Devlog #1: Starting Math Combat! My First Game Jam

Hello everyone!

This is my very first devlog — and my first game jam ever! I'm just starting out in game development, and I'm super excited to share my project: Math Combat.

🎮 What is Math Combat?

Math Combat is an educational action game where you must solve math problems and defeat enemies at the same time. It’s a mix of logic and fast reflexes. I wanted to create something fun and a bit challenging — where your brain is your main weapon!

🛠️ Current Progress

• Basic movement system is working.

• Combat mechanic is being tested.

• I'm building the math challenge system (starting with simple operations).

• Still using placeholder art, but I’m planning something more polished.

🔄 What’s next?

• Add a system to generate random math problems.

• Improve the feedback when the player gets an answer right or wrong.

• Add enemies that react to correct/incorrect answers.

• Create a simple menu and sound effects.

💬 What I’ve Learned So Far

One of the biggest things I’ve learned so far was how to connect one scene to another and call functions between them.
For example, I learned how to trigger an attack function from one script and make it interact with another scene to execute a combo.
Before this jam, I had no idea how to do that — and now it’s working!

📌 Final Notes

This is a prototype version, and I plan to update it with more features during the jam. I'd love to hear your feedback or ideas to improve it.
Thanks for reading — and good luck to everyone participating in the jam!
