Introduction to the class!

Hi my name is John Fox and I have been a student here since January of 2010.  I was a manager in Automotive Retail before I decided to go back to college.  I enjoyed the business but I went as far as an high school education would take me. I currently have a 3.95 GPA and I have thoroughly enjoyed my studies at West Virginia University at Parkersburg. I have decided to do a Math game.  Every time I am in a math class, all I hear is "how is this skill going to benefit me in the future?"  I want to create a game which will use math principles in a real world setting.  I was thinking of designing a game where you have to figure out how much of "x" you can by with "x" amount of dollars.  I was also thinking of designing a game where the player has to solve a puzzle to get the right answer by using the correct symbol variable for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I did create a flash game last semester that I called "Cannonade".  Please feel free to view and play on my social space page.  For a first attempt at Flash Programming, I thought I did a pretty good job.  Teacher thought so too, got an A.  If anybody needs any help, I do have a flash book for reference we can look at and I am more than happy to help with other students when I can. I have several links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_games  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Challenge , http://www.math.com/students/references.html to  help me with my research. If anybody else is doing a math game, I would like to talk to you so we can bounce ideas  off each.  Thanks!
