Hey Guys, Here are some screen shots of WOFFan2008's Puzzle Board Program. He created it around 2013 and let me have a copy to use for my home games. He no longer is a member here on the boards, and several attempts to email him about distribution permissions have gone unanswered. Does anybody know what the correct course of action would be? He never specifically prohibited me from sharing, but at the same time, he never gave permission either. I'd like to err on the side of caution to avoid a snafu. I didn't input any puzzles, but the screens below will give you a sense of how it works. It has the basic cues: right letter, wrong letter, double buzz, toss up, puzzle solved, bankrupt, etc. In the puzzle input portion, in addition to the three toss ups and bonus round, it has the ability to store nine main game puzzles. Any other questions, please post below! Welcome Screen Toss Up Input Main Puzzle Input Bonus Input Main Round Control Bonus Control -A

That's awesome! I'd love to have something like this...if only the puzzle board would fill the entire screen.

I think it's because there would be nowhere for the control panel to be if it went full screen. The last email I received from him was a PM here and he said that his HD crashed and he lost all of the code and he was starting college and didn't have the time to dedicate to rebuilding the program. My only gripe would be to make the blank squares a darker green. If I get some advice from other senior members on the board about what the proper etiquette is about software sharing, hopefully I'll be able to safely distribute it.

woffan2008 didn't seem like the kind who would rage about this getting posted. I think you'll be fine.
Besides, I like the look of this program.

The correct course of action is to let sleeping dogs lie.

Just going to step in here for a minute- As someone who has had woffan2008 create presentation programs for use in online games, I'm certain that he would actually not be cool with his software being shared around the Internet. Either way, I'm going to post a little snip bit here from The Rules: If you want to keep your account here, I strongly suggest that you don't share his program. Nick has done great work for me in the past, having created both a Millionaire display program along with a puzzleboard/DPG one, and I'd prefer to maintain his respect and not redistribute his work...even if he is no longer around. Anyways, STILL LOCKED
