Faraday Game - Casual Physics

Hi! I’m here to share my new interactive physics game with you all!

Faraday Game is an interactive experience inspired by Faraday’s Law, allowing players to explore the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. The goal is to move a magnet to alter the magnetic flux in a coil, generating electric current to light up a bulb. Test your skills, maximize the light intensity, and learn about one of the fundamental principles of electromagnetism in a fun and accessible way!

Features:

  • Simple Interaction: Control the game with a single button or screen taps, ensuring accessibility and enjoyment.
  • Two Game Modes:
    • Angular Movement: Rotate the magnet in front of the coil.
    • Linear Movement: Move the magnet vertically through the coil.
  • Scoring System: Voltage generated in the coil converts to score:
    • :3rd_place_medal: Bronze: 24 V or more
    • :2nd_place_medal: Silver: 60 V or more
    • :1st_place_medal: Gold: 110 V or more
  • Languages Available: English and Portuguese.
  • Easter Egg: Use multiple touches (mobile) or keys (keyboard) to unlock “hack mode” and generate much higher voltages!

Learn Through Gameplay:
Faraday Game demonstrates Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction, which states that the variation of magnetic flux in a coil generates an electromotive force (EMF), producing electric current. Faster magnet movements increase the magnetic flux variation, resulting in higher voltage.

How to Play:

  • Objective: Move the magnet as quickly as possible to maximize voltage and light up the bulb with maximum intensity.
  • Controls: Press the on-screen button (or use multiple touches or keys to explore “hack mode”).
  • Game Modes:
    • Angular: Rotate the magnet in front of the coil.
    • Linear: Move the magnet vertically through the coil.
  • Scoring: Generate voltages above 24 V to earn medals and push your limits!

And now my mouse click is broken, thanks ! :joy:

Nice project :slight_smile:

113V angular

120V linear

you have an issue though that the high score/voltage doesnt reset when you go back to the home page and enter a new game , choosing linear or angular … it just keeps the old score there.

Also you should consider keeping the highscore on page reload. No need for a backend if you dont have one , just store it locally.

@Tricotou … you can use the W key on the keyboard :wink:

Thanks ! It orks very ell ! :joy:

Thanks for the feedback! :raised_hands: The score doesn’t reset because the difficulty is the same in both modes, but I really like your idea of storing the high score locally, it’s a great way to improve the experience! I also have public leaderboards in some games, but the issue is moderating the entries. I’ll definitely consider this for future updates!

149V linear… With the click AND the W key :wink:

You found the secret hack! :joystick: Using both click and W key is the Easter egg way—120V is about max for a normal human! :zap: Nice work!

On touch devices, here’s a fun hack: use two fingers on the button—it grows bigger, letting you use all your fingers! :joy::zap::iphone:

230V using W and mouse :wink:

Oops! Another mouse sacrificed to the Faraday Game! :sweat_smile::zap:
Thanks for playing! :heart:
