#2Back in the ‘80’s there was a game called “Rocky’s Boots” that taught logic to kids.

#4When you click a number or press a key, the number should be highlighted for a short time.
In some other games, after a wrong try the number disappear and in other games the number gets semitransparent and disabled. It makes the later tries easier, but my small daughter learned to bruteforce the tests :) .
Sad cats when you get a wrong answer? Perhaps it's a bad idea.
Super happy cats when you get the right answer?
What about a mixed level, where you get some samples of the last two levels? (The last levels are not so easy.)
What about dogs? I like dogs. :)

Nice! Logic gates no less. We will have to spin up dosbox and try it out if possible.

#6I hit a bug though - level 7 generated a "how many cats are spinning" question whose answer is 10, but there's no "10" button and trying to type "1" "0" fails at the first "1". But I see `cats_for_level` allows there to be `level + 5` cats, so is there some way to input an answer greater than 9?
Also, is it not confusing to have cats that are "also" ducks, rather than have a different kind of cat? Like cats with different-colored noses or have their mouth open. (In that puzzle 5 of the spinning cats are cats and the other 5 are ducks. But the dev console log does say it wants 10, not 5.)

#10Kids of 2 to 4 shouldn’t be using screens.
