MSAccess Jeopardy

This is still a work in progress but I thought I'd upload what I've done so far. (requires Access 2000 or greater)

It basically plays Jeopardy (I'm still working on the double-part.) You can also edit the questions and make your own questions. You play against 2 computer opponents. You can adjust how fast the computer skill levels answer in the Change Default Options button on the Main Menu (and also set the probability of Computer Player 2 and 3 being correct.) I'm working on adjusting the code for this also but they are somewhat competitive so far.

Again, it's still a work in progress so if you get a few errors, know that I will be uploading a better version sometime.

Hopefully it's fun for you. Feedback on how well you like/dislike it is encouraged.

(sorry but I'm not supplying the source code on this one. Mainly because it's rather sloppy.)

Version 3 Now uploaded (08/07/2008):

Changed:
1. Better computer opponents (and you won't get the same 2 computer components for a specific game - new logic.)
2. Can change the probability more accurately that the computer will be correct and make it so it's very challenging against the computers (or very easy).
3. New logic re-written on the time they answer and more accurately reflecting with their default settings and their probability of being correct.
** 4. You can change the name on the main form from MSAccess Jeopardy to whatever name you want to call it (for example, if you wanted to enter questions for another topic such as Crafting, etc... you could call it Crafting Jeopardy and enter Crafting questions!)
** 5. You can now add Categories to a computer player in which that computer player will then have better odds of answering something they have listed in their categories (and a better chance of being correct - ie. the computer might also 2nd guess their answer if it's a category in their listing.)
6. You can adjust the TimerInterval to make the answer clock run faster or slower.
7. You can set the Answer time limit.
8. You can change/adjust the default settings in the middle of a game (ie. you can speed up or slow down the timerinterval or other computer probability default settings while playing a game instead of having to quit the game.)
9. A few other bugs fixed.

Sorry though, no Double-Jeopardy or Final Round yet - still working on it. I'm also working on when you "Buzz" in, you have a certain number of seconds to answer. As of now, you can take your time answering the question once you've buzzed in.
