One of the games I’m currently playing is Kerbal Space Program. KSP is a sandbox, space simulator. It relies on some serious calculus, but you don’t have to do any math. Really you can just slap a bunch of rockets together and go from there.

The goal of the game is… There isn’t really one.You can do anything in it. Whether you want to make a bunch of planes and fly around Kerbin, or colonize the moons of Jupiter, it doesn’t matter. You can do whatever you want.  For example, my project this summer was the establishment of a Space Shuttle Program. It took a while and I also learned a lot about Nasa’s Shuttle program while doing research for it.

It’s also really pretty.
