Background
This game is a computer version of a combination of two TV game programs: Wheel ofFortune and Jeopardy!. If you don’t know how to play either of these games, your firstassignment is to spend a few hours watching these shows on TV. Usually these twoprograms are aired back to back in the 7:00pm – 8:00pm hour. Check your local listingsfor details. The following is a description of the rules for The Wheel of Jeopardy (WoJ)game.
Game Equipment: In the user interface to the WoJ game there will be a wheel and aquestion board. These are analogous to the wheel and game board in the TV programs
Game Rules: The players take turns spinning the wheel and answering questions. Whenit is your turn, you will spin the wheel, and do whatever it says on the sector of the wheel.
The wheel has the following 12 sectors, randomly distributed:
- One sector for each of the six categories on the Jeopardy! board. When the playerspins one of these sectors, he or she must answer the next question in that category.The questions are answered in the order of increasing point value. If the playeranswers correctly, he or she is awarded the corresponding points and gets to spinagain. If incorrect, the corresponding points are subtracted from the player’s score,and the player loses his turn. (Negative scores are possible.) If all of the questions inthe selected category have been answered, the player must spin again.
- One “lose turn” sector.
- One “free turn” sector. When this sector comes up, the player gets a token for a freeturn later in the game. The token could be used if the player loses his turn byspinning a “lose turn” or answering a question incorrectly in a future turn. If thishappens, the player could redeem the token and would get to spin the wheel again.The number of tokens is unlimited.
- One “bankrupt” sector. When this sector comes up, the player loses all of his or herpoints for the current round. The player loses his turn, and can’t use a token for asecond chance.
- One “player’s choice” sector. When this sector comes up, the player gets to choosewhich category to answer.
- One “opponents’ choice” sector. When this sector comes up, the player’s opponentsget to select the category.
- One “spin again” sector. When this sector comes up, the player must spin again.
The game is played in two rounds. In the second round, the point values are doubledfrom the first round (as in Jeopardy!). At the end of the game, the scores for the tworounds are added together. The player with the largest total score is the winner. In eachround there are a maximum of 50 spins of the wheel. A counter should be displayedindicating the number of spins remaining in the round. A round is over if either all of thequestions have been answered or if the spin count goes to zero.
In Jeopardy!, the questions are actually in the form of answers, and the answers should beworded as questions. (However, for this program, you may word the questions in theform of questions rather than answers, if you wish. ) There should be a time limit onanswering a question. If the time expires, no points are subtracted from the player’sscore, but he loses his turn. If he has a token, he can redeem it for another spin. There isno “buzzing in” in this game.
Options: The following options are nice to have, but not absolutely required. You canincrease the value of your program by implementing these options.
Wheel Of Fortune Mobile Answers
- There should be a convenient way for someone to edit the set of questions & answers,as well as the categories. Instructions for doing this should be provided in thedocumentation. This would be useful for, say, a high school teacher to provide drilland practice for students.
- You need to come up with a way to signal to the program that a question has beenanswered correctly. Spend some time thinking of various options and evaluatingthem based on ease of use by the players and ease of implementation in the software.
- It would be nice to allow multimedia questions (e.g., videos, pictures, sound).
- Animation of the wheel would be nice to have.
- It would be nice to have “Jeopardy” and “Double Jeopardy” squares, as in the TVgame. The wagering rules would be the same as on TV.
