Since I already know the code for it, I went and made another one, since some people liked the first. This one is slightly different.


*UPDATED*


No one liked the music so I took it out. If you liked it, sorry. Taking it out was more wanted then keeping it on.

So, this was another nice variant of your number puzzle games. However this one doesn't seem to check the solutions properly. I believe that this was due to you finding one answer and neglecting that there are actually several. However, that doesn't take much away from the core of the game, as it's more about figuring it out. People that need satisfaction from a button to tell them they're right, are missing the point. While you should've accounted for the multiple answers (potentially by having the check add the numbers together instead of having a set board that equals correct) I don't think the game is much much worse for it.

20 variables with 12 constraints, so it wasn't hard to come up with a solution:

3797, 9687, 6 486, 43 63, 4576

I say that because after refreshing it a few times, it's apparent the board or clues never change so this solves this whole game in general.

The problems are, the interface for entering it in and the fact that it doesn't identify it when you've solved it. So you click it once and it turns gray and you can use the arrow keys to change the number in the box when you hit the right and left arrow keys. If you click it again it turns blue and it locks the value. You can have any of the squares in any combination of blue and gray (or white if you haven't clicked on it yet), and the left and right arrows will always modify the first one, reading left to right, up to down, which is still gray, so if you turn the first square gray, you won't be able to modify any others until you make it blue and hitting the left and right arrows will only modify that first square's number, it doesn't matter what other squares you click on and what colors you make them. When you click on a blue square to make it gray again, it resets its value to 1, so you can't have more than one square white without all but the active one containing the number 1. This is not properly explained in the instructions. And that's annoying.

But what really kills all point to the game is that when you enter in a valid solution and hit the Check button with all the squares blue and in a valid solution, nothing happens. If you have a valid solution and hit the check button with all squares blue but with one square white, it tells you it's not completed. And of course there is no way to try it with all the squares white because it will reset all but one of them to contain "1" when you click on a blue square to make it white. So fail.

I just felt like writing about what was actually wrong with it to juxtapose with what the idiots below me (last review in 2002!) which is basically "duh, I'm to stopid 4 math, maths suxs because I failed it in 3th grade, durr your gay". And the game DOES suck. But I feel that the arguments against it should be valid ones. Tell why it actually sucks. There are so many valid points you can make against this game, you don't need to fall back on bad ones.

*cough*

That was really boring if your going to make a game make it a game that people will enjoy this was really gay

grow a dick man

go get urself a root, and fuckoff with this shit, this is newgrounds, not some some homo maths site

Frank2982 responds:

I do have a dick man, and unlike you I don't need to get off on cartoon porn. I'm sorry I didn't have any naked chicks just walking around fingering themselves and eating each other out, let alone in cartoon form so you can jerk off to it. If you don't like the game, thats fine, either you don't like math, or in your case, your a fag and only like getting off to cartoons and probably little children you sick fuck

what the hell....

i don't come to this site to do math problems...

Frank2982 responds:

I'm sorry, you come to this site to look at porn, don't you? Yeah, well if you don't like math (or in your case, probably can't do math) then just close the window and move on. Cast your vote, but if that is all you are gonna say is you don't come here to do math problems, then don't leave a review. Apparently you don't respect the work I had to do for the actionscript and shit for it, so go to hell.
