I've been quiet lately as I've been working on a free game. It's called Mathio Whirled and mixes mental arithmetic with a traditional platformer. It was fun writing it, but time to get back drawing.

If you want to play it, you can find it at https://henspace.itch.io/mathio-whirled

Been messing with #ziglang today, pretty neat. Will try shifting some of my work over to zig. For messing I just set out to build myself a cli for some mental arithmetic, like I used to play as a kid at my maths tutor who was also programming, and wrote an entire maths game in QBasic to let his students compete. Really hit me, I'm rusty in maths... #math #mentalarithmetic #arithmetic #programming #zig

I came across a way of generating sudo-random numbers in your head:
-first, choose a seed number between 0-59
-multiply the units by 6 and add the tens eg 25 goes to (5*6)+2=32
-take the units as your random number between 0-9
-use the last random number as the seed for the next one

It's not perfect, but it's a pretty cool thing to do in your head!
