I know a bit about coding (php and asp mostly) so I don't know much

will tweak the work a bit myself.

I am looking to have a program written for me that will give students
random arithmetic problems, and tell them if they got them right or
not. I would like to be able to give this to my students, and have
them use it on there own computer. I would also like it to look nice,
with nice bid letters and numbers, possible a font around 24 or 36.


I'm going to get scathed for this but, here goes.
Since all you want to do is generate "random arithmetic problems", and
you know php/asp, why not just do this as a little web application, and
generate a web page?
Then the students don't need to run any software other than a browser.


I think that is a great idea. The original problem description
sounds as though the OP was assuming the students had
an internet connection, and HTML representation offers a
number of advantages (especially in terms of accessibility,
and ease of copying) over presenting the information in an
applet.

( BTW Paul - I'm p*ssed off that I didn't think of that
first, but not enough to 'scathe' you - hope you're not
disappointed.. ;)
