Description
Flippy Bit And The Attack Of The Hexadecimals From Base 16
Hi
We at Q42 have teamed up with Russian psychologist Kateryna Afinogenova to create this experiment to test her recent study in which a group of 420 kids were shown to have a natural talent for doing bitwise operations and conversions to hexadecimals.
"Seven percent of the test group could bitshift" she said to Scientific World News in an exclusive interview, which caught our nerdy attention. Especially the following statement:
"While adults have trouble with binary numbers, from around the age of two, children can not only calculate on a binary scale, but even translate from binary to hexadecimal - and back."
We were able to contact her and collaborate remotely on this experimental game that allows kids to literally do that conversion. Afinogenova requested to omit a tutorial to further emphasize the adoption difficulty between adults and children.
We were amazed by the results. You can be amazed too! Play the game and find out!

Comments on Flippy Bit for Android
★★★★★
Perfect, except for the fact that the speed ramping rate it too high. By about 26+ score, even if you input the binary numbers straight away as soon as the hex numbers show up, the rockets only fire when the hex numbers hit the ground. (Basically the animation time for the rockets is too slow in my opinion). I would prefer to have longer games with higher scores, so I get more practice at higer speeds without having to restart so often.
★★★★★
I like the game, I'm just wondering why I'm converting hexadecimal numbers into unary numbers. Makes the title misleading. I mean where's the 2 or the -1? Maybe in the next version :P #ZeroIsNotADigit
★★★★★
Fantastic game! Learned Binary/Hex in literally one sitting. Suggestion: Rocket animation speeds up at the same rate the enemies do.
★★☆☆☆
I just wanted to be the first to give it 1 star, no hard feelings, great 👍 game
★★☆☆☆
Andrew's fault because he is a fool (his last name is schlacter)

No idea on how to play the game after trying for 30 minutes
★★☆☆☆
I got no tutorial, so I did not know what to do
