When playing multiple FFF games, the question is constantly the same.

The double dip lifeline accepts more than two wrong answers unfortunately. I've tested it with several questions on different levels

Thanks for awesome work , please add support for utf8 on questions.

Would it be possible to have full screen host, guest and audience screen?? as now we cant make them bigger thanks

Hi, would it be possible to allow resizing the Host, Guest and TV Screen? Also, would it be possible to implement a fullscreen option for these screens?

First of all: Thanks a lot for the latest release. I am looking for the FastestFingerClient in the release but I am unable to find it. There are only three .exe files in it, 2x MillionaireGame.exe and QEDIT.exe.

Feature idea / request: Sometimes I get to stall a bit after the answer has been logged in and it would be cool if the music could keep looping to benefit the tension

Please add an option automating the following:

• If the 'Show Correct' toggle is enabled when a new question is shown, disable the 'Show Correct' toggle.

Most often I enable the 'Show Correct' toggle just before revealing the answer. But I forget to disable it before showing the next question. Meaning I accidently see the answer when I don't want to.

Would it be possible to have the question text auto resize if the question is too large to fit in the box instead of cutting text off?

Good evening.

I was trying to delete a FFF question from the database in the Question Editor, but once I clicked "Yes" to confirm the action, the question is still in the database and did NOT delete the entire question. Is there any way you can fix this issue?

Will this be possible in future builds?

When you use "Change Level" to move a question to a higher or lower level, the Answer in Field C is being overwritten with the answer from Field B.

Change point system to seconds and miliseconds when determing the fastest player in FFF.

Hello,
Are there any plans to keep a database from one release to another?

Because I started to contribute a database, and I noticed that the notes field was not editable but would be in the next release.
It's just for information, but if it could be possible, that would be great!

Finally, when is the next release planned so that I can test your work? :)

I'll test FFF server soon and I'll tell you if I have troubles.

Thanks !

Hi there, thanks for this very complete software !

I just have an issue where the answer is longer than few words, like:
"Michael Biehn's head on Brandon Lee's body" gets truncated to "Michael Biehn's head on"

Which doesn't really work out...
Making a fix for that would really help a lot doing better questions.

Also editing levels questions doesn't work

Thanks !

I've been wanting to use the fff stuff but I don't know how to do it. Can someone help me?

Some editions of Who Wants to be a Millionaire have, a lifeline, called "Ask the Host". It be cool if that could be added to the software. References: https://millionaire.fandom.com/wiki/Ask_the_Host | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_QFzP0McSc

I have a macbook and would love to use that game for my friends to have fun and have a laugh.

Hi!

I played a full game and just realized that level 4 questions never appear. I think you got it wrong with the levels because we should have a question of LVL4 when we are at the 14th level (500,000). Because when I validate it, we have the victory music of the 1,000,000.

Could you fix it quickly and do a new build? I'll need it quickly for a little night out with friends.

Thanks you!

Finding questions and adding them manually is the hardest and slowest part of using this application. There is a online questions database which is API accessible, I suggest adding an integration to directly pull questions from this db into the app.

https://opentdb.com/

One button to quickly pull five easy, five medium and five hard multiple choice, any category questions would mean a user would be able to immediately play the game.

And perhaps a separate button and UI with filters for 'select a category', 'select a difficulty' which then you pull one question at a time. The response displays the new question and the user can either add the new question or request a new one.

Additionally, having functionality where the host (who is likely the one adding the questions) hasn't seen the answers, mean they can actually play with the ask the host lifeline.

If the player used the Double Dip lifeline and guessed the correct answer on the first attempt, then Double Dip's final answer music cue will play for every final answer thereafter. Currently, the code looks like this:

Public Shared Sub FinalAnswer()
        Dim stopmusic1 As Thread = New Thread(AddressOf StopCue1)
        stopmusic1.Start()
        If chance = 2 Then
            dd_Final.URL = Application.StartupPath + "\Sounds\doubledip_final1.mp3"
        ElseIf chance = 1 Then
            dd_Final.URL = Application.StartupPath + "\Sounds\doubledip_final2.mp3"
            active = False
        End If
        dd_Final.controls.play()
    End Sub

A simple fix is to add another "if/then" within this subroutine that checks if the player guessed correctly, then deactivate the lifeline. Here is the code that does that:

If HostScreen.pnlAnswer.BackColor = Color.Lime Then
            active = False
End If

I have a Win 11 PC and I couldn't start the program, because I get a 50 Error code Local Database Runtime Error, and I absolutely can't find the solution for this. I spent a whole month for this and still nothing. Any idea? I would be appreciate, because I've used this before (and I really liked it) my another PC which was a Win 10 operating system, and worked perfectly. Oh and 1 suggestion! The Lights Down sound needs to be change and a bonus lifelines (for example. you have 5 or 6 lifelines maybe or you choose the option: switch the question or double tip or else)

Hello,
Would be nice if we could show things like the Video Intro, Commercial Brake Video and other footage on the TV Screen. There is an option to play the sound but there is no video. Or am I missing something??

Thanks!

Hello, I am really enjoying this as the user interface is a lot friendlier than other projects I've seen!
I want to report an error where, after using lifelines and advancing to a question, the program crashes.
Specifically, I triggered "ask the host" on question 11 (third of four available lifelines). After the answer was revealed and I attempted to click on "Question" to advance to question 12, the program crashed.

Hello,

I did some tests on your application (which is great by the way), but I noticed a very annoying problem, if we do not reset the questions used and there are no more questions to move forward in the game, this one crashes completely.

Wouldn't it be better to just have an error rather than a complete crash?

Thanks for your work and don't hesitate if you wants test for anything :)

Can you make like the theme changer and making animation on the question?

The FFF client is missing from the files after downloading and unzipping the release

Suggestion from Much More Matt:

Hey Marco, please read this. The "Light's Down" sounds the in the game is playing the wrong audio files.

"q1_to_q5_lights_down" plays for questions 1-5 (game levels 0-4), "q1_to_q5_lights_down".
"lights_down_classic" plays for questions 6-11 (game levels 5-10),.

Turns out that both audio files are the exact same (besides length) with different names.

Then "lights_down_2" plays for questions 12-15 (game levels 11-14).
 
In the SOUNDS folder, "lights_down_" 1, 3, 4, and 5 exist, but aren't being used by the game.

"lighs_down_classic" is supposed to play for questions 1-5,
"lights_down_" 1-5 are supposed to play on questions 6-10, and then again for questions 11-15.

Hopefully you'll have this fixed in a future update.

Love the game!

It would be nice to be able to import all questions at once, for example from an Excel file. Of course with all attributes, such as a correct answer, description, etc.

Audio keeps cutting of sometimes when clicking on other open windows.
Most of the time, this will happen in FFF level.

"How do i install this when i run the 1st time setup it shows error, and do i need to install Microsoft SQL Server."

When on Windows 11 (or sometimes 10), there will be a lot of errors when you don't have SQL Server LocalDB installed or configured. Therefore, the game cannot run.

• Update code and startup structure. (adding clear error message)
• Change install guide.

I can't type Vietnamese words or sentences, especially when there are accents, it often shows characters like ?,//...

Hello, may I ask you how to implement Double Dip lifeline? I can see people taking about it here, so I assume it can be somehow activated...?
Thanks! Daniel

Can you make an Current Money Tree Editor Please

So I suggest a money tree editor that would look something like this:

For the risk mode section, marking the boxes sets the value to a safety net on that mode

The range for the amount of questions you can set is 1 to 17

There is also the ability to change to mode into shuffle mode (US 🇺🇸 2010-2015), when changing it to that mode something like this will pop in:

Right now the Ask the Audience appears to be based on an algorithm to randomly show percentages but leaning towards the correct answer.

I think it would be awesome if there was a way to link this up with Twitch to get results from chat (could also be a nice way of implementing FFF as well for Twitch, as most viewers are not super tech savvy with the FFF client).

If the above is too big a project, I think it would be a great addition if you could even just input your own results for the Ask the Audience instead of it just being generated by just an algorithm.

Feature Request - Provide option to add question in other language (I tried with my native language Tamil. Its all question marks. Provide option to change music files, since the original sound tracks will bring copy right problems in social media.

• Config file for storing all info
• Name & Profile picture

This for making separate contestant profiles and information about the person.

This issue is regarding to the implementation of the lifeline Double Dip.
With this lifeline, the contestant can have two chances to give the right answer.
And to add a menu to choose the lifelines that are active in the game.

Summary:

• Implement new lifeline Double Dip
• Add a menu for custom lifeline sets.

Hello i'm from Czech Republic, and we have diacritic in the text like this ( Příliš ) ´ and this ˇ.
When i write question, diacritics will show until i saved it. For example i wrote this Příliš and after save it look like this Prílis.
Can you fix this little bug?

Feature Idea:
I was watching episodes from the British Who Want's to be a Millionaire and there contestants are able to set their own safety net in the range from 2,000 - 500,000 after reaching the question before it. Example: the contestant answered right at 8,000, they could set their safety net at 16,000. I can lookup references if necessary, if that helps

When the Plus One lifeline is activated and the call is ended earlier than in 30s, the time disappears, but the phone icon still remains on the TV screen until the app is restarted.

Convert the current money tree to a more flexible, customizable one.

• Custom guarantee money prize/positions.
• Amount of questions (12 or 15).
• Custom prize values.

Hey Marco,

First off just want to say what an absolute masterpiece you've created for us all to use, I'm really grateful that this is open source to use.

Everything has been great so far, I've found a couple of quality of life changes that could be made but one that's really stood out to me is when the timer starts for the FFF functionality, the 3 stabs and thinking music play at the same time. To match the original format of the show, the stabs should play first on their own and then play the thinking music after.

Hope that makes sense, really looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the future for this!

Once a question for fastest fingers has been created and saved, the order of answers cannot be changed. The reset button is greyed out when the question is edited.

An improvement suggestion from Tanner Stockton:

Wonderful software! However, maybe add the ability to add an explanation for every question, like in the real game. This explanation would appear on the host screen after the answer is locked in. Besides, this is an amazing software and great job to you!

How to type questions in cirilyc font? I can`t. I think that there is not UTF8.
What to do?
