Math Ace is an educational game for children aged eight to fourteen
where players use math and logic skills to help Bit Bot defeat a
rampant computer virus. The game is played on a single screen on a
grid comprising 80 microchips. The aim of the game is to surround the
virus with Bit Bots before the virus can reach the edge. The walling
in is done by clicking any chip on the grid and then a direction. On
the left side of the screen math questions also appear and they need
to be answered correctly for the chip to be placed. A score is then
also awarded. If questions are not answered quickly enough the virus
will start eating unoccupied chips, attempting to reach the edge of
the grid. The process is repeated with every level.
Clicking a chip on the board can also trigger a duel where the virus
will challenge the player in of four possible activities: Angle
Cannon, Bubble Gum Machine, Hide and Seek, and Function Shoot. If the
duel is lost an egg is placed on the board and if there already is an
egg it will hatch. There are two difficulty levels, influencing the
math problems.
The Smart Lab section provides theory and exercises about basic
concepts, arithmetic, the real world, charts and graphs, probability,
geometry and algebra. (MobyGames)
