FlickForge
The physics of the flick, for ages 9–14: predict where a struck disc comes to rest — after it banks off a rail (angle in = angle out), slows with friction, or passes its momentum to another disc (the carrom strike). You call the landing band, then a deterministic sim reveals the path. On-device; nothing leaves your device.
#0E7C86 Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
FlickForge's cast each embody one flick-physics primitive; mentor Coach Bevi sets up the shot and asks “where will it stop, and why?” (Illustrated portraits are a tracked P2 follow-on; R-WEB-CLONE-MAY-PRECEDE-IOS.)
Rebo
The bank shot — angle in equals angle out; a disc leaves a rail mirrored
Carrie
Momentum transfer — a moving disc stops and sends a resting one on (the carrom strike)
Frida
Friction decay — a disc slows steadily and stops; more power carries farther
Aimo
Aim-for-the-rebound — hit the rail on purpose to reach a spot you cannot hit straight
Nudge
The soft touch — just enough power, no more; overshooting misses too
Vecta
Direction — the aim angle sets the whole path before power ever matters
Coach Bevi
(Mentor) — sets up the shot and asks where it will stop, and why

Question kits
16 curriculum-aligned kits × 25 questions = 400 questions per app, mapped to recognized standards.
On-device AI mentor
FoundationModels-powered hints, feedback, and adaptive difficulty — all running locally.
Mentored by Coach Bevi — on-device AI, no data leaves the device.
How FlickForge handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
