Here’s a neat little game — Number 14 ($1.99) presents you with a series of four numbers, all of which you must add, subtract, multiply, or divide in order to end up with the number 14. If you’re given 1, 4, 6, and 7, for example, you’d subtract 4 from 6, multiply the resulting 2 by 7, and then do 14 times 1. Sounds like the kind of game that would drive me absolutely nuts after a while, but I could see it being especially fun for the math-minded.
What’s especially interesting about Number 14, though, is that it was developed by a middle school student! And it’s not even his first iPhone game! Jeffrey Barg also created Nim, and will likely go on to have a long and successful career in the games industry, at this rate. Damn these kids today with their technology, and their go-getter attitudes, and their self-published games. Totally not jealous!
