You Only Get 1s by treip

[raw]
made by treip for LD28 (COMPO)
You Only Get 1s is a simple math game played in a web browser with pure JavaScript (no plugins).

The goal for each problem is to make the equation equal. To accomplish this, you change one of the numbers to a 1.


I really wish I had more time out of these two days that I was able to work. It was such a fun project and the current state isn't nearly as polished as I had hoped I could make it, but it's perfectly playable as a proof-of-concept.

Confirmed browser support:
Chrome
Firefox
IE9+
Probably works in Opera, Safari, Konqueror, etc, but untested.

Math Rules! It's simple, but it got me thinking.

This is more like a simple math exercise than a game, and when it's subtracting numbers I never got a negative difference, so the number on the right was always 1.

Nice and simple, perhaps you could expand the idea with more math operations, like multiplication, division, and powers. Good job!

Great idea for a game, I can see how it could be expanded and made a lot of fun. I like the flipping number mechanic.
Good job!
