CONCEPT OVERVIEW:

• "battle arena": opponent, player, math question in the middle, text box to answer question, time limit bar
• grade = score, as you correctly answer your opponents grade goes down until they have a 0
• in battles, player can choose what type of math they are solving in a menu at bottom (+, -, *, /) --- the game gives them time to prepare when they change math type (3, 2, 1...)
• overworld... player movement, beating back of class kids to front of class (smarter) -- kids at desks are the ones that will fight you
• random characters in overworld with dialogue on edges of class
• start with 50/100 health (F), each fight levels you up one grade and gives you more health
• missing an easy question hurts less than missing a difficult one, but difficult correct answers do more damage
• final boss is teacher: teacher chooses what type of math you must do (you go into this fight with an A)
