- The program was written to help my 6 year old with addition and
- subtraction. The object of the game is to launch rockets into orbit by
- answering addition and subtraction problems. Colored circles,
- triangles, squares or rectangles are displayed to help arrive at the
- correct answer.

- Rules of Play
- ====== == ====
- The object of the game is to launch up to 5 rockets into orbit by
- answering addition/subtraction problems. A correct answer causes a
- rocket to gain altitude. If an answer is incorrect:
-
- 1. A beep will be heard.
- 2. 1 penalty point will be assessed.
- 3. If the rocket is on the launching pad:
- a: it will vanish
- b: 5 penalty points will be assessed.
-
- Right/incorrect answers are converted to an efficiency rating. An
- efficiency rating of 80 percent moves to more difficult problems.
- An efficiency rating of less than 80 percent will result in less
- difficult problems.
-
- Mathmatics problems deal with :
-
- a: Addition
- b: subtraction
- c: both
