Hi! I'm a Korean student who's been fiddling with PowerPoint since the dawn of time.
If you are one of those people who have amazing creativity yet don't know anything about PowerPoint, I'll make it for you!
Comment your ideas below, and I'll choose the best-sounding idea, and physically make it!

Here are few things that I can make, that you guys may be interested in:
- I can make auto-score-counting systems, which means counting scores on chalkboards and whiteboards is no longer.
- I can make save systems, so that when you are half-way through the game with your students, and it's the end of the lesson, yet you want to continue the game next time, you can just save the PowerPoint, and all the scores etc will be saved for next time.
- I can make things using random function - For example, in a bomb game, rather than having fixed prizes for each question, I can make it so that you get randomised prizes for each time you answer a question - you never know what you're going to get!

I think this forum has lost a lot of popularity recently, so many people are not replying these days :( I have had the same problem when trying to get feedback about my games. Congratulations to you for having motivation and initiative as a Korean high school student! I think you might have some success if you choose a theme and make a .ppt game template to share. Then people can see your work.

Dude, you are awesome.

I don't have any good ideas for games, but I'll be sure to steal whatever you come up with!

eujunseo · « **Reply #4 on:** April 11, 2018, 04:17:07 PM »

Welp, I'll just start making my own templates then ;)

I'm sorry I can't provide any good game ideas! :( However, I really look forward to seeing your game ideas and/or templates!

Overwatch / PUBG / LoL templates would probably go down really well with my boy students.

Would love something PUBG related but not super violent. My boys LOVE it.

I'm pretty decent with powerpoint, but something I've never played with are macros.
If you're looking to help people up their ppt game, maybe craft a few custom macros that you think would be useful for the average ESL presentation, as I'm sure most of us have no idea how to use them despite that they're supposed to be pretty great.

Also, I have some uni friends who edited powerpoints for (paypal) cash here in Korea. They said they were severely underpaid (10,000 per presentation or something ridiculous like that) and eventually gave it up, but if you're interested in doing the same, I might be able to ask them how/where they got the gig.

Avengers ppt game? In honor of avengers infinity wars coming out. I knows someone posted a version of an avengers game a long time ago but the link seems to be gone or broken over time. Can't seem to find it. If someone happens to know a way to download that one please let me know. Thanks!!

Hello Kitty!

I had made a web-based Avengers bomb game many moons ago. I was a little worried about copyright infringement moving forward with my game development stuff, so I remade the game as a reaction gif bomb game (www.dan-teacher.com/reaction-bomb). Not sure if that's the one you're talking about.

Have you heard of the game called Cranium? I think maybe that into a PPT format would be an amazing and fun game.

I made a terrible version of RISK, but a nice, well-done version would be incredible!

Start with a RISK map (easily findable online) background, then somehow add in functionality to place different colored troops in different territories. You need to be able to add or subtract troops depending on the outcome of the students' dice rolls. And you need the ability to save the progress. A "fight" button would be awesome too! It could link to an animated slide that shows two colors of teams facing off and says, "Roll the dice to attack."

I have lots of games that I use in class,but they're too long. Students love to play my typhoon and bomb games. Most of my games consist of a grid with points or bombs, guns etc behind the grid. The grid usually has 35 squares and I would like to limit them to ten squares and then move onto new material.The problem is every time I try to modify the games, they stop working!!! I am TERRIBLE with technology. I would be willing to pay you whatever to help me edit my games. Would that be possible? How can I send you the games?

I wish someone would make a Hello Kitty game.

What about a 'The Floor is Lava' game, but with real lava? Do we have the technology?

If you listen to North Korean rhetoric, everybody in Seoul will be playing that game sometime soon. Best start practicing now!

My students beg for anything A-Pop/K-Pop related. I would like a game that has four pictures and they have to guess the song title. I have wanted to make one but I honestly don't know enough K-Pop or what A-Pop my students know to make it. I read another comment on here about....we will love whatever you make and probably steal it!! Ha! Ha! So True! Thank you!
