Number Munchers was an educational game created by MECC to teach basic math skills in the 1980s to 1990s.
About Number Munchers (wikipedia)
This site is dedicated to the classic game that helped me memorize my multiplication tables.
A simple 5k version of the game as a DHTML page was created for a 5k contest and then not entered. Some friends actually enjoyed playing it again so I decided to not let it go to waste and here it is.
If there is enough interest, some volunteer hours can be put towards enhancements-- especially if any schools are interested. contact
For those asking how to contribute, use the contact form. A simple small website about number munchers is something I've not had the time to do. Javascript programmers with freetime who are familar with jQuery can help on version 2. Retro style tiny graphics donated would be useful, esp for a few more monsters. I'd like to keep muncher looking the same but I'm open to minor changes. Volunteers are few and my time limited but due to the amount of positive feedback there will eventually be a version 2, with this version co-existing. Anybody who can help inmaking sure this works well on the OLPC would be useful! The project is GPL, I fund it and will never make major changes without prior warning so school IT can feel safe letting it thru their firewall.
