A new invention but sadly super difficult to play. So I added all sorts of tools to help but ended up with a game that is now too easy! But I learnt lots on the way!

Another ChatGPT suggestion. I hadn't encountered this version of Solitaire before. I found it good fun but hard to get right out.

I asked ChatGPT to suggest a game for me to create. This is the result. I'm particularly pleased with how it turned out.

A simplified version of the game of Go aimed at introducing beginners to the full game.

Once again there are many versions of this African game on the Internet but it presented enough challenges for me to have a go at creating my own version. I don't play very well so you should be able to win frequently.

And now for something completely different - a board game from 3,500BC!

There are lots of good versions already on the Internet but I was keen to try my hand at creating a reasonable computer opponent.

I've found that many players find it hard to some up with 5 letter words so I wondered if 4 letters might be easier. The answer is 'yes' but it is surprisingly harder to play - see what you think.

Inspired by Josh Wardle's creation, I was keen to create my own version. There are 746 common words to work through so that should keep you busy for a while!

After completing my website makeover (Jan 2017), I decided to try creating web versions of my popular iPad activities.

A simple but challenging word game.

Same game as Alpha 1 but this time we take it in turns to play against each other!

Very proud of this one. As far as I know it's completely original. It is inspired by Scrabble but I find it more challenging and, of course, it has the advantage of being 'single player'.
My best score to date is 47.

Based on the popular game of Yahtzee but it uses colours instead of numbers or letters.
I'm trying something new here - the info button produces helpful instructions which change as the game progresses.

Not sure where I got the idea for this one,
but it sure tests 'the little grey cells'!
There is a mystery 6 letter word and 6 clues to help you find it.
There are over 2,600 words awaiting you!

This game was inspired by the iPad app, LetterPress.
My main reason for copying it was the challenge of creating a satisfactory computer opponent.

I've come up with many novel approaches to mathematics during my long teaching career. This section will attempt to share the best of them.

This is not an original game but I've added a couple of twists that I hope make it more interesting.

An interesting variation on Solitaire which I find quite engrossing.

I think this version is always solvable.

One of the oldest and most popular solitaire games - I just had to make one too!

In this version there is no limit to the size of a block.

I found this iPad game quite addictive so I decided to create my own.
You can click on the title for the answer.

The extra letter makes this quite challenging at times.

A sort of numerical version of Scrabble. Takes a bit of strategy to achieve the target.

I just love this activity - just had to create a version that suited my style of play. Perhaps it will suit yours too!

I like to think I've created something original here - a moving jigsaw based on 360° panoramas.

This is a very old board game probably of Viking origin. It is easy to learn but surprisingly challenging to play well. Enjoy!
