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi

I have played the game. I am always interested in maths games as that is part of what I do for a living. I work for a international after school Maths and Reading tuition company.

As a maths game it is missing the fun element. There is no choice, you just have to answer all the questions. There are no chance elements, e.g. against the clock, uncovering the key under one of the questions.

It would be nice if the question and edit box were to appear in a panel when you bump into a square, then the pupil can see the equation and write their answer in beside it.

Is there a reason why you hard wired the questions into the blocks? I would remove that and instead ask the pupil if they wish to practice their + - x / or a mix of these types of questions. I would also put in difficulty levels, i.e. addition where result is less than 20, 20-100 and more etc

Good luck

Good idea !

But levels is very easy for me.
I like to count money in the shops. Something like $87.78 +$78.87 ...

try to remove the delay between the evaluations :?

maybe using onkeyup of the edit control that you are using?

Thanks for the replies guys :-)

Czar, hard - wiring of questions is now removed and replaced by edit box next to answer field. I will take your further comments into consideration, thanks.

Kapitan, I had to make them very easy so that my girlfriend can play , thanks for testing.

arthurprs, I use the onKeyPress of the edit. Without the delay (pause) the users' answer dissapears so fast when the collision finishes that you can't see the answer.

I've updated the link in my original post but here's the new file:
