Relationship Calculator by Gao Ming

[raw]
made by Gao Ming for Ludum Dare 45 (COMPO)

"Relationship Calculator" predicts the type and duration of the relationship between you and her/him, using big data and mathematical formula.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Input her/his name. 1-input-name.gif

  2. She/he will pick a random number while you start with 0. You need to match her/his number as close as you can using the calculator. 2-math.gif

  3. When you're satisfied with your number, press "END DAY" and get the "result symbol" based on your numbers. 3-end-day.gif

  4. When you've finished all 5 days' calculation, the final result of your relationship will be revealed. Good luck! 4-result.gif

PRO TIPS

  1. Input large number by pressing two number buttons. tip-1-input-numbers.gif

  2. The number will be clamped between 99 and -99. Use it wisely and you can get a large number easily. tip-2-cap-99.gif

  3. Use the operator buttons to operations. tip-3-operator.gif

  4. Number 0 is handy combined with operators. tip-4-0.gif

  5. The calculator can handle negative number. It's useful when target number has a different sign. tip-5-neg.gif

Didn't really understand what you were waiting for us to do in your game :/ However, the interface is nice looking and it looks great and original overall ^^

It's a good calculator but not a funny game.

The idea is great! And it reminds me of the experience playing poker 24 points :smile:

Nice idea of ordering calculations while input numbers and the target are all random. The game would be better if the balance is further improved. Multiplication and Division are most useful ways to moving close to the target in
just one or two steps, but addition and subtraction often occupy all the slots and the strategy is limited.

Interesting calculator. Send the message: "Your name + He/Her Name", such as "Guojing + Huangrong", you can know the relationship XD~

An interesting math puzzle. I like the idea, but I still do not understand how to take the value to minus

Nice little game. However, I wasn't very good at math ^^; I tried to input "50" in the middle of an operation but, only the 5 was taken, then the 0 did nothing :/

I like the idea and the interface. The phrase " This calculator is used for scientific purposes" is interesting. Little hard to complete the puzzle some time. But it is an amazing experience to solve some puzzle about math. Really make me think about the relationship with other people and the effort we may make to try to get along well with others.
