Jeopardy for Teachers

Password Strength Test Screen ShotIn my experience, many students think that Jeopardy is an excellent way to review class material before a test. I originally created this Jeopardy game as a study tool for an Interpersonal Communication class at Aims Community College. Currently gameplay is limited to only two rounds: normal Jeopardy and a double Jeopardy round with one final Jeopardy question at the end.

I hope to add an interface to add/remove questions and categories, but at this time a series of text files are used to store questions and category names. The final Jeopardy question cannot be changed, but I hope to fix that at some point in the future.

Input Questions & Categories

Four text files are included with the Jeopardy game: r1cat.txt, r1ans.txt, r2cat.txt, and r2ans.txt. Those four text files need to reside in the same directory as the Jeopardy executable file.

  1. r1cat.txt contains the round one categories, with each category on its own line
  2. r1ans.txt contains the round one answers, with each answer on its own line
  3. r2cat.txt contains the round two categories, with each category on its own line
  4. r2ans.txt contains the round two answers, with each answer on its own line
