The word "vortex" seems to be popular among pseudo-math/science people; we've run into some pretty bogus stuff under the heading of "Vortex Based Math" and "The Solar System is a Vortex!"

We've written up an analysis of both of these crackpot ideas, and you can find them here: The Vortex.

Also we created, for those who enjoy geometric figures, our very own Vortex-N-k app, which allows you to create all sorts of pretty designs just be changing a couple numbers.

In the process of updating the site, a database table containing high score lists was not copied over, so the high score lists disappeared for a while.  Those lists have now been copied over, so the high score lists are functional again.

If your favorite game doesn't have a high score list, play the game once, and the score lists should update.  Please let me know if that doesn't happen!

Thanks,
Doug

It may seem like nothing has been updated here in awhile, and in a sense, that's true.  However, we've been working on some behind-the-scenes changes that will improve the overall speed and usability of the site.

We're in the process of posting those changes to the site, and while we're in process, some things may not work exactly right.

In other words, for a few days it may seem like the site is regressing instead of progressing!

But have no fear - we're hard at work making the site better.  Soon there will be more games converted over to the beta version.

Step One

Pick an image you want to use as the basis for your maze.

Step Two

The site converts the image into a black and white image, then highlights pixels which are not attached to the main body of the pixels.

Step Three

Connect or remove red pixels, then choose a starting and ending point for the maze.  Now sit back and relax while the site calculates a path through your image.

Step Four

Print your maze!

This feature is still under development, and will be available to PRO MEMBERS.  If you are testing the site, and would like to sample some of the PRO MEMBER features without paying the subscription fee, contact us any time during October, 2014, and we will set up your pro features as soon as they are ready!  Contact: dtwitchell@virtu-software.com

Good morning!  After creating the printable word game worksheets, creating the first of the MATH worksheets seemed like a good next step.  You can find the first of the new worksheets here:

Fraction Operations Printable Worksheets

As with the word games, you have increased flexibility for designing your print layout.

Stay tuned, because the MAZES section should be next, and if all goes well, there will be an exciting new maze feature that didn't exist on the old version of the site!
