Math Format

  • Relatively Extensible
  • Prototype Parser and Math Engine in PHP
  • Polynomials only at this time
  • Math engine is not yet complete, will have to discuss some ideas in meeting Tuesday
    • Ideas for storing expressions? i.e. log(x), (x^3), etc?
  • Notes to self:
    • Operations?
    • Auto-generate constants?
  • 'Barking up the wrong tree?' - MathML - http://www.w3.org/Math/
  • Encapsulate MathML inside our own XML wrapper
    • Unique identifiers per problem
    • Level ID for each problem
    • Answer to problem
    • Hints
    • Chances


<math_problems>
  <problem id="01">
      <problem_level>0</problem_level>
      <num_chances>2</num_chances>
      <mathml>
          <? actual generated mathml here ?>
      </mathml>
  </problem>
</math_problems>

Goal Format

Persistence of State Format

<state>
	<players>

                               </required>
				<obtained>
				</obtained>
