Thank you all for the great comments! Work on version 1.5 has begun and I would love to hear any thoughts you have on making this game better. Please read the Updates section for more info.

This is quite fun, Learning how an abacus works may not be exactly a 'entertainment' style game but as 'educational' games go this has gotta be one of the best. :)

The add by subtraction method means subtract the line below the number you want to add, then add the combined number. For instance, you have 4,400 on the abacus, you need to add 800, subtract the 400 first, then add 1200. It's SO much easier.
The only thing I recommend for this game is to not show the numbers at the top. We aren't really reading an abacus here, just learning how to use it. It might be more fun if it was a challenge.

I've always wondered how to use an abacus, but I'm still unclear on this "add by subtraction" idea.
