Okay, this is a game I discovered on Saturday that I’d just love to use in a physics class. It wonderfully illustrates the properties of velocity and momentum, and, to top it off, it’s fun. For Line Rider you draw a line, either simple or elaborate, and when you press play your little man rides it on some trike-like vehicle.
Naturally, if your track is well designed, Line Rider goes for a very long and happy ride. If your track is poorly designed, Line Rider crashes and you can start over. If you want to see how the game works, check the videos on You Tube. The game has become something of a cult classic and literally thousands of videos of people’s games have been posted. Some of them are very, very cool.
If you’re a physics teacher, this is worth a look. If you’re just someone who likes to have fun, this is still worth a look.
