When Nature Called and Tech Ghosted
Picture this: I’m on the porcelain throne, phone in hand, ready for my daily “math-and-methane” ritual. My trusty multiplication app suddenly dies—ad network gone, paywall up. Pay to poop? Nope.
Enter ChatGPT
“Need a free web game: 20 problems, big buttons, timer, records. Still… occupied.” “On it,” said the AI.
What we built:
- Difficulty: Easy 1-10, Medium 1-20, Hard 1-50
- Huge numpad + backspace for clumsy thumbs
- Live timer & remaining counter
- Records (newest first)
- Tab-style Game | Records
- Inline problem: “7 × 8 = …”
After a few fiber-fueled test runs, Multiplication Throne Edition was born—no ads, no downloads. Play it now: mika.global/games/math.html.

Moral
When an app bails mid-dump, don’t subscribe—DIY with AI. ChatGPT turned toilet downtime into brain-training uptime. Now, if you’ll pardon me, the timer’s ticking. 🚽⏱️
