Math Quiz: Math for - What is game design?

  1. You build a flat, square platform in your game. One side of the square is 10 units long. What is the area of your platform?

    10 units10 unitsArea = 10 x 10 = 100 square units

  2. A game character starts at position X=5. It moves 7 units to the right. What is its new X position?

    Start (5)12 (5+7)

  3. A health bar in your game is 100 units long. If it becomes half as long, how long is it now?

    100 units50 units (100 / 2)

  4. A rectangular sign in your game is 8 units tall and 15 units wide. What is the area of the sign?

    15 units8 unitsArea = 8 x 15 = 120 square units

  5. A treasure chest is at X=20, Y=10. If you want to move it 5 units to the left AND 3 units down, what are its new X and Y positions?

    SVG Diagram Needed: Show a 2D coordinate plane with an initial point at (20, 10) labeled 'Start'. An arrow moves 5 units left to (15, 10) labeled 'X = 20 - 5 = 15'.

    (Keywords: coordinate plane, x-coordinate, movement, subtraction)

    SVG Diagram Needed: Show the same coordinate plane as the previous visual. From (15, 10), an arrow moves 3 units down to (15, 7) labeled 'Y = 10 - 3 = 7'. The final point should be labeled 'End (15, 7)'.
