Comment on Show HN: I made a web game that makes practicing basic arithmetic fun

Comments

You can choose a diagonal segment but it doesn't count even if the concatenated digits give the M.N.

Ya so as others have mentioned the M.N. needs to be made with a full expression (at the least, a starting number, operator, ending number). Going to try making this more clear on the instructions.

Thanks for your feedback!

You need to have an operator in the middle, that is, 12 would be satisfied by a string of "5+7", not just by adjacent 5 and 7.

What about if there is a `1` next to a `2`, shouldn't you be able to click `1` and then `2` and it concatenates to `12`?

I think that's what parent meant.

I didn't think of that, but wouldn't that be more about string operations than math?
