Well, the purple $300 won't be in Round 1 because it would be covered by the wordless (TRIP?) wedge. You don't have to design that, except maybe a basic white-on-blue wedge that says "TRIP" on it for now. If the trip is won in Rounds 1 or 2, the purple $300 will come into play in Round 2 or 3, respectively. If not won, it will be replaced by a $1,250 in Round 4.
The pink $300 will be present in Round 1, and in Round 2 it will be covered by a Mystery Wedge. In Round 3+, it is replaced by $1,500.
Of course, both of these are based on $5,000 being used in Round 3 and $7,500 in Round 4.

And I also like the shading on the FREE SPIN wedge.

Thanks for clarifying everything. I'll get right to work on your wheels.

Easy on the requests, Mech. Easy on the backseat moderating, Leafy. |

We're getting there, and it's looking good in image form. I would still stick to anything medium or dark blue for the TRIP wedge. ...and the actual staff are going to have to use more than one four-digit wedge at some point anyway. With all the stuff they're adding, I'm sure it's difficult for us to think of realistic templates! Easy on the backseat moderating, Leafy. I suppose I wasn't clear. I didn't actually make the later request to Leaf, but anybody who had the time to make much simpler changes. I knew Leaf was busy thinking of my earlier layouts already. |

Yeah.. I only know how to make US layouts, even though I have seen International takes on the show as well. I just haven't watched enough to really understand the Wheels. (That, and I wasn't that bright with world history. :lol:)

That's amazing, germanname! Now that you have GIMP, you can do a whole lot more.  |

How do you guys make the wheels (better yet make them move)? And how do you make a Game On puzzleboard? I wanna make one for my personal stuff.

Making a simple puzzleboard is easy if you have the right tools for the job. For me, I use either Powerpoint or Publisher. The individual cell of the board is made from a simple rectangle, with a green fill color and black outline. Something like this...  Then line the shapes up, and then you'll have something like this...  Then you can put in whatever puzzle you want, maybe even this one..  |

And now I'm feeling really crazy! Let's combine the old with the new:| Bare | Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 | Round 4 | | $1,000 | $200 | (?) $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 | | $650 | $650 | $650 | $650 | $650 | | $500 | Gift Tag
| Gift Tag | PRIZE 2
| PRIZE 2
| | $1,500 | $350 | $350 | $1,500 | $1,500 | | $800 | $800 | $800 | $800 | $800 | | $2,000 | $450 | $450 | $450 | $2,000 | | BANKRUPT | FREE SPIN | BANKRUPT | BANKRUPT | BANKRUPT | | $500 | Wild Card | Wild Card | Wild Card | Wild Card | | $1,000 | $250 | (?) $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 | | $900 | $900 | $900 | $900 | $900 | | $500 | SURPRISE | SURPRISE | SURPRISE | $500 | | $700 | $700 | $700 | $700 | $700 | | LOSE A TURN | LOSE A TURN | LOSE A TURN | LOSE A TURN | LOSE A TURN | | $600 | $600 | $600 | $600 | $600 | | $500 | PRIZE 1
| PRIZE 1
| PRIZE 1
| PRIZE 1
| | $850 | $850 | $850 | $850 | $850 | | (blank) | $2,500 | $3,500 | $5,000 | $7,500 | | $550 | $550 | $550 | $550 | $550 | | $1,500 | $300 | $300 | $1,500 | $1,500 | | $750 | $750 | $750 | $750 | $750 | | $500 | MILLION (1) | MILLION (1/2) | MILLION (1/2/3) | MILLION (1/2/3) | | BANKRUPT | BANKRUPT | BANKRUPT | BANKRUPT | BANKRUPT | | $2,000 | $400 | $400 | $400 | $2,000 | | $950 | $950 | $950 | $950 | $950 |
This Wheel would be based off the old system and an "inverse" template system I thought about before. In this case, no Prize Puzzle, and no +$1,000 Final Spin (with Speed-Up only when necessary, and the show would generally try to avoid it like from 9/15/97-10/1/99). The first two Toss-Ups would be worth $1,000. A third "Extra" would be worth $3,000, except that it would be played before Round 2 and would not be for control of the Wheel; no Toss-Up would be played before Round 4 (the reason behind this has to do with road shows). Any contestant who solves all three Toss-Ups gets a $5,000 bonus, so $10,000 for all three. Speaking of road shows, in case there really is time for only three rounds like in the past, $3,500 would be skipped and the $1,500 space under $300 would be revealed. Everything on the Wheel is pretty self-explanatory ...except for the $1,000,000 prize system, which would be based off the Australian Car Wedge system.- First, you need to pick up a Million-Dollar token ("full" space, as opposed to 1/3 for the current MDW) with a picture of a key on it, then solve the puzzle without hitting Bankrupt to keep it, after which it's safe from the black space. Has a face value of $500 per letter.
- Where the token was, a second "full" wedge (face value of $500) representing a lock will be placed. Similar to the Jackpot wedge, as the player with the "key" must solve immediately after calling a letter on it.
- After that, one final "full" wedge (face value of $500) will be placed in the same spot. Also like the Jackpot wedge, it requires an immediate solve after the letter. If anyone without the "key" picks up the final wedge and makes it to the Bonus Round, the $100,000 will be swapped with the $1,000,000. But if the person who does have the "key" picks it up and wins the game, the Bonus Round will be played for $1,000,000 no matter what.
- Any steps that are not completed can still be done in subsequent rounds, although the third step can only be achieved in Round 3 or later. The "key" is also replaced if it is lost to Bankrupt in the round that it's picked up.
