The Array Game is designed to help early learners build and expand on their multiplication skill for the numbers 1-6. Players use a simple grid that visually represents the calculation.
Multiplication facts can be represented as an array. An array is a rectangular or sqaure arrangement of objects, counters or tiles in equal rows. The game reinforces the array model of multiplication. This game can be played many times and will support students to gain confidence in using the array model for multiplication and to discover that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not affect the product, this is the commutative property/law.[1]

- Implement the game to allow human-to-human competition between 2 players or human-vs-computer competition.
- Allow the user to choose the color to be used to fill in the grid

- Animate the rolling of the dice
- Play a sound to simulate the rolling dice
- Add a graph to the leader board to show the number of times a number has been rolled.
- Support dark/light mode
