- .description
- 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.
