Calculator SWEAT! VR
GET FIT WHILE YOU CALCULATE!
➕ ➖ ➗ ✖️ ➕ ➖ ➗ ✖️ ➕ ➖ ➗ ✖️
Calculator SWEAT! VR is your all-in-one fitness and arithmetic center. It's easy to get your heart pumping while doing your homework, your taxes, and MORE!

IT'S EASY AS 1 + 2 = 3
➕ ➖ ➗ ✖️ ➕ ➖ ➗ ✖️ ➕ ➖ ➗ ✖️
All you need is an immersive virtual reality system, a 10ft by 10ft calculating area, a desktop computer with an NVIDIA GeForce™ GTX 970 or newer graphics card, noise-cancelling headphones, and unlimited time as you attempt to set all of these things up in your living room.
MOVEMENT: Walk around in your headset.
CALCULATION: Reach high and squat low and punch the buttons to use the calculator.
(Boring non-VR version: WASD or arrow keys to move, right mouse button to rotate, left mouse button to interact.)

Thanks @tom-panton. I fixed the links, though I totally don't expect anyone to set up their VR rig for this dumb game, lol.

I’m not sure if you were able to see it, but I played your game on my stream at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames tonight.
I found the calculator and was able to perform some simple calculations. I'm not sure if you had a goal for the game. I got stuck once I teleported to a specific spot that meant I wasn't able to see and engage with the calculator anymore.
Did you have any levels for me to perform specific calculations?
Is this your first VR game?

Hi, I tried your game, and I'm not sure if I got everything set-up correctly because the buttons were all over the place. But I was able to interact with them, so maybe that was the idea? Anyway, interesting submission, combining fitness and calculations, two things most people really don't like!
BTW, we’re still a couple reviews short for our own VR submission, so we appreciate any feedback: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/the-ultimate-magic-duelling-tournament-vr

This was a clever combination of genres. I found getting a workout playing with a calculator pretty fun... I wouldn't want it to replace my desk calculator though. ^_^
I looked for easter egg numbers (I remember planting those in my first calculator program), but didn't find anything. The teleport mechanic was strange (and felt like an unrealized feature), I ended up in the corner with no was out that I could find.
It could have used more button feedback, maybe a sound when the input was received, at first I did not realize the buttons were triggering. Nice theme usage, and good work!

Would love to play this if you manage to fix it!
