Example

The animation below shows the process of solving a level with the objective result 4. Available ingredients are the numbers 1, 2, 3, as well as the operators times and minus:

The level definition for this example looks like this:

<touchop>
 <test domain="algebra" win="4"/>
 <op name="minus" xy="100,200"/>
 <op name="times" xy="200,300"/>
 <atom value="1" xy="100,100"/>
 <atom value="2" xy="200,100"/>
 <atom value="3" xy="300,100"/>
