How to create a Jeopardy game format with Powerpoint - hyperlinks
cskittles99
Hey! I am working on creating a game formatted like Jeopardy and I need some
help. I've set up all the links so that when I click on a price box, it will
take me to another slide with the question and then another link to get back
to the main gameshow page. however, i don't know how to set it up so the box
disappears after using it so that we can keep track of which questions have
already been selected. any suggestions to fix this? Thanks so much!

There are many ways to do this. The easiest thing is to use a textual
hyperlink to the other slides. When you do this, the text changes color
after being clicked. To make the boxes disappear, you use trigger
animations. That is, have a box with an exit animation. Set it for the
timing of the animation to be triggered by the click of another object. In
this case that "other" object is the object itself so when you click on the
box, it triggers its own exit. This can be used in conjunction with the
hyperlink you already have in place.

you're asking using macros (VBA). I've made the code visible, so you
can see exactly how to do it if you're interested. Otherwise, you can
simply use the template. It also includes several advanced features
such as keeping track of scores automatically, the ability to import
from Excel, and it now includes a "Daily Double" is placed at random
each time the board is reset. http://sites.google.com/site/dufmedical/jeopardy.

If you are familiar with the macros and VBA, i propose you another way.
This way consist on replacing the shapes by command buttons
The button command has the visible property you can set it to “False” hide
the button or “True” to show it.
You can also use the “View” method of the “SlideShowWindow” object to select
the next slide to be viewed.
See the subroutine below
---------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cmdCat3Lev1_Click()
cmdCat3Lev1.Visible = False : 'Hide the command button named
'cmdCat3Lev1'
SlideShowWindows(1).View.GotoSlide (4) : 'GotoSlide (4) mean that the
slide show will display the slide number 4
End Sub
----------------------------------------------------------
You will also have to think to add a button that will show all the hidden
buttons.
Off course you will not have the same visual effects when you replace the
shapes with command buttons but it will be more easy to perform.

If you are familiar with macros and VBA, I propose you another approach.
Replace the shapes by command buttons certainly you will lose regarding the
design but it will be more easy to implement you solution because the
command buttons have properties (like : visible) and events (like : Click).
You also have the “View” method of the “SlideShowWindow” Objet to display
the desired slide.
The subroutine below is a sample on how to perform this:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub commandButton1_Click()
commandButton1.Visible = False
SlideShowWindows(1).View.GotoSlide (4)
End Sub
------------------------------------------------------------------
You have to think to add a command button to show all the command buttons
after they have been hidden.

I you are familiar with VBA and macros, I propose you another approach
It ‘consists on replacing the shapes by command buttons. The command buttons
have the “Visible” property that can be set to “False”, this will hide the
control, and the “Click” event.
Combine this with the “View” method of the “SlideShowWindow” Objet and you
will have the result you wish, hiding the button and display the desired
slide.
I propose you to add another command button that will set the “Visible”
property to “True” for all the command buttons to show them like if you are
initializing the game.
Here bellow a sample for the VBA subroutine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cmdCat4Lev1_Click()
cmdCat4Lev1.Visible = False
SlideShowWindows(1).View.GotoSlide (5)
End Sub
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2007 I have tested the macros and they work. They also work on 2010. What is happening the scores don't work from the button they only work if you keep press run every time you need to. Please help
