Dimenxion: Learn Math or Die Trying? LOL – Ashton_JX

Ashton_JX Member Posts: 156 From: Springfield, Oregon, USA Registered: 02-21-2005	I just found an interesting game online. I just downloaded the demo. It is a first person shooter using the Torque engine and it is designed to teach algebra. This is prety cool because I love FPS games and I'm going to be taking an algebra class in a month. I thought I'd post this for anyone who would like a cool algebra learning game or just finds the concept bizarre enough to look into. haha. Dimenxian: Learn Math or Die http://www.tabuladigita.com/ My reaction to the demo is that the enemies seemed a tad on the easy side, but I was learning math. Just a nice refresher course on the x and y axis and using a grid. I'm actually considering buying this for my algebra class, lol. **** Little update: I guess the game has online multiplayer too. LOLZ! http://www.tabuladigita.com/img/screen15.jpg Haha, time to do fractions and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum. [This message has been edited by Ashton_JX (edited June 25, 2006).]

But it is really easy, in all aspects. Like you said, teach it to 7 year olds! ------------------ "Be nice to the nerds because later on, you'll be working for them" - Bill Gates
