How do I create a "Jeopardy" game for my students as a study tool.
I am an instructor of Army Combat Medics and I would like to create a game
that is formatted to play like the TV show "Jeopardy" whereby my students see a panel of topics with associated point values corresponding to increasingly tough questions. When I, as the moderator, click on the point value they have chosen, I would like for the question to appear on the screen. Besides this, I was wondering if there was a way to keep score based on two teams of players? Currently I use Excel 2000 (ver 9.0.6926) with all the topics listed at the column headings and the point choices (100-1000) underneath. When a student asks for a specific value, for example "topic A for 300 points", I look up in my study guide for the question I have chosen for that value and ask him the question and he gives the answer out loud. If he gets it correct I use the background color button to highlight that block for his team color and add the points on the board. Although this method is working it would present a more professional appearance and a more fun atmosphere to have all of these actions included in the program. Can anyone suggest anything to help? |

How do I create a "Jeopardy" game for my students as a study tool.
Excel Jeopardy? Gosh! Where do we start? Where does it end? The code below
is very basic, but an idea. There are a lot of ways you can go with this, depending on your preferences, skills, and the time you have to devote to it. (Hmmmm... has it been done? Google?) You can store and manage the "answers" in a hidden worksheet or worksheets, and have events call and display them when someone clicks on a cell. Could be designed so worksheets or ranges contain a complete set of answers for a game and are easy to swap. I have hard-coded the answers below. (On Jeopardy, the contestants are given the answers and respond with questions, right?) The current cell value could be allocated to a team and the cell colored and disabled by clicking a button for a team after it gives a correct question, perhaps. Option Explicit 'put in a worksheet serving as the game board ' 'clicking a cell shows an answer, to which a 'contestant must resond with a question. Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim ans As String Select Case Target.Address Case Range("A1").Address ans = "George Washington" Case Range("A2").Address ans = "Abraham Lincoln" Case Range("A3").Address ans = "Andrew Jackson" Case Range("A4").Address ans = "Ben Franklin" Case Range("A5").Address ans = "Thomas Jefferson" Case Range("A6").Address ans = "Betty Crocker" End Select Select Case Target.Address Case Range("B1").Address ans = "gauze" Case Range("B2").Address ans = "Bandaid" Case Range("B3").Address ans = "sling" Case Range("B4").Address ans = "gurney" Case Range("B5").Address ans = "tourniquet" Case Range("B6").Address ans = "meat cleaver" End Select MsgBox ans End Sub "robertpbrady" wrote in message ...

This (and many) implement showing the collection of answers and questions as
links among workbooks, and use formulas to reference a data sheet. "Bob Kilmer" wrote in message ... http://aam.govst.edu/MCP%20Jeopardy.xls "robertpbrady" wrote in message ...
