FormulaFrenzy

A python-based implementation of a competitive function guessing game (Mental Regression).

Inspiration

We wanted to create a math game for all ages that required no knowledge of theory beforehand, purely a game of problem-solving.

In math class, students usually find themselves plugging and chugging numbers into functions & formulas, but this game teaches you to construct functions by finding patterns!

What it does

Given a randomly generated table of values, the player must construct a function that satisfies the table (the difficulty of the problem can range from very easy to very hard). Our game then parses their input using a custom-made algorithm.

How We built it

The parser algorithm, function generator, and websocket sever were all built using Python. The frontend was built using React JS.

Challenges We ran into

Creating the input checker/validator, linking our project together, keeping each other on the same page.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Having deployed it! The design! The power of the algorithm!

What We learned

We learned a ton about websockets and React. We also improved our problem-solving ability ;)
