About the Game & Distribution

G.A. Learning is an offical branch of Team Legacy.

G.A. Learning's first release is Maths Craze, our NFTE Project, and is the reason why this blog exists. The games' target market is for children aged 8 upwards and teachers/parents with students/children who hope to mature and mainain their maths skills. The user friendly interface , colourfull images and cartoons will appeal to children, instead of the older maths' games on the market which hosts grey, drab colours which doent makes math look fun or intresting at the slightest.

Another difference between Maths Craze and other maths game is that Maths Craze has a different view on maths. Maths is basicly the solving of problems and encourage people to be more determind to reach their goals. Maths Craze believes in this and has a system of mini-games for children to play when they reach a certain number of points as a type of congratulations, thus making children more determind to get more points by completing questions and move on to the fun mini-games such as the classic Hang-Man.

The full feature list:
* Colourfull and fun interface
* Login system for children to track their progress
* Login system for teachers/parents/guardians to create/edit children and track their progress too
* Different levels for children, which is the difficulty of each question
* The questions in the game will be random
* Question editor for teachers/parents to add/edit/delete questions
* The .NET 3 Framework will be packaged in the installer
* Autosave of childs progress
* more to be added...

Xtreme Dev Work

Today was a Monday and instead of getting angry at school work, we decided to save our anger and take it out on our computers and boil underpressure for reaching the deadline.

Sweaty palms, neck collars lowered and sleeves raised to our shoulders, (well, elbows, but, I want to add some exaggeration for a nice drama effect) we began our Dev work. While Andrew was carefullly picking, mixing and changing designs for the game around, I was viciously banging commands and code into the game, crossing my fingers (one set of fingers is good; two sets is bad luck, thanks Andrew) and then stare blankly at the screen reading the text "Error", hoping that out of nowhere that Bill Gates will appear and lend a hand, complete my project for me, and hopefully chuck a few million our way ;)

After looking towards Andrew a couple of times, I noticed that he was nearing his goal : the design. Noticing this, I panic under pressure and sweat feverishly as I tap the final command into the game...press enter....click debug...and....Ta-Da! I managed to laugh (and dance inside may I add) and punch save. The game editor was completed and half of my work was done ! As I cross off what I have done, I look at what I'm to do and to my pleasure, it aint alot of work :)

After saving our progress, Andrew headed home and have planned for our next Dev Day to be tommorow after school.

Stay Tuned,

G.A. Learning
