Hi Everyone,

I am part of a creative group developing an educational, touring museum exhibition called MathAlive for middle school kids opening at the Smithsonian Institute 3.10.12 (pi day).

We would be honored to feature some of the games shown on scratch within our Gaming gallery. The Gallery focuses on Video Games made for or created by kids. We would love to include games created by kids between the age from 8 to 16.

We are looking for games in Digital Format (PC/Flash). The hardware chosen to interface with the game can be adapted based on its platform. The game should include the following features:

• 1 to 2 player
• Family-friendly content (no violence, offensive language or images, etc.)
• The exhibit will have 3 games within the exhibit with the possibility of updates or integrating other games throughout the extent of the tour.

I would be happy to connect with you to tell you more about the exhibit and discuss how we might incorporate your game into MathAlive.

Thank You!

Sabrina

That sounds awesome! I don't really have any math-related games, but this is one of my most popular: Choose Your own Adventure

You are also free to take any of my other games.

I hope you find what you're looking for!
Thanks, and Scratch On!

You're welcome to use this, one of my games.
Anyway, good luck with your exhibition!

Hmm, you could look at my games. You could also tell me what you're looking for in a math game, and I could make it for you.

I have some pretty decent games:

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/undefeatedgames/1888890
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/undefeatedgames/1851385 I am going to edit this with a new motion system from another Scratcher as well as more tracks, characters, and even replay.

I also have a game (almost done) with Stencyl, which exports to Flash. I'll post a link here when I am done.

I think what you're doing sounds Awesome! I have only one project, and it's called Betiled. It's not as much as a math game as it is Art, but it does have some Mathematical Values. I put a lot of work into it. Hope you like it!

I made this hip 'n' chill game called Gammy!.

I'm on the upper end of you age range (16 in July).

A puzzle: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MoreGamesNow/1151256 (must use Java player)

A programming language made in Scratch: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MoreGamesNow/1999861 (I advise running in Turbo speed, but it should work fine if you don't)

Some of my platformers:

I am adding onto the Mario Kart game. It will be very advanced.

Hi,

Since you are looking for videogames which are 1-2 player and have friendly content to exhibit in the Smithsonian Institute, I wonder whether my Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - The Video Game will be of sufficient quality as it meets all the above criteria. It was 1st Top Viewed and 3rd Top Loved a few months ago and continues to be viewed frequently with over 2000 views.

Please excuse the graphics because I had to compress them in order to upload them on to the Scratch website. If you want an uncompressed version, I have one saved on my computer. Do let me know what you think of it and I would be truly honoured if you feature it in the institute! I don't know of many other videogames on Scratch that have long cutscenes and interactive gameplay so I hope I pass! smile

Hope to hear from you soon & many thanks!

But I thought 3/14 was Pi Day.

Oh, and I'd like to suggest my Gravitation project. Everyone who has commented on it loved it. It is a fun game made for all ages.

Click.

I have a few questions about submitting

MathAlive · 2011-11-07 11:24:52

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions and great games.
Our MathAlive Team will review each game and contact you in case your game fits into the show.
Again, thank you for all the replies and awesome games, we appreciate all your efforts. I will contact you with updates soon.

Here are my revisions to my Mario Kart game so far: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/undefea … st/2129993

I got an email from the Smithsonian that you guys are not looking for games to feature in the exhibit. Is this true?

Yes, but I got an email from the Smithsonian saying this was all a mistake.
