 This game lets users guess the correct operators in an equation with randomly generated integers, and see if their guess is correct. There are no limits on the number of guesses or the length of game play.
 
-Furthermore, since a new, random equation is generated each time, the game can be played a large number of times without the puzzles repeating (unlike a fixed-question trivia game where the users are more likely to memorise all questions).

 	- Including roots and parentheses in the equation would require some more rewriting of the concatenation and evaluation rules of the game.
 - **color palettes**: A different kind of customisation option would be to enable the user to choose their preferred color palette. There are 2 different ways of implementing this:
-	1. Users can select any color for certain elements in the game. This can be implemented with a some  color picker `form` elements.
