Overview
Fractionauts is an educational game for the XOPC, with the primary purpose of teaching the various concepts of fractions and specific operations which may be performed on them. Fractionauts is generally designed to teach these fraction operations on a fourth grade level of understanding. Players are required to solve mathematical problems, where they are given a goal amount in fraction form and must combine other fractional amounts to achieve this goal amount (ex. combine 1/4 and 1/2 to achieve the goal amount of 3/4). When a question is answered correctly, the user moves on to a new question, where each successive question increases in difficulty.
Levels
Fractionauts, as suggested by its name, is a game about exploring space and solving mathematical problems involving fraction operations. The user takes the roll of an astronaut, and in order to move through space they must fill their rocket ship with the correct amount of fuel. Each level contains a problem. These problems present the player with a goal amount of fluid they are trying to achieve, and a collection of beakers which are partially filled with fuel. The player is required to mix these partially filled beakers into the main beaker, with the goal being to fill this beaker only to the goal amount. If the beaker has been filled too high or too low, the answer is incorrect.
