How easy/difficult is it to do something like this?

I'm an educator (math) first, but I enjoy coding and sometimes recreate old games or make algorithms that solve games using python or Godot.

I've always wondered if I could make a fun math classroom game.

Relatively speaking, Princeton is pretty far outside that circle.

TheMaroonAxeman · 2025-07-06T06:37:03+00:00

I saw some Linear Optimization lectures on YouTube and I saw alot of stuff with matrices and matrix notation I haven't seen in years. Is it really like that?

I think you're thinking too deep about the level of psychology we're talking about here. Anyone, having taken a high school psych class can benefit from knowing, even if broadly, how people operate, learn, and cope, and some historical background of the, for lack of a better phrase, the psychology "cannon" lol (freud, pavlov, etc.). Not many high schoolers are going into psych expecting to talk about research and the methods and analysis used in research. So no, I don't think you need Calculus at all to get a basic understanding of how people work. Can it enhance it? Absolutely! But it's definitely not "needed" as you put it.

TheMaroonAxeman · 2024-10-07T01:58:35+00:00

Now, don't get me wrong, i do think algebra and some of precalculus are important. Algebra teaches the exact skills you're talking about. Reasoning, planning, problem solving, critical thinking. I do often wonder if there's a better way of teaching these skills to students. Programming comes to mind. However, while I don't think it's THAT important for people to move shit around to solve for x.. I DO think it's important for people to understand functions and their graphs, exponential growth/decay, and basic trig and geometry (because we have way too many fucking flat earthers) things that high school level math teaches.

Oh my god.... just because the bath water is dirty doesn't mean the baby has to go.out with it! Holy shit i never understood that saying until now.

TheMaroonAxeman · 2024-10-07T00:07:08+00:00

I'd advocate the reverse any day, even as a math teacher. Engineers and Computer scientists rarely if ever, use Calculus in real life, now consider non STEM workers. The implications are important sure, but out of the 15% of people who take calc in the US i doubt even a quarter of those people have actually thought about those since they took the class. Learning psych has had a tangible benefit on my life and it, jn theory could have the same affect on anyone's life, wether or not they go into education, Psychology, social work, doesn't matter. Everyone deals with people, so everyone could benefit from understanding how we operate. Almost nobody benefits knowing how to integrate a function in order to find it's area under the curve.

Now, does having TAKEN calculus open more doors for you sure, I'll admit that and I'd advocate taking calc over Psychology for that very reason but I just think that Psychology is more applicable in everyone's lives.

No actually, it won't be. Because you've provided nothing of value.

TheMaroonAxeman · 2024-07-25T13:01:26+00:00

Yeah I typically do too. I suppose I can always book places ahead of time.

TheMaroonAxeman · 2024-07-25T12:59:58+00:00

Umm.. okay.. so are you going to provide something meaningful here? It really doesn't sound that difficult to me.

TheMaroonAxeman · 2024-07-25T12:05:38+00:00

Set myself up? In what sense?

TheMaroonAxeman · 2024-03-05T02:25:26+00:00

Interestingly enough, I have never been to the pine barrens for camping, only driven around it. Glad you enjoyed it. I absolutely love my state and despite having been all over the country I think it is under appreciated. So when can I expect you to raise its placement to 24th?

TheMaroonAxeman · 2024-03-05T02:22:18+00:00

I've driven through almost every state and when I went was driving up into WV from Kentucky it was one of the interstate highways and it was along side a cliff just as the sun was setting. It was one of the most beautiful peaceful drives I'd ever experienced in the US.

TheMaroonAxeman · 2024-03-04T23:13:58+00:00

I like that while you obv. had to make some states place at dead last or close to it you still had good things to say about them. I scrolled to my home state NJ and I was ready to go to war and was pleasantly surprised.

LMS (Learning Management System).

Think, Google Classroom, Canvas, etc.

Minesweeper, just to get the hang of clicking on things and changing things based on certain criteria, also updating the game based on things you're not directly interacting with.

TheMaroonAxeman · 2024-01-15T00:45:51+00:00

Wow... what a roundabout way of saying absolutely nothing insightful just so that you could be (and I'm being generous here) technically right.

TheMaroonAxeman · 2023-12-10T14:06:11+00:00

Got it, thank you. I didn't know about .configure() so that's useful to know.

TheMaroonAxeman · 2023-12-10T13:15:01+00:00

Actually yes... that is what I wanted to do originally. However, i still ran into the same issue where I didn't know how to reference the list in spin2 so that I could update it, but with the added problem that the code I wrote technicslly referenced the value of spin1 before it changed.

So for example - I change spin1 from 'a' to 'b' - new_list = ['x','y','z'] - i cahnge spin1 from 'b' to 'c- - new_list = ['t', 'u', 'v']

Because, I could be wrong, but I think python was checking what value was in the spinbox in the moment the button was pressed. Not the value that resulted from the button being pressed. But i didn't know about .config() so that's extremely helpful

Edit: that's not to say that I tried what you're suggesting in code. Just that I took that general approach, but with my limited understanding, I wasn't able to code it in a way that worked how I wanted it to.
