Context

Computer science and math majors often need to master binary, but traditional pen and paper practice can slow them down. At least I felt it was slowing me down

Learning That Pulls You In

I'm not sure if I'm being too nerdy, but I truly believe this is a great game, and that's evidenced by it being the only game I have downloaded on my phone.

It looks nice, you can play it anywhere, and it stimulates your brain. That sounds to me like the perfect combination.

Retrospective
The Challenge

The first version of the game wasn't visually great, and acknowledging that took some time.
