   ... due to shortsighted, self-serving interests.

     Thats great - (once I remembered to allow javascript to run )
     My mental arithmetic is terrible so its nice not to be timed out

     Is there a level with limited time to answer or where the opponents health recovers if I dont answer fast enough?

     As for using AI, that seems a good way to learn and progress quickly as long as you get to understand the code and how it works which you clearly have

     Enjoy learning and than you for sharing the game and the story behind it

     I took the game for a spin and enjoyed it!

     I'm a lead developer of HTML5 educational games for sites like mathsnacks.com, so of course I really liked seeing a cool math game that's fun to play!

     Looks to me like your son's got the aptitude, interest, and skill to be a game developer. I hope he pursues it and enjoys making more games!

     Our studio runs a blog about educational games, including math games. Would you mind if we write a blog post about the game and link to it?

     Okay, thanks. I'll pass it on to our social media team as a suggestion for a post.

     Love seeing kids making math games for fun!

     @lonespelunker @persagen I'm the kids dad. Feel free to write a blog post & link to it. He'll be thrilled if more people play know about his game!
