Mathematics, a voyage to understand the world

This is a new entry about math, or maths, or mathematics, whatever you prefer. I usually use math, but maths is the same mainly in UK. It does not matter, both are great.

I have already talked about the importance of mathematics in another entry. Today, returning to the subject, I would like to talk about this matter again, in a more direct way.

The reason is a recent conversation with a mathematics professional, a teacher who is truly desperate due to the very low level of mathematics that we have in Europe (at least). A serious problem, since the lack of knowledge of mathematics entails many problems for students, not only in their studies, but in life in general as well.

Elva, the Eco Dragon, is an adventure that seeks to influence the environmental awareness of children. The protagonist is Elva, a dragon from another galaxy whose purpose is to clean up the planet from human pollution. With her they will travel by land, sea and air, as well as to the earth’s orbit, to fulfill all kinds of missions related to the care of the Earth.

Collect waste and recycle.

Like Elva, players will collect waste for recycling and accumulating points. They’ll find everything from household trash to toxic waste to space travel debris. The reward will vary depending on how many units of each type you collect. Other ways to help the planet offered by the game include popularizing paper bags, reforesting the map and saving the lives of endangered aquatic animals. You can also clean up areas inhabited by viruses and harmful bacteria.

A game for the family to learn how to take care of the planet.

In the end, “Elva the Eco Dragon” has two missions: being a way of have fun, but also have fun while entertaining and showing how to take care of the planet. A game for everyone, from the little ones in the house to grandparents.

The most important mission starts when the game ends: cleaning up the Earth. But the game never ends, because every day we must keep our mind with the healthcare of the planet. Thank you, and enjoy “Elva the Eco Dragon”.

Save the seas version 1.87A with “Water polluted”

We have included some minor fixes in version 1.87A of Math Classroom Challenge, being the most important the new behavior of speedboats.

But we’ve also included a new element: “Water polluted”. Every time the player throws “math energy” to clean the plastics, the water gets polluted. So a new objective in the game is to avoid pollute the water too much. To achieve that, use the hose the minimum possible. That way you won’t pollute the water too much. It’s up to you again how to use this feature.

Like everything else in the game you have the last choice. But we think it will be a good idea to save the seas from our own pollution when cleaning up plastics.

We have also included a new post in IndieDB talking about all this if you want to get more info.

Have a nice day saving whales and dolphins!
