Cool! :)

Thanks! :)  Blame me for the code, and Sam for the design and art. :)

Well, I'm presumably waiting for some OggVorbis music from Sam.
Down the road, it might be nice to tweak or replace the current sound
effects with stuff that's a _little_ mellower.  At the very least, make
all of the sounds fairly the same volume, so that it's less irritating. :)

Exactly.  It's very skeletal at the moment.  I'm very interested in
feedback from educators on what kind of options they'd like, and the best
way we can implement them before I go to far.

As Sam mentioned, there _are_ command-line options to override the
operators.  (eg, play with only addition equations)

D'oh!

See TODO.txt ;)  (or, rather, "docs/TODO.txt" now :) )
