=== The Script ===
This game is a learning exercise for Stacks & Queues in a CS2 level class. The questions are kept at an abstract level.<br />
It is based on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire! The only difference is that our game allows for competition between groups<br />
composed of three or less students, but the final Million Dollar Question is a collaborative effort amongst all groups.<br />
If the Million Dollar Question is answered correctly, then Dr. Gehringer has to pay up.<br />
The Process:
Step 1: <blockquote> The class divides into groups of three consisting of people from the same row.</blockquote>
Step 2: <blockquote>When the game starts the last row is called upon for question #1. Every group
from this row is allowed to raise their hand and whoever raises their hand first
gets to answer the question.</blockquote>
Step 3: <blockquote>After each question is attempted (answered right or wrong), the next row's groups compete to answer <br />the following question.</blockquote>
Step 4: <blockquote>The game continues to rotate until the final million dollar question is shown. This question is <br />attempted by all students in the class.
Whichever student thinks they have the correct million dollar answer, may come up to the board and show the rest of the <br />students.
The answer will then be determined correct/incorrect by the professor or the correct answer shown on the game. If the <br />student answers it incorrectly, another student may attempt to show his/her answer.</blockquote>
The Game:
*Title Screen appears: Click twice to continue.
*Question/Money List appears: Click next question to be answered(the question number or the amount of money according to the question number can be clicked).
*Question Slide appears:
*#Wait for student/group in row to answer question
*#Click on the answer button according to the student's answer
*#*If student's answer is wrong: proceed to next row's groups to answer the question; return to #1
*#*If student's answer is right: proceed to next row's groups to answer the next question.
