An interactive web-based tool to solve the dartboard puzzle in the Billiard Room of the video game "The Blue Prince". This open source application helps players calculate the correct solutions to the mathematical dart puzzles encountered during gameplay.
In the video game "The Blue Prince" by Dogubomb and Raw Fury, players encounter a recurring mathematical puzzle in the Billiard Room featuring a dartboard. This puzzle is not based on traditional darts gameplay, but instead requires solving mathematical equations based on colored dartboard segments.
-
Each color on the dartboard represents a different mathematical operation:
- Blue: Addition (+)
- Yellow/Orange: Subtraction (-)
- Pink: Multiplication (×)
- Purple: Division (÷)
-
The order of operations ignores traditional PEMDAS rules, and instead proceeds from the inner rings (closer to the bullseye) to the outer rings.
-
As players progress in the game, the puzzles become more complex, introducing additional symbols in the bullseye that modify calculations:
- Square: Square the result (^2)
- Diamond: Reverse the digits
- Red dots: Repeat the step multiple times
- Red X: Skip this step
- Red slash: Divide the result by two
- Squiggly lines: Round to the nearest 1, 10, or 100 (depending on number of lines)
- Partial color fill: Divide by three
This web-based tool helps players solve these puzzles with an interactive visual interface:
- Mark Segments: Click on dartboard segments to mark them with the appropriate colors
- Calculate Solutions: The app automatically performs calculations based on the marked segments
- View Results Step-by-Step: See the equation unfold from inner to outer ring with each step shown
- Get Final Answers: The app displays the final result that should be selected on the dartboard
The solver follows the same mathematical rules as the game, making it an ideal companion for players struggling with the more complex equations encountered in later runs.
