Alexandria Library XYZ is a way to gamify your study sessions of physics subjects, it will help you wake up excited to study for long hours day after day, year after year as you work you way to a physics degree. It will also help you track your progress. Think of it as a combination of Stack Exchange and Animal Crossing.
In Alexandria Library XYZ you will be able to study a bachelors degree in physics, but for the moment we are focusing on covering an introduction to physics (a review of all high school physics) and developing basic gameplay. If you have a pen tablet soon you will be able create your own custom games and study any subject, using Alexandria as a way to gamify your study sessions.

Study in Alexandria Library XYZ and become a wizard.
Travel in a last airbender narrative type world, visiting villages to helping them solve their problems zelda style, and return to your wizard school Alexandria Library XYZ so where animal masters teach you more technical powers so you can do even stronger spells.
Each subject is a particular type of magic, and you will go to a particular village to learn it. Once you complete all the challenges in that village you will have mastered that subject, that skill, that particular type of magic. You will be able to measure your progress and collect more and more color coded math and physics skills, until you master all the branches of magic.
Learn by making fast and small choices, little experiments, and getting huge amounts of feedback, that way you can learn even if you are distracted or tired, but you can also make progress incredible fast by getting in the zone.
Tie mathematical concepts to emotional meanings, you will want to succeed in mastering a skill if the fate of the world depends on it and the love of your life, the princess, is at risk if you don't. Get motivated if you want to see what happens next, or you think summoning apples and other small objects is cool. Once your emotions are engaged your whole brain will be recruited, because is how it evaluates something is important. Once your emotions are engaged your memory will be working better, and you maybe even dream with mathematics. (seriously, this seems to be a somewhat common effect of playing this game).
Day/night cycles of 60/10 minutes will remind you of resting and taking a break after working hard. Food, water, and other rewards will remind you of eating and drinking in the real world to regain your energy, so you can keep studying in the Alexandria Library XYZ.
Collect scrolls and notes, and cure your own diary with valuable resources. Knowledge is power, it allows you to DO and have an effect in the world. Post and upvote useful resources to specific challenges.
Our objective in Alexandria is to lower the bar of physical and emotional excruciating effort necessary to learn math and physics, making it an extremely chill activity.
Imagine a world where 90% of people are scientifically literate. Where the common folk walking down the street actually knows quite a bit of math and physics, without never having to put expensive effort on it, but just because there was a very entertaining game available to waste time on. A world with people make informed decisions, people that have the capacity to engineer they way to a better life. Just imagine.

Hey i couldn't find a way to message you directly about this but the html file that you get when buy the game doesn't work i opened it in atom to find the issue and it seems to be that it displays the html of the game from the like you put in a frame but can not access what i assume is the PHP or what ever equivalent you are using while going through a local html doc. The issue can be circumvented by opening the doc in a text editor and copying and pasting the last link in the doc in to a browser then you can play it just fine. Thought it would be worth letting you know the game is also rather enjoyable best of luck with the project
Oops, it should be fixed now. Thank you! :D
