Math Factor Hopper This is a Board Game Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did run on a b/w 68030 processor under System 7.1. It was also tested on a big ColorScreen of a PowerMacintosh running System 7.1.2. The game was also tested on a Quadra with 68040 processor and a 13 inch Color Screen and System 7.1 by Mactivity. Click on a square, and then click on a square one away from it diagonally, horizontally or vertically. If the square "hopped" over is a factor of the first square, then the number is factored out of the first square and the remaining value is multplied with the destination square. That's all there is to it! Try to turn all the squares into "1" squares, to get the smallest possible sum for the sum of all the numbers on the board. VITALLY IMPORTANT VERSION 2.2 & ABOVE NOTES: You now can't hop with factors of 1 or anything red (color version) or gray (B&W version), but if you start a new turn all your redded-out "non-1" factors are made hoppable again. (A factor become incapable of hopping if it hops onto a 1 square, red square). This restriction makes you plan ahead and think a bit more than you had to in version 2.0. You now also can replay the most recent game to try to beat your previous turn count and factor sum. You will find that strategy is important to minimize the number of turns you need to get the smallest sum possible. Back to the Computer Games Index
