[olug] All versions of my free math games can be found on the web

Steve, for multiple players, you can make up the rules of the game. Then tell me how your game works, so I can learn from you. 

You might also enjoy reading this article I wrote for opensource.com -- which explains my life's philosophy.

Opensource.com is no longer accepting new articles, alas, but it has a wealth of interesting articles there from circa 2010 to 2021.

Yup, I'd love to see web versions of this game - especially one that makes use of all the pixels on a 4K monitor -- with a huge font -- 96 points or somesuch. 

Going big is the way to grab students' imaginations. 

If anyone would like to embark on a web version of this free game, I'll talk it up and link to it from [ http://www.pairsmathgame.com/ | http://www.pairsmathgame.com ] 

I might also write a magazine article about the web version of the game. There are several library magazines that print whatever articles I send them.

Very cool game Phil, 

Question: With multiple players, what are the rules of the game? 

I'm thinking seriously about filling the rows and columns with a Python 
or Free Pascal (for Lazarus) program. This way there would be a 
different play matrix for each game. But of course I need the rules for 
two or more players. 

I'm looking forward to my wife and me playing this game, perhaps with 
some of our friends if I can make it into a web based game. 

Thanks,
