I have created an interactive game. Excel was the most appropriate tool to achieve this, as I was able to use the formula buttons to give the intended user instant feedback (e.g. =IF(E2=10,"CORRECT", "WRONG"). This was created by placing the cells into a formula. In addition I added a formula, taught to me in the seminar, that changed the sad face to a happy face when the answer is correct. This provided instant feedback for the user.
It was important to make the game appealing in order to motivate the user to interact with it. I chose add a school theme as it fitted with the purpose of the activity. I was able to find cartoon images that fitted well with the positioning of the sums. I used a chalkboard as a background which enabled the whole page to be filled with the theme. Below is the screen shot of the game.
