This is a game created by Seojin for Math Club Pi Day. This game is inspired by the Japanese educational game called “Wallprime”, where players are given numbers to prime factorise and they have to do each one in succession and as quickly as possible. In this game, players similarly need to prime factorise as many numbers as possible within 120 seconds. When a number to be factored is provided, players are given buttons labelled with 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 , 19, 23. As such, any number provided will have to be a product of any few of these numbers of any power. The numbers will be generated with a code and pressing the buttons divides the number by the prime number on the button. For example, pressing 2 will divide the number by 2 if possible. If a participant wrongly selects a prime factor, penalty time will be added depending on how many times he had made mistakes. The penalty time follows the following table: Table of time penalty following a fibonacci sequence divided by 10. As such, the participant’s objective is also to make as little mistakes as possible. Furthermore, a correct answer streak provides a very large bonus in score. We implemented a score system, similar to the TETR.IO Blitz scoring table. Answering prime numbers (2, 3, 5, 7) correctly will add a default score of 100, higher prime numbers (11, 13, 17) will add 300 and highest prime numbers (19, 23) will add 500. When answering n correct numbers in a row, the player gains an n combo where the bonus combo score added to each answer is 50n. A wrong guess of a prime number will result in the combo being reset to 0. When a number is fully factorized, add a default score of 3500. When doing k back-to-back full factorisations with no wrong guesses, the 3500 is multiplied by k to the power of 1.618. This hence provides the challenge of prioritising accuracy over speed, so that participants do not exploit by “spamming” guesses to win.
