"I'm very smart, at math, uh, in, I'm... a very intelligent person." - Tyler I wish you pulling out a calculator to play a calculator game wasn't the most relatable thing you've ever done, but here I am, nodding sagely because I too needed a calculator for 94 - x = 15.
@@Omlet221 It actually translates quite well since it forces the person to use multiple means to arrive at an answer. Obviously it's basically arithmetic, but it also teaches problem solving skills that aren't taught very well in schools.
This game would be awesome in the educational system. Its like youre taking a math test the whole video. Not a hard one but very nice gameification of math
It's easier for some people to learn if it's a game so I do see your thinking, yeah. Honestly, I thought the same thing but since you already commented this, prefer to add a like rather than anything else.

25:24. Call me crazy, but I wholeheartedly think the correct answer was convert the 1 to a 5 and then add your money (18) to your 55 to get 73, less buttons pressed and a chance at using cut for something more valuable.
One character named richard waterson (big pink bunny who is dad of the main character gumball) records a youtube video of him playing a game called (calcu-lat-or) and hes just on the pc calculator in his stupidity he "plays" the game as if its some sort of rpg roguelike
There's definitely room for improvement aside from the typos I've seen. I like the variety of calculators and buttons, but there's currently no real incentive structure in place for replayability. An easy fix would be "unlocking" the more difficult calculators and legendary buttons in like a campaign style
the +~10 would have gave you the 1 in the first boss battle. If it reads correctly it adds the remaining if you need less than 10 to the target number.
"I think 0 is more expensive than it needs to be". 0 is effectively a reset button. Just going ×0 will always give you a blank slate, so it is, in fact, very valuable 😅
You could always divide by decimal points and no whole numbers, for example 2 divided by .03 is greater than 2, so it’s kinda like multiplying but confusing
The boss battles remind me of my old broken TI. All of the first row was borked as well as the plus, and I had to figure out weird ways to get to numbers with a 1, 2, or 3
Here's an Idea for round 19. Subtract 9 to bring it to 25, then swap XY to make the required number 25, then convert to 25. It only uses 4 buttons, and it gets rid of some of your situational buttons.
USE THE NEAR BUTTON!!1! From what I understand, it sets your number to the needed number if the difference is 10 or less (ex. If you need 89 and you have 88, it changes it to 89)
This is more fun than starting at 1/360, adding 1/360 with each equal sign press, and watching the fractions steadily get bigger and smaller as they approach 1.
I can totally see this being used in classes, in a similar manner to the old "Number Muncher" series-es from the 1990's. If this was the sort of thing schools wanted to use anymore. lol
There used to be a game wayyy back in the day called calculords which was also a calculator rougelike. Unfortunately it was exclusively on phones, possibly even only on IOS, and lost support years ago. I would kill to have that game rereleased.
I had similar idea in mind tho different execution. Basically you are the one who calculates the stuff. Like filling the taxes (it's literally it tbf). Since calculating stuff is bothersome, you just guess how big the damage is, based on your stats and enemy's def, res and immunity. You'll get fined if you put a number bigger than you actually allowed to. etc etc
I love how math puzzles always make people think too much and when they can simply add +604 they dont see that and look for multiplication and divisions and end up using more buttons.
Bomb destroys a button of your choice. it charges or creates a random button. The bomb is recycle button(the button could have 0 charges!) You buy new buttons with 2 charges where existing buttons gain 1 charge so a destroyed button also gets more bang for your buck if you buy it from the store afterwards. I think the Bomb is a slightly upgraded charge button(if you have depleted buttons available) And it can make room for new buttons because apparently there is a button limit...
Me an engineer: ah I can do that in my head it's easy. Also me: enters it into calculator to see if I was wrong, and then do it again because I could have entered it into the calculator wrong

Little tip: try looking for an easier equation close to that. 95-80=15 is easier, you have one less so 79. Maybe it helps someone.
@@Elechte this is the fundamental core to mental math. And thus it is still difficult for people to wrap their brains around numbers like this

@Elechte Doing percentages backwards blew people's mind in school. Like why do 2% of 50 when you can do 50% of 2?
Imo this is a bad example. 2% of 50 can also easily be seen as 1% of 100 which is a lot more straight forward. @@jaredcollins2049

Pulling out a calculator to solve a calculator is hilarious 😂.
26:25 Glad to see the devs added mod support to the game
Bro 💀💀
Good one
89 is one of those prime numbers that REALLY feels like it shouldn't be prime
20:20 I was thinking Convert to Last Number (59) > Append 4 (594) > Add 103 (697)
"I think 0 is more expensive than it needs to be". 0 is effectively a reset button. Just going ×0 will always give you a blank slate, so it is, in fact, very valuable 😅
Eh depends
Raising current value to 0 making 1 also sounds valuable. Then you're often just an append away.
Also it can be used to multiply and add with 11-19 which could also be huge.
The nostalgia, I still remember when Richard Watterson played the game.
Cal-Cu-la-tor II finally dropped let's gooppp
If this was a phone game I would never leave the toilet while I’m at work
I was just about to type "Richard Watterson". But so many people already did, not suprised.
same
you can abuse the decimal numbers being rounded down, for example in round 7 (14:26) you could've added a 2 then divide by 2
Glad to see SOME RUclipsrs are still responding to comments
🫡
At 25:00 you could have turned the 1 to a 5 and then used the add coins to get it
There’s lots of better moves he could’ve done, no point wasting time on it
Maybe Richard Waterson was onto something afterall
Can't believe this is what gumball predicted
You could always divide by decimal points and no whole numbers, for example 2 divided by .03 is greater than 2, so it’s kinda like multiplying but confusing
I don’t think decimals are in it
Dude I just KNOW people are gonna talk about the gumball scene
I remember watching Richard Watersons walkthrough of this on elmore+
The boss battles remind me of my old broken TI. All of the first row was borked as well as the plus, and I had to figure out weird ways to get to numbers with a 1, 2, or 3
20:30 "I think that went fine." The optimal solution was just +604. Would have saved 2 presses. Just add, man.
The optimal solution is boring, live a little
@@OlexaYT It also makes you feel stupid for going the most obvious path. gotta flex your brain a bit
@@Apple_Apporuthere’s no brain flexing involved when the author literally pulled out a calculator to play this
It’s a calculator game, of course I’m using a calculator
24:05 You can add 22 ... Use the "1->5" to add 4 and use the "add money" to add the remaining 18 ;)
It is cool to see how many ways you can play this.
My idea for round 14 was convert the 1 to a 5 and add your current money.

That’s insane you managed to prime factor 697 though lol
My search calculator history in my browser history:
At 25:15 I'm surprised you didn't go to 55 then add your money (18) with what you just bought.
Was just thinking that
I was screaming at my monitor lol.
Glad I didn't feel that pain alone. He was so close when he dabbled with the 1->5 idea. Basically was the best case scenario for just receiving that
Here's an Idea for round 19. Subtract 9 to bring it to 25, then swap XY to make the required number 25, then convert to 25. It only uses 4 buttons, and it gets rid of some of your situational buttons.

From what I understand, it sets your number to the needed number if the difference is 10 or less (ex. If you need 89 and you have 88, it changes it to 89)
Could have asked the VA of richard waterson to play this
Richard Waterson we know this is you
“my only complaint is that theres no female characters but theres no male characters either so its ok i guess”
11:45 if I'm not mistaken, the most optimal way would be to divide by 9 (=4), then use the button to go to the next prime (4→5).
This is more fun than starting at 1/360, adding 1/360 with each equal sign press, and watching the fractions steadily get bigger and smaller as they approach 1.
“There are some glitches like if you try to use the arrow on the balloon” *explodes*
