Really fun!  I like the concept, and I'm a teacher, so I appreciate visualizing math.  :)  Here's a video of my friends and I playing it:

Thanks for showing me the video, got some great feedback from it. You did really well given how there aren’t any tips in the game to complete the levels. That was something for which I ran out of time. Now that the jam is over I might work on it some more to try and make it more accessible, and fun to play.

Thanks for this WannesMalfait - really interesting idea! Gosh my brain hurts though.. I'll have to try it again with a pencil and paper so that I can do so algebra :)

This is so cool. Happy for the educational games that are in jams like these. Felt a little bit smarter about line equations after playing this.

Original concept! This could be a great teaching tool. Very nice to get the immediate visual feedback when changing the values.

I really like the concept of this game and is something I did not think of. I would make some improvements on the UI to make it easier to control, but it is a great idea.

Good job!

Btw, how did you make it?

Nevermind, I found the link to the repo. I like to see Rust around here!

Good start, but by focusing on a video game, you may be missing a lot of potential! Here are my thoughts: With controllable time and a bit of UI improvements (e.g. sliders) this could be a great tool to visually explain polynomial functions! Additionally it could serve as an explorative teaching tool to show individual influences of coefficient. You may also include (multiple) derivatives and (hidable) movable tangents to show relationships between functions. There are a lot of possibilities to discover. Keep on the good work!

Yeah didn’t have the time to test it on other people, but I realised it later too that the UI was a bit unintuitive. The inputs are draggable but it’s not so obvious, should have probably just used the slider widget.

Ran out of time to make a custom level mode. I also wanted to make a “practice” mode where you don’t have a time limit.

I do plan on maybe working on this a bit in the future to add more visual clues + explanation (like showing the tangent at 0 when changing the coefficient of x). That way it’s more educational.

Nice concept, kind of hard, but enjoyable

Too hard for me, but then that's my fault as I'm terrible at math. Very original idea, true to the theme! I may not have got anywhere but I sure spent time trying to :)
