After 1 week, I finally completed my game. It's not as detailed other powerpoints in terms of graphics but this does take the classic format of the show, which had very basic designs compared to today's. In the .zip are 3 files: the controls, the contestant's screen, and the host's screen (in the 2-screen version, there is only one game). I will update the game if I have to, with me giving a heads-up when it does happen. That's about all you need to know. Without further or due I now present my game. If you find any bugs or want to drop feedback, let me know either here or by PM. Enjoy! ***NOTE: I might have forgot to mention this, but the game isn't an actual game you play by yourself. This program is a game control that can be used to display questions if you are doing your own version of the show for things like church or charity events. I apologize if I have lead to any misleads about the program. Individual screens: www.mediafire.com/?2nd8sntoigarrn92-screen version: www.mediafire.com/?4vlkdo61tngrj1u UPDATES: June 30/11: Ask The Audience results can now be shown. July 3/11: The new version (2-screen) is one game that has both the contestant screen and the host screen. However, there must be a second monitor that extends the desktop and is at 1280X800. July4/11: Centered questions. NOTE: This game works best at 1280X800 resolution Some code I jot down on my spare time:  Tell me what you think! Is it good? Does it need improvement? Say so below. |

I'll have a more detailed look when I actually get time to run it, but just by looking at the thumbnail, would it be possible to make some minor graphical changes - the most obvious being using the real classic graphics (I believe there are copies around, if not, PM me) and centering the text. Program wise, it looks really promising, and I can't wait to try it!

I feel like I need to contribute I would love to get people to help me out with my game. Not only would this provide a sense of self-esteem but for newcomers this would work great towards auditioning and proving how you co-operate with the community. I would greatly appreciate having your graphics in my game. I will credit you in the game for your contributions. |

Instructions can work too, like how to use the lifelines, answer choices, sounds? are there sounds in the software? I can't know cause my audio drivers are broken, also just a suggestion it can use quicker loading times because it took about a minute and a half for it to load for me

Instructions can work too I'm pretty sure there are instructions in the .zip file (called controls or readme). are there sounds in the software? I can't know cause my audio drivers are broken I can incorporate sounds in the game control but there are two reasons as to why I didn't already put them in: 1. Visual Basic won't allow me to play 2 sounds at the same time. 2. Sounds tend to make the game bigger in file size, but I'll see what I can do. also just a suggestion it can use quicker loading times because it took about a minute and a half for it to load for me It takes me about 15 seconds for the game to load so it appears to be an issue on your end. Perhaps too many programs are open? More programs take up more memory. Also, in the new release (I didn't put it up yet) I've incorporated the actual graphics from the show (thanks to Mech). I'm just awaiting permission from him to use them. |

For the first issue, I'd try to check out DirectSound. It's part of the DirectX SDK, and well... you can play several sounds at the same time.
Just Google that, see if this can actually solve your problems without causing more issues.

Software is good, it has got some bugs but graphics are awful. Can you make software with 12 questions format?  |

I've updated my copy (not the one in the link) with the actual graphics, however, these are from Mech. I'm just awaiting his permission. Can you make software with 12 questions format? Sure! I'll let you know when I made the change. |

Sure! I'll let you know when I made the change. Here's the link. There is one problem though. Since Mecha hasn't PMed me back, I don't have permission to give the game with his graphics to anyone. Because of this, I have password protected the folder to ensure only trusted people open the program. The password is the same as the one in the Fan Games section: www.mediafire.com/?h47rbpixcurxbhj |

Maxi12, you must go through the same process as everyone else to get the password.
Let me make myself clear. DO NOT ask for the password again. If you want it, you must audition, ONCE YOU HAVE MET THE REQUIREMENTS. We have had lots of people ask for the password like you have and, frankly, we are tired of it. It would be safe to assume there will be consequences if you continue to ask without jumping through the proper hoops.
Oh, and just to be clear, do NOT ask for the password again. When you have done what you need to do to get the password, you will get it.
Period. End of discussion.
