RFS: mathwar -- A flash card game designed to teach maths
Hi folks, After speaking with the maintainer I have adopted mathwar for the games team. It's kind of more of an educational game so if you don't think it belongs in the games team let me know and I'll adopt it myself. If someone has time to review and/or upload I would appreciate it. http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mathwar/mathwar_0.2.5-1.dsc Description: A flash card game designed to teach maths A GTK application that teaches kids (and adults) how to respond quickly to math problems using flash cards and timers. It includes a Computer player, where the player gets to decide if the Computer is right or not. Thanks, Barry deFreese -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Please extent the discription to specify what kind of math problem it teaches. Simple 1+5=? questions, algebraic stuff, or even graph theory or combinatorical stuff, statistics, ODEs, PDEs, ...??

I thought that at first when I read the description. As far as I know, a real-life flash card is a small cardboard card with image displayed to the child. Child is then requested to provide an answer to questions such as "What is the result?" or "What animal is this?" They're sometimes used in paranormal experiments, too :) --- Ivan Vucica -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It displays two 3x5 cards with either addition, subtraction or multiplication and the player must enter the correct answer within a given time.
