Play Game
This pretest review is a Jeopardy style game for two teams. Select the Play button at top right for an animal kingdom version of the game.
The team winning a coin toss starts the game by choosing a box. The classroom instructor/host selects the box, reads the question, then presses the spacebar to reveal multiple choice answers. The first team to answer receives credit. The host selects the team's answer then their button on the game board. Credit is added or subtracted to the team's score based on a correct or incorrect answer. At the end of the game a tally board reveals the final score and a list of all incorrect responses for final review. All categories and questions are loaded from an xml file to make the game easily updatable and versatile.

Crazy Clowns started out as a simple programming test as I was learning to utilize the built in gyroscope available in smart phones and tablets. It is available on Amazon apps, Google apps and iTunes.
It is based on an old carnie board game handed out as a consolation prize where the user must roll the bee bees in to holes that make up the eyes in a picture of a clown. This app is a multilevel game where each level becomes more difficult to complete. It has a built in timer and keeps score.
