It will also be much better when it is finished - I've given my students the latest updates and materials on a CD. I hope to upload it all online as soon as I can.

For some reasons the students seem to enjoy the 'Smash the PC' game. I do need to make it a little bit more challenging though. rolleyes.gif

An excellent question. The answer - in a week or so - most certainly. smile.gif I'm currently putting the finishing touches to downloadable programs that allow anyone to create their own versions of all these games without any additional software.

Stay tuned for more details. Walker is currently testing it out. tongue.gif

And from what I have seen so far it is going to be a real boon to classroom students biggrin.gif
Hats off to young Field clapping.gif

It took me 15 mins approx to make using the simplest easy to understand template and I can edit and check the questions. Great for creating revision tests or starters or plenaries in a room suitably equipped.
Great stuff Andrew, I can't wait for the full version clapping.gif clapping.gif

Thanks very much. The cheque is in the post. laugh.gif wink.gif

There are bits and pieces still to complete, but the main program is now finished. Unlike most Flash-based applications this allows you to save and load data files, hence creating the freedom to build and edit your own games as and when you can.

I plan to use the site http://www.contentgenerator.net to promote this games - and you can have a quick look already! ohmy.gif At the moment it describes what is possible and how it all works.

I would certainly advise against that - all major websites use Flash. For example some of the best materials on http://www.bbc.co.uk/news and suchlike use Flash.

I will update this - or rather probably create a new thread when I've got more information. It should be an exciting resource. cool.gif

I know, but at them moment the students spent a lot of time playing all kind of games. As far as I know this is the only way to stop that. Save for looking over their shoulder all the time. If anybody has any other suggestion please let me know!

Connected to the theme of ICT revision, the producers of the popular CGP Publications revision books have asked me to publicise that they are looking for authors interested in writing for ICT
