Mapamatic is one of Soda's Projects, profiled in August 97
Live at the BBC since January 1998, Mapamatic Desert Challenge is a Java game designed to teach secondary school pupils basic maths skills.
Players have to cross a desert, encountering various obstacles on the way, and bring back treasure. They control their movement by numerically specifying angles and distances. Geometry, arithmetic and strategic planning are all exercised within a bright game-like environment.
