This is really nice. Well done!
I've had a jeopardy based toy project on the backburner for several years, with the north star goal of solving the problem I've had with every jeopardy game I've ever played: you need an Alex/host who knows the answer and can judge players right or wrong. This ability to buzz in, be wrong and then have another player respond is fairly crucial to real strategic play.
I get this is for fun and not meant to be "real" jeopardy, but I wonder if you could add support for something like this by allowing a "join as host" option when using the QR code that would reveal the answer and not have a score.
Great work and thanks for sharing it!
In the menu you'll see there is a "Show answer" button. The host can log in on a different tab or device to see the answer to the currently flipped clue.
You mean the question? Everyone should be able to see the answer of the active clue.
Nope. Everyone should be able to see the clue, but not the answer or correct response to the clue.
I believe that explaininjs is making a pedantic/semi-tongue-in-cheek joke about the gimmick of Jeopardy where the clues are "answers" and contestants buzz in to respond with the "question". https://youtu.be/KDTxS9_CwZA?t=156
It would be pedantic if it were indeed nothing but a joke, but I think the existence of this gimmick forces us to assimilate our non-joking language in order to avoid ongoing problems. Easier to have common ground among participants and onlookers than not. To exclude yourself, should you wish, simply stick to clue/response.
I cannot find this button. :( It also took me multiple reloads to find the menu button since it disappears after a few seconds. My eyes are drawn to the board and not the upper left hand corner.
You'll only see it if you're logged in. I'll fix the menu button!
Ah neat, I'll give that a try!
