Summary

Math Cubed turns maths practice into a fast arcade game.

Built in Unreal Engine 5, it wraps simple maths questions in the pace and feedback of an action game. The aim was to stop practice feeling like a chore; chasing a high score does the motivating instead.

Main Points

  • Arcade pace: Questions come at you like waves of enemies.
  • Feedback: Right answers feel rewarding; sound, particles, score.
  • Scaling: Questions get harder as you improve.

How It Works

Question Generator

Questions are generated with rising difficulty, so the challenge keeps up with the player.

Arcade Feel

Sound effects, particles, and screen shake make every answer feel like it lands.

Progression

Scores and rewards are paced to make 'one more round' tempting.
