Freeopardy (”free-o-pardy”) lets you host your own Jeopardy-like game for 1 to three players. One can set answers, questions, Final Freeopardy, and the Daily Double location. Currently Double Freeopardy is unavailable. Sounds should be accurate.

A sample Freeopardy document (.txt) is included. Use the Freeopardy Editor to create/modify your game. You should probably run through all of your answers fit in the display area before presentation (let me know if there is not enough space too often). The Freeopardy document should not be rearranged in any way.

Play begins with Player 1 selecting a Category and Value. Once the host clicks the selection, plays buzz in using the “`” (the key with tilde), “m” and “-” (minus). Host can stop play by hitting “Skip Current” button, or by setting a time limit to an integer greater than zero before selecting.

Please let me know any problems/suggestions/comments and the situation regarding your email. Freeopardy was created using AppleScript Studio in XCode and has only been tested on Mac OS 10.3 and 10.4, let me know if it works for you too.
