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!
If I understood what it was completely about that would be good but it is too weird for me.
I wanted to see how well I could learn how to play this game and bitshift, and at first I got frustrated by dying over and over as I tried to figure everything out. It became a lot of fun though once I knew what I was doing. It would be really cool if there was something where you could put in your age and compare how you did to people in your age group and people outside of it like the kids from the study. I'm curious to see if I (an adult) learned how to bitswitch as quickly as the kids did.
This game is so fresh yo, just look up lessons on how to do the hexadecimals and you'll be good ??
I found this game around April Fools day and was so happy to find it in the store. If your a developer or artist and want to learn I grain hex into your brain play this!
I downloaded this app so I could learn hex better. It did the trick, but I found out how addictive flippy bit is. My annoyances are, not being able to flip two or more bits concurrently. I play it two handed, come on, let me type in both numbers at the same time. Second, the missiles take way too long to fire. The animation is annoyingly long and I keep watching myself get a game over even though I typed in the correct value.
This a unique and fun game. Like Pokémon Go, it was originally an April fool's joke, but it's not too hard to find out how to play it well. Earlier today, I had some free time and decided "I'm going to learn how to be good at Flippy bit!" I made a quizlet to learn the hexadecimal to binary conversion, and after half an hour, I got between 10 and 20 points every time. ???
Fun but unfinished. There's too much lag between getting the bit and launching the missile. There should be a free play mode. The buttons are a little slow to respond sometimes. I hope they make an update in the future. The object of the game is to make the 8-bit binary number that corresponds to the 2 digit hexadecimal number on the back of the bad guys.
I love this game. It is addictive and fun, but some people don't understand it. That does not mean that it isn't good. So don't give it a bad review.
