The Infernal Math Machine
1994

One of my first Director projects was a Math Game assignment. We had to choose a target audience to entertain with Lingo-scripted fun. I choose myself as an audience, and made a Frankenstein-ish contraption that shot out electricity while laughing maniacally at you when you got the answer wrong. Great fun. Graphically, I originally used DeluxePaint to make the outlines, then resized it and colored in Photoshop. This was the first time I used Photoshop, so the quality of the edging isn't so good. However, I loved the dodge and burn tools, so I started to pick up some shading technique. Overall, it still holds up well. Try the Shockwave version of The Infernal Math Machine!
