Buoyancy Boy

Move the character past the floating platform by knocking out falling weights and rising balloons.  The math here is what you’d need to explain why heavy things fall on earth and why helium balloons fly up into the sky if left untethered. If you already know how to add positive and negative numbers, this will be good practice, otherwise you’ll pick it up without too much trouble.  Best if you already know how to add two small numbers.

  2. Yes, well, it is an XNA game. We will be attempting to port the games to be browser based, though it might be a few days.

  3. I like this one. It’s simple but have to think about ways to get exact +-0 too.
    Hope to screen is a little bit bigger, because I sometimes click out of the game window and get some more weight.

  4. When I try to run the Buoyancy Boy game, I get a popup saying that the application cannot be found on the server. Will this game be available again soon? I would like to preview it to use with my students. Thank you.
