Product Description:
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.
For this beta, further instructions are unavailable.
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.

I love the idea!
As a teacher I see numerous opportunities here.
There are some problems though.
There should be a full screen option, and there should also be an option for using two monitors. Showing the questions to the class, while I have "control" from my iBook.
I thought I could give it a try with my class, but the issues I have mentioned above, must be looked at first.
But if the minor "hiccups" is fixed, this would be super. I would actually pay for a program like that.
Thanks.

Good start with this game. I like the dedication to making it as close to the real thing as possible (but that might get you into trouble...). A couple of suggestions:
Full Screen mode would be great -- this is a wonderful game for classroom use on an infocus projector (see the shareware program Hazard for an example of a not-ready-for-primetime example that has full screen)
Having three players is great, but what if two people want to play? Or four?
What about a time limit for hitting the button?
Your windows don't obey OS X rules -- right now I'm typing this but the Selection and Score windows are hovering above Safari...

Having said that, I can see a good future for this software with a few more revisions and polishing.
