Breaking Math: Introducing the Meme Calculator 🧮💥
Have you ever typed 9 + 10 into a calculator and felt disappointed when it gave you the correct answer?
As software engineers, we spend a lot of time debugging code to make sure it follows logic perfectly. But recently, I decided to take a break from reality and build something that has absolutely zero respect for mathematics.
Introducing the Meme Calculator.
What is it?
The Meme Calculator is exactly what it sounds like: a simple calculator app that refuses to do math correctly. Instead of standard arithmetic, it embraces internet culture and "meme logic."
If you ask it to solve 2 + 2, don't expect 4. In this app, 2 + 2 = 5.
And 9 + 10? That’s obviously 21.
Under the Hood 🛠️
I built this project using the Godot Game Engine with C#. It was a fun way to experiment with Godot's UI system and scripting without worrying about complex algorithms—in fact, the goal was to make the algorithms intentionally wrong!
A fun little detail about the development process: No generative AI was used to write this. Every line of intentionally bad math was handwritten by me.
Features
Intentionally Incorrect Answers: It prioritizes comedy over accuracy.
Meme Logic: Supports classic internet equations.
Simple UI: Easy to use, even if the results are useless for your homework.
Try it Out
If you want to experience the frustration (and joy) of a broken calculator, you can check out the project and download the latest release on my GitHub.
