+The jj_game Class
+Author: D. P. Story
+Dated: 2016/11/24
+
+JJ_game class is a Jeopardy-like game in which you compete for cyber money by
+answering questions composed by the game author. The questions can be
+multiple choice, math fill-in or text fill-in.
+
+Since the year 2000, many techniques have been developed, and this
+version of jj_game has many enhancements an new features:
+ (1) Added the ability to pose math and text fill-in questions
+
+ (2) Enhanced control over the color design of the game
+
+ (3) The distribution comes with 9 designs (color schemes)
+ jeopardy, florida, iceland, hornet, qatar, norway, germany,
+ bahamas and spain
+
+ (4) Five general graphical backgrounds provided, and two additional
+ ones that are used in a custom design
+
+ (5) language option, currently english and german. Additional
+ languages will be added as translators volunteer
+
+The basic game can be constructed using dvips, pdftex, luatex, and xelatex.
+
+Additionally, there is a pro option that requires the use of dvips/Distiller
+workflow (Acrobat Pro 7.0 or later required).
+
+I have used the jj_game class in some of my classes for extra
+credit; for this purpose, the following features were developed:
+
+ (6) A forcredit option that forces the student---assuming the
+ contestant is taking the game for credit---to enter his/her name.
+
+ (7) With the pro option, layers are used to hide the questions
+ from the contestant before he/she selects a question from
+ the game board. When the contestant selects a question, the
+ question is made visible. The questions are in layers with
+ a no print attribute, so the contestant cannot print out the
+ game and distribute the questions to other contestants even if
+ the questions are visible.
+
+Documentation jjg_man.pdf contains all details of the game, and
+wonderful demo files are also supplied.
+
+What's New (2016/11/24): Brought jj_game class up to conformance to the
+modern exerquiz package, which has changed over the years.
+
+Comments and suggestions are always gratefully accepted and seriously
+considered.
+
+Hope you like the new version, now, I simply must get back to my
+retirement!
