Chalk Racer! by PSiv
My first Ludum Dare is over! I am proud to say I have achieved my simple goal of finishing a game. This game is a racing/maths game, oh yes, steer your car around a track, answer simple arithmetic quesitons to speed up. Maintain a healthy balance of accurate arithmetic and accurate cornering and you could get yourslef a hearty "Good job"!
Controls: A/D to steer S to brake/reverse


*Main menu doesn't seem to be scaling correctly at lower aspect ratios, 16:9 & 16:10 work fine though

I had trouble looking back and forth between the race track and the arithmetic and making sure to click on the right spot. I'd like it better if there were shortcut keys to pick the right answer, or if you could just key in the right answer on the keypad. That way I could focus more on racing and arithmetic, and less on mouse placement.
:thumbsup:
The concept could be easily used to teach maths! Now make more races and let the player decide on which operation to train! Amazing work overall!!
PS: I laughed too hard at your mouth-made noises ^^

@issac Hotkeys for answers is something that I planned to include but slipped through the net, I have added them to the updated version!
@nonimad I really liked your idea of being able to pick which operations for the questions, so I've added a settings menu where you can do exactly that!
I have released an updated version trying to take on board some of your feedback and adding some extras I didn't have time to fit in originally (AI opponenets to race against) so if you're interested in seeing what has changed please check it out!
