Abstract :
“The Golden Sugarcane” is a mathematical game developed by Java and implemented on Android operating system. The game focuses on amusement and challenges. Within the game, a player needs to prepare his elephant by solving mathematical problems such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication to increase the ability of the elephant within the given time period. After that, elephants from two players will join the elephant duel. The player who has more scores from the preparation process will gain advantages in the duel. Ranking system will help players to evaluate and improve themselves over time. In addition, the player can post his progress on Facebook. Scores will be kept in a database on a server to determine the rank and the level of each player, which are used to generate problems to suit their abilities. The difficulty will be increased along with the skills of the player, as well as the growth of the elephant.
