Mathematical Mind-Reading Game

I don't normally advertise my games, but I think this may be worth viewing. It's something I made up in a few hours, where the user picks out a digit in a specially obtained number, inputs the number without the picked out digit, and the game tells you what the picked out digit was. It sounds simple, but it's a really complex algorithm that calculates the number, so those of you that like algebra may find it interesting to try it and see how it works. Perhaps even if math isn't really your thing, it's still worth checking out.

The project is here for anyone interested.


Thank you for your time.

Mathematical Mind-Reading Game

Worked for me! Is it possible to add the calculations on the screen for the person to avoid having them do math? It may help out with those of us that are challenges when it comes to numbers.

I was thinking on doing that, but I was afraid people may think that I'm cheating, identifying the number through a the calculator. People feel more surprised depending on two factors: When they do a lot of operations and have the trick work, and when they input less into the program.

But what I'm going to do is re-write the instructions today because some people found them too confusing, if that helps. For now what you can do is read the description, as the instructions there are more detailed then the vague ones in the game.

And if you enjoyed this mind reader, I've got another idea that I may turn into a mind reading game, since this one was such a hit, so stay tuned!
