## Description

Use tools to measure time, displacement, velocity, and acceleration in order to avoid obstacles and progress through exciting worlds!

Phys 1 is a puzzle adventure that requires players to use tools in order to solve physics problems. Learning is enhanced through quick experiential feedback. Players must learn and adapt if they are to advance through the game. Obstacle randomization allows for unique problems for each player! 

Physics topics included kinematics (big 3 equations).

Features:
-Use the time tool to accurately measure how long it takes objects to go from point 1 to point 2.
-Use the displacement tool to measure the distance (and direction) between two points.
-The velocity tool is later unlocked to measure the speed (and direction) of quickly moving obstacles.
-Use pres-set launch values and measured variables in a drag-and-drop equation to solve for unknowns.
-Explore free fall and projectiles by solving for unknowns in order to make goals and predict time of flight.
