About Arc Academy
Aim it, slide it, or type it — watch the parabola draw, then fire. A trajectory puzzler that lets you play at whatever level of maths you actually want: drag to aim and see the curve, slide the coefficients and watch it bend, or type the equation outright and prove it. Difficulty scales from intuition to algebra, so the same app works for a ten-year-old and for someone who genuinely enjoys quadratics.
Features
Three ways to aim
Drag the launcher, slide the coefficients, or type the formula. The same shot, expressed at three different levels of understanding.
The curve is the feedback
The parabola draws as you adjust, so the relationship between a number and a shape stops being abstract — you watch the coefficient bend the arc.
Difficulty that actually scales
From "drag until it looks right" up to clearing an obstacle by typing the coefficients. The floor and the ceiling are a long way apart on purpose.
Level packs and stars
Seven packs with rising difficulty, stars for efficiency, and a daily challenge board.
Balls and trails
Cosmetics earned by playing, so a good shot leaves a trail you chose.
No ads, no accounts
This version has no advertising SDK, no analytics and no network calls.
About Arc Academy
You have a launcher, a target, and something in the way. What you do not have is a slider labelled power and a prayer.
Instead you choose how the shot is described. Drag the launcher and watch the parabola follow your thumb. Slide the coefficients and watch the same curve bend. Or type the equation and fire it, which is the point at which the game stops being about aim and starts being about algebra.
Three ways to say the same thing
The three input modes are not difficulty settings, they are three levels of description. A ten-year-old drags. Someone a few years further along slides the coefficients and starts noticing which number does what. Someone who genuinely likes quadratics types the whole thing and clears the obstacle in one shot.
The curve draws live in all three, which is the whole teaching move: the relationship between a number and a shape stops being abstract when you watch the number bend the shape.
Packs, stars and a daily
Seven packs of rising difficulty, stars for efficiency rather than speed, and a daily challenge board. Balls and trails unlock by playing.
