==== Multiple balls ====

:<walterbender> yes... it is a simple game to learn fractions...

:<walterbender> give me ideas how to improve it

:<ChristoferR> mmm

:<ChristoferR> could put sums of fractions

:<walterbender> ChristoferR: yes... that would add to the difficulty.

:<ChristoferR> whit two ball

:<walterbender> that is getting complicated... to move two balls at once :)

:<walterbender> unless they move together, one balanced on top of the other?

:<walterbender> maybe a little ball in between with a + or -?

:<walterbender> could be fun :)

:<ChristoferR> yes
