Million Dollar Password PowerPoint Control

[chad1m]

NOTE: UPDATED 3/12/09. See this post.

So, I mentioned in the game show party thread that I developed a PowerPoint version of Million Dollar Password to create your own version of the show at home. After testing it with a few people and trying to make it very, very good, I feel that it is now good enough to share with you guys. You can check out screenshots, read information and download it at this site.
There are still some drawbacks that could be fixed if I used a more in-depth program, but this is the best I can give for my skill level. =)

Let me know what you guys think.

My initial observation is that it looks great! I will just have to use this in my classroom! :-)

Seriously, good job and thank you!

Very nice indeed!  I might be able to use this as well.

I'm making some radical changes that I never really thought about until someone mentioned it, regarding the bonus round. It will make the experience so much better and it should be ready in less than an hour.

EDIT: Okay, so I've pretty much done a major overhaul of the endgame. In the bonus rounds, you can now indicate correct and incorrect guesses with lights, dimming and sounds! To illuminate one of the bulbs to indicate a correctly-guessed word, simply use your favorite “advance” technique (mouse click, etc.). To turn off a bulb due to an invalid clue, pass or exhaustion of clues, click that bulb, starting with the right-most bulb.

Chad, I too have tried to download MDP,and I keep getting the "unexpected error" sign. Do I need to add the PowerPoint Program or what?.

Just in time for its "removal from the schedule", I've finished my overhaul of my contestant-appearance-causing Million Dollar Password PowerPoint control. A lot of new features, images, sounds, animations and controls. You can download it by visiting this link. Go ahead and download, try it out and let me know what you think!

Hot off the presses, the site now boasts three updated versions of the PowerPoint presentation, all based on the American program:
- Million Dollar Password (U.S.)
- Password (Spain)
- Mot de Passe (France) [featuring the Joker!]

They're all grouped onto one link now, clickable here.

You sure you're not using a Windows 3.1 computer with a 100 meg hard drive and no video card?

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing this.

All four international variants (USA, Spain, France and Indonesia) have been updated with their proper music and cues. Once I get more information on it, a Greek variant may be on its way.
