There is a mobile game called DragonBox. It sort of tricks you into learning algebra by starting with very abstract manipulations of a puzzle that must follow rules... gradually the game teaches you more and more rules and also strips out the more abstract elements until on the last levels you are finally solving real equations. I loved it, it taught my kids algebra.... and it was just fun. Over the years I often thought that there should be a calculator for Algebra that works this way... something where you can drag terms around and cancel & distribute with gestures, but most importantly…

Hello HN! We're Rory and Chris, and we've made a game called Dozenal[0], a grid-based number puzzle game where the objective is to use all the tiles on the board to create totals of 12 (hence the name). We think the mechanic is quite unique, although keen to hear if people know of similar games! You essentially drag tiles across the board, and the distance between two numbers decides the arithmetic operation when they connect to each other: zero spaces is addition, one space is subtraction, two spaces is multiplication: e.g. 5 → 4 = 9 5 → _ → 4 = 1 5 → _ → _ → 4 = 20 We've spent the past…

Context: I'm looking at Norman Wildberger's rational trigonometry[1], and here I was wondering how useful it is in physics. So I thought about testing it with the famous simple pendulum exercise. It's not obvious we get any FPS gain, but still I find it cool to even be able to get the same result differently. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_trigonometry

While studying Geometric Algebra I have built some interactive visualization to demonstrate how geometric transformations (rotation, scaling, translation) can be constructed by just composing reflections. Accepting reflection as the most elementary geometric operation was an eye opening moment for me. I think some of you might enjoy the interactive visuals.

This seems unlikely to be a "new" idea, but I stumbled into it by accident and thought it was cool. Java source code below: // This class is in the public domain. public class Numbers { public static void main(String[] args) { int numRows = 256; int numColumns = 128; for (int row = 0; row < numRows; row++) { StringBuilder rowOutput = new StringBuilder(); for (int column = 0; column < numColumns; column++) { if ((row & column) != 0) rowOutput.append("1"); else rowOutput.append("0"); } System.out.println( String.format("row/col %s:\t%s", row, rowOutput.toString())); } } }
