PowerPoint Game Templates and Tools
« on: June 24, 2014, 04:34:51 PM »
A completely modifiable and extendable game template

The template
All images and elements are placed on the Slide Master to give users the ability to edit or replace the images (right-click) and select replace image

Contains several question slide design options

No minimum or maximum number of questions

scoreboard
Created entirely in PowerPoint and Visual Basic, you can alternate the teams by clicking on the point holder.  Or let the code do the work, it is fully automated!  After the team wins points, the points will be added to their score

code
Everything is controlled in Visual Basic.  Please ensure visual basic is installed and macros are enabled

I have left the module unprotected so you can check out the code.  Please don't use this code on any other projects without my permission.

This is beyond awesome! You make me want start learning how to use Visual Basic in PowerPoint. However, I am having a problem with the scoring for team one in the bomb game template. The score seems to start from 170. Also, I think it would be best to use a font that has both capital letters and lowercase letters. An all caps font can confuse the students. Amazing! :shocked:

Thanks for the notes.  I've changed the font to Ubuntu and fixed the code error that was making team 1 get 170 points on the first click.

Cool, glad you think so.  I guess I will add more useful code driven stuff over time.  If you got requests - let me know.
