I really like $100K Pyramid, Todd; but I realize that after 7-11's, if you get all 7 answers, "$1,100" flashes on the screen. And on Mystery 7's the name of the prize would flash, such as "TRIP TO (SOMEWHERE)". But I like the work, and keep it up!

There have been computers, TV's and even cars. If I can make suggestion in the main menu you should have a column where we input the prize. |

I think Chris got the impression that I'm not going to include the flashing text when a bonus category (7-11, Mystery 7) is won. And he probably thought that because I said the issue has been discussed twice.
The only reason I said that issue was discussed twice is because it's been brought up on two other occassions. I know it's something I need to add. Just make sure you check the other threads before posting repeat problems.

I just noticed that on the close-up of the board for the WC round, the background behind the board is always red. It should only be red when the round is actually in progess; it should be blue while the clock is not actively running. The red background is in conjunction with the side wall (the multi-pyramid background you mentioned on the second post of this thread) going dark with the red glow on the pyramids. As you watch the movie of the game in action with actress Jackee Harry in the giver's chair, which whoserman posted a link to over the weekend, look carefully on the upper right hand corner of the video as Dick steps aside (notice the background is blue at that instant), and then, after Dick says "Go!", the clock starts, and the background wall goes darks, look again at the full shot of the board each time the active trilon changes (now notice the red background); then when play ends, notice that the background has changed back to blue as Dick explains to Jackee what she did wrong (and notice that the trilons with the goofed-up categories have turned again to show the categories that Jackee goofed up on).

While I think the complaints about the background colors are asinine, JeffP has a point in that there should be some mechanism to revert the illegally-clued trilons to their subject sides for the post-mortem once the round is over. Maybe after the buzzer sounds it would be possible to (P)ass to it and have it turn around if it's still on its Pyramid face? Problem there is that I wouldn't want to turn around an outright unrevealed answer.

Once the clock is off, the keys could revert to the E/SD/ZXC pattern to manually operate the trilons at one's whim.

Todd seemed to make it work just fine in the main game...

I have the scene layed out so each category advancement through the Winner's Circle round has its own frame. When time's up and the PgDn key is pressed to remove the timer, it's in another separate frame. I can just remove the c, p, and x buttons and switch them to the button arrangement used for the main game's category selection part. I think it's a great idea. I appreciate the suggestions there. |

Hey Todd, here is another thing I noticed, not a biggy just thought I would point it out, not sure if it's possible anyway, but in the Winners Circle after u win the game the music and lights and flashing all stop for a bit while the winner talks with dick clark and whoever is on stage at that time, then when its just about to go to commercial, the music and lights and flashing 10,000 or 25,000 or 100,00 depending on what they win all start up again. just wondering if ther eis a way to put this feature into the game? Maybe using the page down key after u win stops the lights music and flashing and bell until u want to go to commercial or switch off, just a though? not sure if it's possible or not. hope this makes sense.  anyway keep up the good work |

I just noticed the 7-11/Mystery 7 position #5 (bottom center) turns into a pyramid logo immediately after turning. Sorry if this was mentioned before.
