Game developed in Brazil has international users

Thinking about the difficulty that new students face when entering university, Professor Allan de Medeiros from the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), developed a game interactive in order to help and exercise the concepts of mathematics in the creation itself.

Success around the world

Among its current users are students from the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL) and the Federal Institute of Science, Technology and Innovation (IFRN), but the system also has the registration of players in several countries around the world, such as: Greece, Japan and the United States. United. Foreigners gained access to the game through the teacher's blog who, motivated to help students suffering from flood of information upon entering college, designed the experience to minimize the negative impact on students. freshmen.

In his speech, the teacher justifies what led him to produce the game: “When you get here, it's a very big bombardment. So for the student it is not so trivial. It's heavy! You have to do Pre-Calculus precisely to have a smooth transition, because business will tighten. So anything that facilitates or helps link this abstract math with the real world is super mega useful. This one is an example”.

The purpose is to increase understanding of how the individual receives information, in addition to facilitating their performance in advanced mathematics. The game's proposal is very simple: it consists of a single form of control that takes place through the bar that moves the character on the screen, moving him as the arrows indicate. The objective is to guide the character until he reaches the target.

It is a representation of the mathematical problem that sometimes is not easy to understand. Thus, the logic behind the game is to speed up the process of understanding these types of issues. The game was produced and developed entirely by the professor, who plans to make the project available for iOS soon.
