Hi Kelvin. You need to have a look at this. It might be exactly what you need – it’s another one of my programs. http://studentresponsenetwork.com/2009/11/29/playing-quizboxes-with-srn-clients-as-buzzers/ – Up to 5 clients, it’s completely free of charge. And those clients can be PCs, Macs, Linux, notebooks, netbooks, iPads or iPhones or iPod Touches!

Hi Stu. I have two questions about the software. For me it would be very useful to use PS-Wireless-Buzzers for the game. Because they are not genuine implemented, I try to figure out some kind of a workaround. My first idea was to use jbuzzer software, install it on 3 Notebooks and then bind the space-key (via additionell software) to the Buzzer-button. Have you any ideas if this would work respective how I could implement my Buzzers?
My other question is simple.
Can I build a quiz with multiple rounds or is it just one?

thx
Kelvin

Hi Lisa. What URL of what image? You can’t make up your own instructions for inserting images. Go here: http://quizboxes.com/2008/08/10/include-images-in-your-quizzes-step-by-step/

Stu, I have created a jeopardy game and have tried to insert pictures according to the instructions. Unfortunately the question comes up with the url of the image but not the image itself. Is there something I am doing wrong as I am totally stumped as to how to make the image appear??? Lisa

QuizBoxes is a Windows program Terry. There is no Mac OSX version of the program. If you want to use it with your Mac hardware, you MUST install the Windows operating system on your Mac. Sorry, I can’t assist you with this process.

That’s exactly how I’ve been doing it. And for the other characters I need I find the closest matches. Thank you for the effort you’ve put into all of this.

Hi LVLearner. Glad you are liking Quizboxes. You currently can’t include the A with macron, but you can do the z with caron. Open the Windows program called Character Map (or charmap), select the Arial font and look down the list till you find it. click on it, then click Select, then Copy. To use it, go to the QuizBoxes Editor and Ctrl-V to paste where would like it. Here’s a pic to show you: http://i.imgur.com/B6HBa.jpg

I cannot give you a timeframe for the languages support in QuizBoxes as I am tied up on other projects.

This is an amazing program for learning languages as it captures the kids’ attention. I’ve read you plan on adding support for other languages and I’m really looking forward to that as I need characters that are in the Arial Latin Extended-A subset.
For example: “Latin capital Letter A with Macron”; character code 0100; Ā
and “Latin small letter z with caron”; character code 017E; ž
Do you have an approximate release date in mind?
