This has to be the neatest SN app I've seen!

Thank you. It certainly was challenging and educational. We're looking at doing a "deconstruction" of it on a future TechNow episode.

Nice work, this is some really good examples for each of the area's you touch on.  Also, your video is clear and easy to listen, though I don't have the best concentration and had to watch it twice.

From the real show, I'm adding in cards I pulled in by setting up a JSON importer and then loaded about 20K questions and answers to my instance.  The only thing I had to watch out for was converting the real dollar amounts to the difficulty levels and then swapping questions for answers.  Lastly making sure the answers were in the form of a question.

I like the features this shows to my team, and we will be using this as a team building exercise and then reviewing the area's you setup to make this work.  If I like how the newly imported cards turn out I will upload them for use. Big thanks!

Hi Neal, 20K cards. That's ambitious. I look forward to seeing the XML data. Thank you!

Attached here is the first game I created from my 20K cards I will be making available. 

There are about 2000 cards [Doh!] that need some amount of cleanup.  Things like image insertions and html tags that I didn't realize were embedded. But at least here is a taste of what can be done with the Jeopardy update set. 

Just remove the demo players and add yourself and test your knowledge.

Hi Neal,

Congratulations on being the first Jeopardy game contributor!

FYI - the export utility only exports the cards and categories associated with the game. If you converted 2000 cards, only the 31 with that game come along with this XML. You might want to consider manually doing an Export XML on the Card and Category table if you want to get them all.

So, thanks Chuck, I was aware of that, it was all about getting a sample set out there and then showing what I have gotten cleaned up.  I want to say I don't take credit for these cards or the work it took to type in all the shows Q&A's, that is the creation of J! Archives.  

So, the first attachment includes about 19,500 cards and I have done my best to clean them up of syntax and html code remnants. 

The second includes the 970ish cards left that need to have work done to them as they need some extra time for the attachments to maybe have an API (SOAP/REST) pull based on the URL file location in the answer.  I just have not had the time.

Anyway, I have about 5 more of these 20k packs and will work on getting an automated solution to the addons but if someone has time and wants to share a solution, then I will share my cards more quickly.   

EDIT: May 12, 2022 - I have not seen any movement here for a need of more cards so I believe the 19,500 cards are enough for anyone to host the game.

Any chances this will be updated to go with the newer versions of SNOW? As i needed to get a dev instance with Madrid on it to get this to work.

I've tested this through Orlando without issue. My suggest for testing on any version would be to get a personal developer instance with the desired release, load the update set (and optional data) then test away. That way you are sure it will work with the release you want.

I didn't write anything to be release specific so it should work for several more releases to come. 🙂
