The title screen. This game runs in a fixed sized window and does not expand to fill the screen, instead it paints a wide black border

This is Professor Doodles. He appears on screen after the title has been displayed and introduces the game.

This is the main menu. There's not much to it, the classroom is where the bulk of the work is done, the castle is purely about practicing co-ordinates, that leaves just help, credits and exit.

The Cartoon Classroom. This is where all the algebra is taught, the player selects a subject before entering

This is the classroom and it is the same for all subjects. Despite having Mr Pez and Slinky among the objects on the shelves the only hot spots are the three words on the blackboard
thumbnail
Selecting the RULES link on the blackboard opens a screen on the Professor's TV. This is the basic concept of algebra which has been quite neatly summarised

The EXAMPLE link on the blackboard brings up an animated example. Here the professor is explaining that when minus six is transferred from one side of the equation to the other it changes its sign
thumbnail
There are plenty of sample problems in each section. The player can either enter an answer or they can step through the process of solving the problem

The Castle of Co-Ordinates is a series of rooms with multiple hotspots and short, fun animations
