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! + +one dps +dpstory at uakron dot edu +dpstory at acrotex dot net |
