*Board Setup like the Original Arcade Game (one Maze currently, more to be added)

*If the player eats a Power Pellet (4 per level)

**Question Appears (4 per level -> 1 per Power Pellet)

**After the four Power Pellets have been eaten and answered correctly, a new 'level' (so to speak) begins

*Questions

**~~Some default ones to start off with (come with the activity)~~

**Random question generation

**GUI/Prompt for the teacher to input their own questions, saves as an XML (the activity will load the file)

**The answer will have a digit limit (thinking 3 digits)

**Types

***Multiplication tables

***Division tables

***Addition tables

***Subtraction tables

***Order of operations

***Inequalities (given a number, find which ghost's answer is greater than or less than the number)

***Basic Algebra problems (solve for x)
