fast money prob.

[marshallfeud]

Let me start my first post by saying that this is the most accurate, user-friendly, computer-version of a game show I've ever used. I can't wait to use it in my classroom for review activities! ;D

However, after getting used to the FCC & the orig. FF version, I just noticed this evening a glitch during fast money that I was wondering about. It seems that in either version, no matter what the value is for the 4th most popular response for the 2nd question in fast money, whenever the 2nd family member guesses the 4th most pop. for the 2nd question, it shows up as a zero. I thought I had originally hit the "7" key instead, but after trying a different value and resetting my fast money vaules in both versions, the glitch still occurred.

Is there an easy way to fix this on my end? I'm not sure how often the 2nd person will guess the 4th most pop. answer for the 2nd ques. but I'd hate for it to mess up during a presentation.

Once again...stellar work Todd. Any help is appreciated.

marshallfeud, the problem you mentioned is a known issue, something I plan on fixing for the next release. For the time being, the workaround is to skip the 4th most popular answer and use the fifth position instead.

Thanks for the compliments! I hope to have a bugfix on the way.

Thank you for your very prompt reply Todd. I missed the earlier post on this bug when I was scouring through them last night to see if anyone saw it.

A quick question for you...the # of pts. to win glitch that was mentioned by others in earlier posts still exists on the Challenge version I have which I downloaded 2 weeks ago. It's not that big of a deal b/c I just set the pts. at 299 and it works fine, but I saw that you had an earlier post that said it was fixed and I wasn't sure if there was a newer version I should have downloaded.

Your games are top-quality & will work great in my classroom. I can't wait to debut them and show some of the other teachers you site! Thanks again!

If the Options screen at the beginning of the movie says v.1.0a, you have the latest version with the winning points bug fixed.

Good luck using this in your classroom. Spread the word! I'm very excited about this software being used for education.

Todd--
My version says 1.0a on the file name but v.1.1 on the startup options screen. Is this the same thing? An exact hit at 300 doesn't win the game for me on the 1.1 version.

We have an technology inservice at our high school next week and I plan to show some of the teachers this program. It's perfect for the classroom...I can't wait for Pyramid...it'll fit perfectly in my using language effectively unit!

...there's something really wrong with the points system.

I'm thinking about a total rewrite for both Family Feud programs anyway.
