You Only Get 1 by haltoncz

[raw]
made by haltoncz for LD28 (COMPO)
How to play?

In this game you have only number 1, and you must get it to correct position in formula. Nothing else!

So when is formula (on exam):
"2+4 = 3"
So you must write "4" because 2+1 = 3.
You only change number 4 to number 1.

ok second exam:
2+5*3 = 7
now you must write "3" because 2+5*1 = 7.
You only change number 3 to number 1.
ok?

"Sorry for my english :)"

ERRORS:
-This formula is written with type(-|-15|+|-15+(16-1)|-|3| = |9|-26). Use this one instead (-|-15|+|-15+(16-1)|-|3| = |9|-12). Sorry for that :)

(-|-15|+|-15+(16-1)|-|3| = |9|-26) --> (-|-15|+|-15+(16-1)|-|3| = |9|-12)

Too much thinking for me, but original idea! :)

Weird, but a super clever premise, and some of the questions were really interesting. Cool idea, bro!

Never seen a game quite like this. Interesting concept.

The concept is not clear enough.

really great use of the theme, and very original implementation something with no graphics

please consider showing this to math teachers so they can torment their students with it

please do not get me wrong, but it's your first game, and i feel i should give you a hint.

first, i must say that I got the game idea. however, some formulas are not exact, like 9 + 6 = 10 case. in this case, we have 3 correct solutions (9 + 1 = 10, 4 + 6 = 10 or 9 + 6 = 15) and no other hint of what number could be wrong. this can lead to player frustration because there is no truly incorrect answer and he still can chose poorly.

but please do not let that discourage you. i think you have a great way to go. kudos!

veiaadoida: You always have to change to number to number one. In case you used to describe your problem only correct solution is "9 + 1 = 10".

This game is quite unique :) I like it. I don't understand the answer for the question "1111118111", even though I looked it up in your source code.

I reallly like the idea and had a bit of fun with it. However, the impossible equation was truly evil.. I spent at least 10 minutes trying to figure it out. :(
And a few answers don't make much sense (to me), such as the 1111811 thing and the (5+5)*1010 = 90 equation. But other than that, well done!
