Glad to hear you appreciate our efforts. I knew with just a few tweaks that this would be a great game for teachers and team builders alike.

Thanks for coming back to let us know you discovered the answer to your question.

It's nice to hear you've done something right every once in a while!

Regards,

Warren

Whoops... I should have asked my wife BEFORE making a fool of myself.
This is actually the way the game IS scored - the steal is of the points
already on the board, and no more are added. Watched the show
to verify this, and that's how it's done.

The FIRST part of my note was correct, however. It IS an outstanding
implementation. Thank you very much again!

Thank you for an outstanding implementation of the Feud game.
I have the Warren "ff_developers_full.zip" version, and it's really
terrific. I'll be using it for a school Science event at the end of
February. There's just one small fly in the ointment:

Both the .exe and .swf versions of the game do not score correctly
after a steal.

After 3 strikes, when control automatically passes to the other team,
and an answer is entered, the points from that answer do NOT add to the
score box on top, so that when the spacebar is pressed (for the team
that won control on the steal) the points from the LAST answer (the
one that got them the steal) are NOT added to the total in the box nor
to their game total. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Do you
know of a fix for it?

Thank you very much,
Henry
