Math Genius Quiz

About

# MathGeniusQuiz∞ A challenging mathematics trivia & problem-solving quiz for iPhone. Ascend the ladder of mathematics — from grade-school arithmetic to the edge of calculus — and become a **Mathematical Genius**. Built in **Swift + UIKit**, 100% programmatic UI, **UIScene lifecycle**, portrait-only, **iPhone only**, targeting **iOS 15+**. ## Features **Three ways to play** - **Practice** — pick a branch & difficulty and solve a curated set of 8 problems. - **Daily Challenge** — one mixed set per day, identical for everyone (seeded by the calendar day) and playable once daily. - **Genius Gauntlet** — an endless, escalating survival mode with **3 lives**. How far can you get before you run out? **Deep, rewarding progression** - **Five mathematical branches** you unlock as you rank up: `x²` Algebra · `△` Geometry · `∫` Calculus · `ℤ` Number Theory · `π` Famous Mathematicians - **Progressive difficulty** — four tiers: Arithmetic → Intermediate → Advanced → Genius. - **Genius levels** — score ≥ 80% (or survive 10+ in the Gauntlet) to level up, unlocking new branches and legendary cards. - **12 achievements** — badges for milestones (First Steps, Century, Perfectionist, Unstoppable, Weekly Scholar, Curator…). - **Daily streaks** — keep your streak alive by returning each day. --- ## How to Play 1. **Splash → Library ("The Academy").** Shows your genius level, score, solved count and daily streak, plus the game modes and the branch chalkboards. 2. **Choose a challenge:** - **Daily Challenge** — a 10-question mixed set, once per day. - **Genius Gauntlet** — endless survival; a wrong answer or a timeout costs a life. - **A branch** in the Mathematical Library — an 8-question practice quiz. Only *Algebra* is free; the rest unlock as your genius level rises: | Branch | Unlocks at genius level | |---|---| | Algebra | 0 (free) | | Geometry | 1 | | Number Theory | 2 | | Calculus | 3 | | Famous Mathematicians | 4 | 3. **Solve the problems.** A timer runs per question (longer for harder tiers). Correct answers glow green and earn `base points + time bonus`; wrong answers shake the board and reveal the solution. Stuck? Use the **50/50 hint** to remove two wrong answers. 4. **Learn as you go.** Every question shows a short explanation. Revise anytime in the **Formula Library**. 5. **Rank up & collect.** Strong runs earn genius levels, which unlock new branches, **legendary mathematician cards** (tap to read their story) and **achievements**. 6. **Track your growth.** The **Statistics** screen shows per-branch mastery, streaks and your badge collection. 7. **Chase perfection.** A flawless run — or a long Gauntlet — crowns you a **Mathematical Genius**, celebrated with an infinite series of rising formulas. ### Scoring - Base points per correct answer scale with difficulty (`100 · (tier + 1)`). - A time bonus of `5 × seconds remaining` rewards quick thinking. - Best score is tracked **per branch**; the Gauntlet tracks your best survival run. ### Settings - **Sound & Haptics** — toggle all feedback. - **Preferred Difficulty** — the tier every new practice quiz starts at. - **Reset All Progress** — wipes levels, cards, achievements, stats and scores (confirmed). ---
