First Principles: A Calculus Platformer

Calculus platformer

First Principles: A Calculus Platformer is a PC platformer where you run and jump across graphs of real functions. Each level is a curve, and its derivative shapes the platforms and hazards you encounter.

Levels and curves

The game has more than 40 stages, ranging from parabolas to Riemann sums. Later material includes AP Calculus BC, physics, and aerospace curves, with a Mandelbrot boss at the end.
