Networked Jeopardy

Network Jeopardy is a multiplayer Jeopardy quiz game that a student and I wrote to use in my classroom so I could have students form teams and compete with each other. The quiz contained questions and answers from the course content. So it has all the classic features of Jeopardy, letting players ring in, keeping track of the scores, Daily Double and so on, and allows you to create question and answer sets as a plain ASCII text file. This was back in the days when the computer lab had one workstation for every two students. So there's a jeopardy client that runs on each workstation and the jeopardy server that the instructor manages. It worked great and was a lot of fun.
