  • Abstract
    Commercial games and educational games are different due to the fact that, the purpose of the first is fun while the second are primarily educative. Educational games may use motivational features of classic video games in order to help the students improve their learning skills in specific educational subjects. In this paper, we present a browser-based snake game, which is associated with the arithmetic operations context. Furthermore, the game contains adaptive attributes and provides students useful guides to overcome possible weaknesses.
