"The levels are difficult to control; you cannot specify maximum numbers, simply an arbitrary level number, and there is no facility for negative or decimal numbers."
Home Computing Weekly

Introduction

Enter your name and choose your level (1-50).

Your rocket will be on the launchpad. Get the first set of sums right and you'll Lift Off.

The second set will guide the rocket into orbit, and the third set are to land the rocket successfully. See how far you get!

Don't get an answer wrong or you'll lose the rocket and have to start again; they won't be the same questions the next time...

Notes To Teachers/Parents

This program is designed to test ability in the four basic skills of arithmetic, at 50 different levels from very simple to extremely complicated.

The object of the game is to launch a rocket, orbit, and land on the moon. A series of problems correctly answered will achieve each stage, create great motivation and desire to succeed. Progress can be identified easily by achievement at each subsequent level.

The questions are picked at random to suit the level (1-50) chosen for each game. There are, therefore, an enormous number of problems and there would be little or no repetition.

Suitable for ages 6-7 upwards.
