A couple of updates:
Don't worry that the screenshots section hasn't been updated. You won't get to see the finalized graphics until the game's released. Sorry!
I am in the process of creating a DVD with an episode on it so it will be easier to navigate through the episode without sitting and waiting for it to rewind/fast forward. Wee!
I've run into a couple of problems with the game boards (both of them). I should be able to get around them. One thing I'll have to say is that I'm not the best programmer out there. I know how to make things look good but the logic that goes behind the pretty pieces isn't my forte.
I don't want to give an ETA just yet. Keep your fingers crossed!

So when u say you were having trouble with the game boards.. what kind of trouble are you having with them? anything we can try to help you out with?

I think the intro is working out pretty good. It's working as efficiently as I can make it.
As far as the game board problems, no, there's nothing anyone can do to help unless you know Flash. And even at that I don't like distributing my fla file. I'll eventually work around the little issues I'm having with it.

I'm leaving with my wife Thursday of next week to go to Pigeon Forge, TN. We'll be back the following Sunday evening. Gosh, I'm looking so forward to it! The problems with the board are just a matter of solving some logic problems. I've got it figured out. I just needed to find a way for the user to make any trilon they wish a special square like a 7-11 or a Mystery 7...whatever they're called.  The trilons can be activated by clicking on them with a mouse button or by pressing these keys respectively: E S D Z X C This will be the key mapping for the main game board as well as the bonus round. Another note about the bonus round: I'm not going to have a shot of the Winner's Circle as seen on TV when they're actually playing the round. It would be much more functional to have the game board displayed at all times for the person giving the clues. Unlike Family Feud, this game will not be as close to TV. As I've been creating this game, I've realized some restrictions I have had to place on myself regarding my strong desire to make the game look exactly like what's on TV. In the general scope of things, I think you'll all like the compromises. At least, I think you'll all be able to understand them. And heck, if you don't like this and aren't looking forward to my simple Match Game project, you'll love what I'm going to do with Family Feud next. |

Woah, don't get too excited about it! I'll post some of my intentions in more detail in the Feud forums. I have no idea what kind of timetable we're looking at here but I have strong intentions to remake both versions of the game.

I think that's a better idea anyway. If you had the bonus round the same way they done it on TV I think it would be confusing for the players. |

(audience): "HOW SIMPLE IS IT?!" you don't need a BLANK to play it. (contestant): "Computer?" You are CORRECT! |
