Math Wars

What it does

Math Wars isn't just your typical math skill, with Bonus Rounds, and a few Surprises, learning has never been so fun! Whether you're challenging yourself or battling others, Math Wars is a great way to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

How I built it

I used NodeJS / Lambda as the logic controller for the game, and I used DDB to store the users previous settings.

Challenges I ran into

I first started with the idea of scoring being based on the time it took the user to answer the question. Although I knew when my lambda was called, I couldn't be sure of network latency or how long it actually took Alexa to ask a question so I decided to go a different route, that's when I added in bonuses.
