Announcing the first playable release of Maggots races!
This is an educational videogame about kinematics. It is meant to help the understanding of the languages of kinematics (i.e. verbal, mathematical, and graphical). Students are presented with a series of questions describing the motion of three maggots. The students have to determine the winner of each race, by solving the exercise.
The graphical style is in pixel-art. The questions are written in chalk on an old-looking blackboard. The races are projected on a screen.
I hope that this game will be useful for some teachers and students out there! If you want to help me with this project, you can submit questions to be added or suggest improvements. The code is open source and published at https://gitlab.com/cristiano.fontana/maggots-races/
