Does anyone know how to set up a jeopardy game with isadora?

@bodiesneverlie this is a great question, and perhaps the best proposed use of a multi-channel video design tool! Excited to hear @Carlos's answer in more detail.

I made a bingo caller, which is fun though over engineered. I will have a go at a Jeopardy game sometime as I'd love to do it with my family. - My instinct would be towards using data arrays, text files and text draw actors.

Would be great to have a re-animated Alex Trebek too.

When I read your post yesterday evening I got hooked to try it. Attached is my result, I even downloaded a font that should match the original, so please install the font first. To reset the buttons in Isadora, go to the setup scene and then back again to the jeopardy scene. When you have clicked on the result button you have to wait for 3 seconds (until the text is cleared) before you click on the next questions well actually answer :-). I have only created one category file, so each category should be in a different .txt file. The name of the category has to be in the first line. Then between table parts
number question/answer result

you have to press the tab key, not only a space.

The Zip is empty when I download it. I tried a few times. Strange.

I re-uploaded the zip in the upper post and renamed the file. There was a vertical line in the name | not sure if this makes problems on Windows. I also have re-done the interface a little bit and changed the voice from Alex to Tom. Sounds more natural.
