Hi Laken. Nice of you to help your teacher. The instructions above do work, you just need to follow them properly. This process is not really for beginners though.

OMG. I love you for this. If I had money to donate I totally would! I really appreciate you giving this away for free. I however dont know how to use the auditory thingy. So I cant change the songs! Haha. I guess I’ll be searching for tutorials. But Im not the teacher, so hey, what difference does it make? Maybe she shouldnt be a teacher, considering Im doing her work!

Just found your game. I’m a middle school teacher. I can’t begin to tell you how much your game will help in the classroom. I created a pretty nice PPT jeopardy game but this is WAY better. I’m looking forward to the improvements you’ve stated above you will be adding in mid-year. Adding images and a timer (perhaps a display countdown or sweeping arm that reveals red area stop sign) will be a significant addition for a classroom environment. Images especially!!.
Thanks for the time and work you’ve put into this product and the willingness to share it freely.

Thanks Mick! I actually expected people from all walks to think of novel ways to use this – but I never considered firefighters…

I aim to include photos (JPEGs) and maybe Flash or Video in the next version, but that won’t be until around July-August – as I have multiple day and night jobs already. Glad you like it. Stu.

Stu,

Awesome tool! Believe it or not, I’m using this tool for firefighters as a way of revising particular theory topics which are usually fairly boring to do in normal everyday lecture formats. I’m keen to hear when you get round to being able to add images instead of MP3 files as this will be excellent for topography (pop up a map, name the missing street, missing hydrant etc etc)

Thanks for making things a bit more fun!!

Hi Jackie,

Glad you like it. When I made Jeopardy, I didn’t go for creating an identical copy of the TV game show, so I didn’t use their music at all. The sounds folder contains the sounds used in the game, the beeps and boops etc. At present, there is no option for having background music and there is no option for including a question timer. But these aren’t bad suggestions and I may add them into the next version. In the meantime, there’s nothing stopping you from downloading this: http://www.cello.org/Sounds/Whatis.wav and playing it on a loop in Media Player while you are running the game.

Hi Stu, thanks for a great game freeware. Can we put background music in the game? What is the SOUND folder for? Also, can we put timer when answering the questions? Thanks.

Hi schooltech. Three things:

1. Verify that sound works on your PC with other programs or websites like YouTube.
2. Did you run the Setup.exe that is in the Jeopardy folder? You MUST be logged on as an Administrator when you do it.
3. If you are running Vista, right-click the Setup.exe and choose Run As Administrator

Then try the sound in the game again. Please reply here to let us know how it goes.
