Final Tweaks - Check for File

I have built a game of Jeopardy that is fully functional at this stage, but I'd like to tweak a couple things before adding to the Samples section if possible.

Current Design:

  • Intended to be played in a group environment, with a Host and 3 players (or 3 teams). Only the host will operate the game environment.
  • Allows customization to play either 1 or 2 rounds. 4 topics x 5 questions per round.
  • Includes a Final Jeopardy round and Daily Doubles, with wagers.
  • Allows customization to include long form topics that are introduced before each round.
  • Allows multiple players to score each question.
  • Includes a Fast Forward option to skip the remainder of the round if timing is an issue.
  • Tracks questions that are skipped or answered incorrectly and compiles them into a printable report. The report is displayed in the browser using file: gamenotes.html
  • Includes Help pages for both the host and the developer. 
  • Includes a test mode that includes all the features, but limits each round to only 5 questions.
  • Topics and Questions are entered as variables. Answers are custom formatted to allow greater variety: answer vs additional feedback, bullet points, graphics, etc.

What's Missing:

  • It does not allow importing the topics and questions from a spreadsheet.
    • For this to be useful, the answers would also need to be switched to variables 
  • It does not check if gameresults.html exists. 
    • Ideally it should produce an error somewhere and should hide the Game Report button.
    • I have attempted to do this, but have been unsuccessful. My attempt is still included on the Results slide.

To view the project, with the report:

  1. Preview the story
  2. Click Setup Instructions
  3. Click PUBLISHING
  4. Follow the instructions for Web Publishing
  5. Once Published,
    • if you want to see an actual report:
      • play either the standard or test game.
      • Use Fast Forward if you want.
    • if you want to cheat and jump directly to the Results slide:
      • open the hidden menu and click Results.
      • It will presume you answered every question correctly, and assign preset scores.
      • The report will be blank since you didn't allow it to compile the list of issues.
