Short: Educational math game Author: Chris Evans Uploader: Andy Church Type: misc/edu Architecture: m68k-amigaos Tested: Night Math Attack works on all systems tested to date: the stock A500 (512K), Want a game for the kids that's educational and constructive? Tired of them blasting aliens? Night Math Attack is a motivational game for practicing all 4 math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), created with help from an educational consultant. Faster speed and accuracy at these skills result in better problem-solving math ability and higher test scores. The program has up-beat music, quality graphics, and no requirement for fast hand control. Following the title screen and instructions, the player chooses which math operation to practice. The game screen has a question at the top, 4 answers down the left side, a helicopter in the middle, and a choice of sound on/off at the bottom. The player uses the joystick or cursor keys to fly the chopper up or down so it is level with the correct answer, and then uses the joystick or space bar to fire a missile at the answer. A message then reports whether the choice was right or wrong. The wrong messages are followed by the question with the correct answer to reinforce learning. Wrong choices are generated randomly so that students will no become used to the same choices after repeated plays. After 20 questions a "report card" gives the accuracy rate. There is a print-out option which prints wrong questions and out-of-time questions for further study, which requires the printer driver to be in the devs directory of the boot disk. Practicing math facts as little as 5 minutes a day usually results in a grade score improvement. Chris Evans 44 Shady Lane RR7St. Thomas, ON Canada N5P 3T2
