A demonstration of DragonBox.
This is brilliant, and has kind of been a dream of mine for a long time.
There is no reason why any kind of mathematics could not, in principle, be made into a video game.
Alligator eggs is a similar concept that could potentially be used to teach lambda calculus.
Without actual game levels I can't decide whether I'd enjoy Alligator eggs or not. In Manufactoria you have to build Turing machines. I doesn't sound like fun, but I loved it immensely.
Yep, though it may not be worth the trouble for some "advanced" maths where the number of people learning it drops enough for it not to be worth the effort.
Heck, most of the content of classes at school could be better taught through games.
