This math game was designed by Erin Maher (age 10) as a Visual Basic program. In the VB program, two players compete to capture a majority of the spaces by answering math questions. Chris and Erin ported the program from VB to VBScript so that the game could be played on the Internet. Because the game uses VBScript, you must use a web browser that supports this language, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0. In the web version, player 2 is the computer.
