Little Professor

How much is what now?! My latest mod is the 1976 backwards calculator math game, Little Professor!

Included in this TTS mod are:

• The Little Professor calculator, a high poly object with full UI interactivity. The game is fully playable! Select the level using the button on the right side of the unit. Set the operator and go!

• A completely remastered, print-quality PDF of the instruction booklet.

Feel free to add the toy to your Saved Objects library. None of the code is Global, so it should operate in any environment.


THE WHAT-I-LEARNED SECTION

This was kind of a proof-of-concept for me towards writing a V2.0 revision of my Dark Tower mod. That mod was created before TTS introduced things like attachable UI elements.

This mod has a custom created LCD digital font embedded in a Unity AssetBundle, as well as the buttons sprite. All of the Lua code is embedded in the object; there is no Global scripting of any kind. As such, this toy can be added to a user's Saved Objects library and retrieved at any time without requiring the game "shell" to be running the way that the Dark Tower mod does. The tower unit itself in that mod is actually five objects connected together (two LCD units, the column, an audio AssetBundle, and the tower shell). This mod worked really well and I think I'll be able to get the Dark Tower to a one-object toy sometime in 2025.

I ran thousands of simulations of Little Professor in MAME, as well as examining the memory space and reading the disassembler. This should be as close to the original code as one can get.

There's no load/save variable packet; loading a saved game with the Little Professor inside will reset the unit back to its original "on" state. I may add this later, but I didn't really see anyone clamoring for saving a ten-question game halfway through to get back to.
