Jeopardy
Jeopardy was my first attempt at writing a program that I thought a lot of people would use. It never got too much farther than a few people taking a look and saying it was a neat idea, but I still had a lot of fun making it.
I got the idea to design the game during my freshman year of college while sitting in a math class reviewing for a test. The teacher opened a powerpoint and was clicking through it and got frustrated when it didn't go where she wanted.
I had wondered before about creating a web-based version of the game, but I never knew enough to even begin to start. At that time though, I had learned a lot more about web programming and databases and thought I'd give it a try. I spent the majority of my free time over Christmas break writing the code and this is what came out of it.
