What if the Calculator App Was a Roguelike!? | Let's Try Calculate It

Get Calculate It: store.steampowered.com/app/30...
We've made a calculator roguelike! Yes, it's not a joke. A boring device has turned into an interesting strategy, where each calculator you collect sets its own style of play. Can you count all the numbers and prove who's the king of calculations here?

[@durttheelder4035]

So what internet rule would this be what number would fit it well anf isn't used?

[@ManiacalSpy]

Math lesson time! The modulus operator (%) is simply for getting the remainder when you divide the left by the right, so 21 % 5 = 1, because 21/5 =4 with a remainder of 1. Unfortunately, the wording is a bit unclear on the tooltip, but that's what that operator does. It's mostly used for programming purposes from my understanding, so most people don't really encounter it, so I'm not surprised it was a bit tricky to understand.

[@YuumiGamer1243]

as a programmer I can confirm, it is my favourite operator.

[@bradleycovington9788]

​@@YuumiGamer1243 so useful in programming

[@reverse_engineered]

It's also a key component of encryption and one-way functions.

[@PetrifiedNightmares]

It’s also something people are constantly doing in their head whenever they do clock arithmetic. You mod your answer by 12 or 24 when adding or subtracting hours from a certain time. For example 11 pm + 4 hours = 15 % 12 = 3 am. Or 23:00 + 5 hours = 28 % 24 = 4:00

[@themanofquagga]

Mod2 is indeed used quite often in programming as the simplest way to find if a number is odd, since if a number is odd, the mod2 will return 1, giving an easy conversion to true

[@Arma-S]

Imagine your friend doing something in a calculator and saying sometimes "wow im so lucky....damn, i really need those small numbers. You know what - i actually dont hate the square root. That was too easy - i think its time to ASCEND "

[@jakobrietzler349]

The +-10 snaps to the number you need if your in range of ten

[@Grazden]

Oh man this is a game that would 100% appear in my nightmares.

[@dereke1683]

The Mod button is like division, but takes the remainder instead. If you divide 16 by 15, you get 1, with a remainder of 1. If you divide 23 by 4, you get 5 with a remainder of 3.

[@rjose705]

I feel like it would be better if you had your buttons refresh, and the targets were moving. Meaning like on the later phases, you would need to get 88,then 55, then 33 etc. then you go to shop. But like having to re-buy basic functions like multiply/subtract, etc. doesn't feel too good.

[@bestaround3323]

You need to use as few resources as possible

[@ManlyPicnics]

I think something as simple as +1 to basic operators after each boss would go a long way, or just a shop re-roll. Pretty interesting though, overall.

[@Arma-S]

But no jokes - i think this game can be actually useful in a math class if you're a teacher with high charisma

[@m5giora]

what a fun idea! I couldn't help but think of interesting "Relics" that could be added in the future.

[@ASeale74]

This has been explained a couple times already but let's see if I can make it a little simpler. The mod (%) operator. It's really only useful in programming although I'm sure there are some weird mathematical functions that actually use it in the real world. Great use case for programming is to determine if a number is even or not. For example to determine if X is even: if (x%2 == 0) return true. So if X=5 then 5%2=1 (because 2 can go into 5, 2 times evenly with 1 left over. So 2*2=4 and 5-4=1)... ok I didn't make that any easier/simpler.....

[@caramel_droplet]

I remember how smart i used to feel in coding class after using operators instead of if/else/elif sentences lol. Our tasks would be so simple that no one cared to learn operators, but i always loved to optimize the code to my limit. This brings back a lot of memories man
