I love the sound :). It's fun to "pop" the bubbles and it really does give an intuitive sense of the process of evaluating a statement. Give it a progressive framework of concepts to explore and embed it in a pleasing page and you might have something neat. Good job.

Thanks! Once I do some work on the parser I'll probably try and write up some basic Haskell lessons.

Love it, great job. Isn't open source great, building on top of each others' work? :)

I think this could be easily adapted into a tool for teaching children basic algebra.

See iOS app "DragonBox".

A couple of quick searches indicate that this is a well-regarded application. Thank you for your recommendation.

A quick review of your comments here indicate that you're an OK person. I enjoyed your review of the Highlander franchise, thanks.

I happen to be one of those liberty-or-death types when it comes to software licenses. Doubly so for educational software!

I ... I can't trust a company to educate a child. Their goals are just too much different than mine. [The pessimist in me says that] They'll never provide a copy of their internal design documents so that future educators could improve upon their craft.

A teacher would share his lesson plans, and a Free Software developer would share her code.

I can't send a dime to an educational software company because (apologies to various humans and their families in advance...) I want all such companies to dry up and cease to be, in order that teachers and Free Software developers would have a better chance to thrive.

Any relation to: youtube.com/watch?v=bw9CALKOvAI ?

You beat me to it, the first thing I thought is lovely Hyuna and this song

That looks totally unrelated.

Actually, no. Nor is it related to the Gamecube game Super Bubble Pop.

Or Fizzy Pop.

Or Popcorn Time.
