Description

Winner Corona App of the Week!

Factor samurai is a great way to learn times tables. You play as the samurai whose sacred duty is to cut all the numbers down to their prime factors.

You will be thrown one number after the next, cut them up if they can be factored into smaller values, if not, if they are prime, do not cut them.

Prime numbers are numbers that cannot be divided into small whole numbers. Two, three, five, seven, eleven, and thirteen are all examples of prime numbers. Four is not prime because it can be broken down in the whole numbers two times two.

Factor Samurai will reinforce the arithmetic principles of multiplication and division by continually challenging the player to remember which numbers can be factored into smaller values, and which ones can't.

As the player slices numbers into factors, those factors can be broken down further, until they are split into their prime factors.

Knowing that 63 is 3 times 3 times 7 or that 128 is 2 raised to the seventh power (7 twos!) is how you become a true Factor Samurai!

Factor Samurai is used extensively in the classroom. More than half of the recorded downloads are to public schools.

Un jeu éducatif divertissant

Factor Samurai est un jeu similaire à fruit ninja, le but est de couper des nombres qui sont factorisables et de ne pas trancher les nombres premiers afin d’avoir le plus haut score possible; le jeu est simple, intuitif et technique, surtout en mode maître, qui est vraiment challengeant. Je trouve intéressant le fait que, contrairement à fruit ninja, on ait des chances, ce qui rend le jeu moins punitif, puisque des fois, sous la panique, il peut arriver de toucher un nombre premier accidentellement. Je trouve aussi intéressant que l’on ait à trancher des nombres plusieurs fois ( par exemple 12 ce divisera en 4 et en 3, il faudra retrancher le 4 afin d’arriver à tous les nombres premiers). On regrettera des bugs, tels que des crashs ou encore le fait que, en mode maître le bouton rejouer ramène au niveau intermédiaire. Je n’ai également toujours pas compris à quoi servais le sabre doré. FactorSamurai excelle tout de même dans son objectif d’être un jeu éducatif amusant (ce qui est plutôt rare dans le milieu)

Fun and addictive

The gameplay style is a lot like Fruit Ninja. The one downside is that when numbers fly up off the screen and then return, it's too easy to accidentally hit them when swiping a different number. I have to avoid the top I the screen in order to survive. Otherwise it's a good game and a great way to learn primes! Bonuses like Fruit Ninja has (new weapons and backgrounds) would make it more addictive.

Fun and simple game

To be honest I haven't done math since I finished school, so my friend recommended this app as a fun way to "refresh number memories". I've been playing it frequently since. The game is easy to understand, quick to load, changes every round, and I don't feel shy playing it when I'm on on public transit :)
