What If Basic Algebra Was A STRATEGY GAME?

[@anonymall]

Tyler seems to be a lot more comfortable with using undo, goes to show how much harder the game gets

[@TraxisOnTheLines]

At the start I was thinking "I'm good with numbers but some of his intuitive math is crazy, wow." and less than 10 minutes in I see him mashing the undo button and having to rethink his math. It makes me feel a little better lol

Joining the digits of numbers to make a new number is an operation called concatenation and is written like 10 || 5 = 105

[@TlalocTemporal]

Two bars are the proper math notation? Interesting. I'm used to &.

[@Nevir202]

@@TlalocTemporal That's one of the ways it is handles in Excel. Is that also the standard for some programing language?

[@aonodensetsu]

@@Nevir202 in programming || is logical OR and & is bitwise AND it's usually one of: "10" + "5" "10" . "5" "10" .. "5" concat("10", "5")

[@DuCKhAcKERWK04]

Hmm, this is something I should remember for my future. Thanks for the help

[@piercexlr878]

​@@TlalocTemporalConcatenation doesnt really have a super common notation for it. You really have to either glean it from context or know whats common for your specific use case. || works well in math, but terrible on programming which typically uses a +. Similarly its not a commonly talked about math operation so any given source my decide to use a different notation

Being able to add enemies together and then divide them is so funny and powerful. I love to see the various interactions that arise from game mechanics like this.

[@waarschijn]

17:16 how to factorize 377 in your 🧠: - digit sum is not divisible by 3 👉 no factor 3 - doesn't end in 0 or 5 👉 no factor 5 - subtracting 77 makes it 300 👉 no factor 7 or 11 - adding 13 makes 390=30·13 👉 377=29·13

[@MudakTheMultiplier]

Yo is there a good source for lots of these mental shortcuts?

[@waarschijn]

@@MudakTheMultiplier The only worthwhile shortcuts are 3 (digitsum) and 11 (alternating digitsum, not needed in this case). The main thing to keep in mind is the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: every integer has a unique factorization into prime numbers. Being familiar with modular arithmetic also helps. You can look up an introductory course in elementary number theory, but that's way overkill. It's mostly just practice.

[@piercexlr878]

​@@MudakTheMultiplier2 and 5 are easy. 3 and 11 take a bit of work, but arent bad. (9 works similarly to 3). 7 you can kinda eyeball by looking for factors you know are around it and if adding them is also divisble by 7. Numberphile i think has a video on some tricks but the name escapes me

[@waarschijn]

@@piercexlr878 For 7, you can remove the rightmost digit and subtract it twice from the remainder. e.g. 573 becomes 57 - 2·3 = 51 which isn't divisible by 7 so the original number 573 isn't divisible by 7 either. (The reason this works is because you're actually just subtracting a multiple of 21 and dividing by 10.) The same principle can be applied with 13: remove the last digit and subtract it 9 times from the remainder. 573 becomes 57 - 9·3 = 30. With 17: remove the last digit and subtract it 5 times from the remainder. 573 becomes 57 - 5·3 = 42. Usually this isn't worth the hassle.

[@DaTimmeh]

​@@MudakTheMultiplierDoing math in your head is the best way. You'll quickly find your own tricks that work best for you. It's one of the reasons calculators are so hated on for trivial calculations. That being said, it can be pretty boring to just sit down and practice simple calculations. I think this game is a fantastic way to make it more fun, maybe try and plan out your entire list of operations before doing anything. Essentially, not relying on the undo button. Alternatively, not everything in life has to be fun and entertaining and an hour spread throughout a week isn't a lot of time to invest, but will do wonders.

LoL Tyler destroying the boss gimmick is hilarious 😂

[@aonodensetsu]

stiching together is called concatenation, not exactly used often in math but in programming kinda

[@GhostGlitch.]

it can be used in math. pure math can sometimes just explore goofy shit just to see.

[@timonobel615]

11:47 This took me half an hour but i figured it out. Ther is another way and I like it more because it uses every spell. 1. Add the breed and the 2x guys together. 2. Use breed. 3. Send one into the 13 value skeleton. 4. Send the other into the 15 value skeleton. 5. Send the spell guy into the 2 that is remaining from the 15. 6. Use zeal. 7. Use power on the 6. 8. Use mult on the regular 4 and 5 (not the anthem guy this is important). 9. Send the 36 and the 20 into the thief ( you now get your add back). 10. Add anthem guy and the 3. 11. Use anthem. 12. Use smoosh to merge your 10 and 8 into 108. 13. Kill the gravedigger. Edit: This has made me fall in love with this game. It felt so good finally figuring this ou.

I'm curious: Is each problem always solvable using the rats and spells you have at the start of the waves, assuming you do them perfectly? Or is there some level of rng and there's a chance that the wave is entirely unsolvable without taking damage?

[@sirhasslich536]

I'd guess the decision tree that covers every single beatable encounter is not realistically calculatable, even without considering the rng-based enemies and rats. Does usually mean that chances of any particular encounter being solvable should be fairly high, and for the rest that's where the deckbuilding aspect comes into play

[@wolffang21burgers]

8:55, you had 4^2 into 13, and 3 into the turned enemy. Now the 98 has become a 108 and can be killed. Then can use 1 buff - attack with the 6 - 2nd buff (from the 4 bird-dude), and attack with 4 and 5 for lethal.
