Project: Complete the Wolfram Expression

Goal of the project:

Design an interactive browser game in which you can improve your skill with the Wolfram Language. Starting from a topic of interest, the system will show you a Wolfram expression with a missing part to complete, with both the difficulty and fun growing with each level.

Summary of work:

Developing a web application based on Wolfram technology and focusing on exploring safe examples for the game in a dynamic self-configuring context. The application is ready for public deployment, but with such a vast number of examples, more tests are required to verify the stability of this alpha release.

Results and future work:

The application is now available in alpha stage here. The next step is releasing it on the Wolfram Cloud and making it available for everyone. The gamification aspect of the application is really minimal right now, but in the future it could be useful to add badges and karma points in order to increase the fun. Adding a multiple-choice answer option in the easy mode to balance the difficulty would also be an option.
