Quote of the day

Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be.
- William Hazlitt

On that note, I'd like to get feedback on something I've been working on recently. For my job I have been given the charge of meeting a request made by many WSU students for more multimedia in their online classes. As a part of this, I've begun working on some games that can be used to review concepts taught in the course. The first two are "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" and "Jeopardy!". I've also created an authoring tool so that faculty can go in and create game files.

So. What I need are a few people to email me, I'll set you up a login, and then you go play with the system, test it out, try to break it, and give me feedback on any problems you run into, suggestions, comments, dollars, etc.

If you'd like to test out the games themselves, but not the authoring tool, you can try just the games here and here.

Thanks, all.
