Jeopardy Flash Game

[Deep Soul]

Hello all!
I'm still a newbie but with each project I hope to learn that much more.

I'd like to create an interactive jeopardy board similar to the TV show (i.e. someone picks 'Games' for $100, a button is pressed then a closeup of the question is displayed)

I plan on projecting this interactive board on a projector while I stand in front of the room acting as the host.

What I guess I need:
- a way to dynamically load the questions that are associated to the various columns
- keep track of the questions already played (probably by simply changing the button to a different color)
- Obviously a way to keep score with a scoreboard cutscene that I can call up at a press of a button.

What would be some of the better ways to get this underway. Any particular scripting anyone would suggest? All help definitely appreciated!

Well... I mean.. It wouldn't particularly be too hard. Just make each question thing a generally accesible button.

When you move the mouse over the button.. Have a hover state of a glowing.. And if you hit the button... Then just do a zooming effect to the actually monitor screen and then you have the question fade in... Not too difficult... Then queue the music and open up a text box for someone to place their answer.. Or offer it as a multiple choice.. Unless the room is going to be set up to answer you from there.. In which cause just have it where you can click something else and do it that way..

There are muliple different ways you can do this so.. :D

-And if you want to make the catagories/answers random, you can make a couple of Text (.txt) files and pull the info from them randomly. I think there is a tutorial on Kirupa's main section, if I'm not mistaken...

Math.Random(); have random questions and make it so the same question can't be asked twice :D
