State Machines explained using a math video game

Hello! We built a state machine train set within the game world of Mathbreakers, and we’d love to show it to you! http://player.vimeo.com/video/98192528

Mathbreakers is a 3-D adventure-exploration game that currently teaches math in a very visual and tactile way to kids 7-12. We’re trying to push the upper bounds of the gaming platform, which is why we built the Turing trains ;-) We’ll be doing additional higher math experiments using the game in the near future!

Last year, we took a brief look at Mathbreakers, a educational third person game that mixes math with some mind bending puzzles. WIth an approach that allows players to experiment in order to proceed, it was a unique take on learning by experimenting with numbers and the functions that alter them.

Well now the developers, Imaginary Number Co., have started a month long Kickstarter campaign to push the game forward to mobile devices. This was the primary request for the title after much testing with many students and teachers.
