Mather

Player notes

About this game

Mather turns arithmetic practice into a small reward game. Pick addition, subtraction, multiplication, division or a mixed set, then type the answer before the time limit expires. Successful answers earn imaginary money, which can be spent on the game’s prize descriptions. These are playful in-game rewards, not real purchases.

The numbered Main Menu separates playing, difficulty and reward settings, saved progress, instructions and status. Choose 1 for Play, then select the arithmetic category. The screen shows the current level, money and allowed time. A correct answer after the deadline is still recognised, but does not earn the timed reward.

This is Steve Moraff’s original version 1.0 shareware package. Its text presentation is deliberately simple and the questions and menus remain in English. The browser package disables the emulated floating-point coprocessor because the default setting produced invalid calculations; the original game files are unchanged. Use the game’s Load/Save menu for its own progress files, and the site’s save controls to retain those local files.
