As an aside: here's an incredible game that teaches 8-year-olds algebra:

I attempted to see if a demo was possible along with the possible
cost of the application. It seems to still be in development, so
perhaps that is the reason.
Is there a description and an estimate of how much it costs.
SST (Super Star Trek) from the late 1970s (written in F IV)
was an excellent game to play on a PDP-11 terminal to learn
geometry. Any user had to be able to calculate graph co-ordinates
over a two dimensional galaxy of 8 by 8 sectors with each sector
having 10 by 10 elements for a total of 800 elements.
SST is available at dbit as one of the RT-11 games.
