I made a web game that makes practicing basic arithmetic fun
Hey, maker here. 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. It’s a math search game that’s meant to help you practice your quick addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills. I’m hoping it’ll help people (even those like me who aren’t big on math) learn and increase their speeds. (There are also some settings you can enable to make the game harder) 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…

In plain words
This web game helps users practice basic arithmetic through an interactive search format. Players work on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills by finding math problems and solutions within a grid. The game is designed to improve calculation speed and make math practice engaging for all skill levels, including those who find traditional math uninviting. Adjustable difficulty settings allow players to increase the challenge as they progress.

Mathic is a magical fast math search game that'll test your speed and accuracy! Equations can be highlighted horizontally and vertically , either backwards or forwards . Note: In Mathic, equations must start with a number, followed by an operator, followed by another number (e.g. 7+3). You can also create longer equations, like 7+3+4. Solve as many Magic Numbers as you can before the game ends! The more Magic Numbers you solve in a row, the higher your streak will grow! A higher streak will lead to higher scores, so watch that accuracy! By default, this is a fast math game with 60 second rounds. However, you can change your game mode in the settings menu for different experiences. Customize…from worchle.com

This is the first iteration of a short game I’m making that tries to interactively explain some of my favorite math questions / ideas. My goal is mostly to get the player curious and not necessarily to explain absolutely everything. There were a lot of fun technical parts to building this: - For implementation reasons, it’s much easier if the lines all have integer intersection points with each other. To do this, when a new line is added I “cheat” by rounding intersections to integers and then splitting the old lines at the intersection into new linds (with potentially different slopes)…
