Description:
Mudball Wall is adapted from the commercial software program “The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis” by Broderbund. The software comes with no instructions and learners must accept the challenge of figuring out how to play. There are five colours and five shapes, several of which fit in specified locations on the Mudball Wall. The learner must launch the coloured balls of mud into a wall. First they stamp the mud ball with a shape and they choose a colour to go with the shape. The colours and shapes create a pattern on the wall.  The learner must deduce the correct combination to send a mudball flying onto the right numbered square. Each correct answer increases the height of the elevator. The object is to help the little zoombinis ride the elevator to the top. There are three levels to the game. Each level increases in difficulty, encouraging the learner to solve more complicated problems.  The fewer moves the player takes to move the elevator, the faster they win the game.  The player is limited in the number of moves for each level.
