A Complete Rebuild

BEDMAS 2.0 represents a complete rewrite of the game from the ground up. The original version had a 15×15 board — we've expanded it to 21×21, giving you far more strategic space and dramatically more bonus cells to compete over.

The New AI Engine

The old AI picked moves randomly from valid options. The new AI actually evaluates every possible equation, scores it, and picks the optimal move. On Hard mode, it does this instantly — no delay. On Medium, it uses a weighted random selection that feels competitive without being unbeatable. Easy mode deliberately plays suboptimal moves to give beginners room to learn.

What's New in 2.0

• 21×21 board with expanded bonus cell layout
• Three AI difficulty modes (Easy, Medium, Hard)
• Configurable turn timers (30s to unlimited)
• Live global leaderboard with weekly and all-time rankings
• Account system — save your stats, track your win rate
• Hint system — unlock up to 5 valid equations per use
• Tile swap mechanic — return your rack and draw fresh tiles
• Dark and light theme support
• Fully mobile-responsive layout

Why We Rebuilt It

The original BEDMAS was a proof of concept — built in a weekend to test whether a math-based board game could be genuinely fun. The response was overwhelmingly positive, but the codebase had limits. The AI couldn't scale to harder difficulties, the board size was arbitrary, and the scoring system had edge cases we kept patching instead of fixing properly.

Version 2.0 is the game we always wanted to ship. Every system was designed for extensibility — which means features like daily challenges and real-time multiplayer can now be built on top of a solid foundation.

What's Coming Next

We're actively working on real-time multiplayer — play against friends or get matched with opponents of a similar skill level. Daily challenges are also on the roadmap, where every player gets the same starting board and competes for the day's high score.
