One To Ten, In And Out
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
|
The new Flash version of the old game "One To Ten" is now online at The Problem Site. When you click "One To Ten" in the game menus, you get this version instead of the old one.
The old version hasn't been removed from the site, so you can still try it out by going to the game page and clicking the link for the old version.
Speaking of new Flash versions of old games, if you haven't noticed it yet, in the discussion forum at Quote Puzzler, we're talking about a new version of the old game In And Out
The only way you can access this game is by creating a membership account at Quote Puzzler and visiting the discussion forum.
Hope you enjoy both of these updated games!Labels: in and out, one to ten, quote-puzzler, theproblemsite

Rotating Block Puzzle
Friday, October 12, 2007

First, if you missed yesterday's post, be sure to check out the new version of One To Ten which is being tested out. I'd love to hear feedback on the new version.
Today, I'd like to point out a brand new game on The Problem Site. It's called The Rotating Block Puzzle.
This is kind of like a two-dimensional Rubiks Cube. You have 16 squares in a four by four array, and you rearrange them by rotating three by three squares. You'll see what I mean when you try it out.Labels: one to ten, rotating block, theproblemsite

Order Of Operations Game - New Version
Thursday, October 11, 2007
|
In my previous post I was talking about Order Of Operations (PEMDAS), and I mentioned the "One To Ten" game, which is currently the featured game on The Problem Site.
As I was looking at the game, however, I realized that this was one of my very first games created for the site, and it had some serious shortcomings.
The primary one is that it gives you no feedback about how you're doing. You enter 10 expressions, and when you're done you click submit...
...and the computer tells you which ones you have wrong, and never gives you the opportunity to fix your mistakes.
I decided to reprogram this as a Flash game. The new format lets you get more immediate feedback. You can enter an expression, click "Calculate", and if your expression evaluates to a number between 1 and 10 inclusive, that number lights up. This way you get immediate feedback, you get to fix your mistakes, and you can also see your progress through the game.
Want to try the new version? It's still being tested, so if you find any bugs, please send me feedback (dtwitchell@virtu-software.com). Actually, now that I think about it, I'd love to have feedback even if you DON'T find any bugs!
Anyway, here's the new version of the game: One To Ten - Flash VersionLabels: one to ten, theproblemsite
