Startup Other Options

Time to Answer Limited: This option will limit the amount of time a player has to type in the answer to 15 seconds. The clock will start counting down from 15 seconds once the player has clicked on the answer button and the answer text box has become active.

Incorrect Answer Penalty: When this option is turned on, any incorrect guess will be penalized by a deduction of 5 points from that player�s score.

Continuous Play: This option determines if the game will automatically advance to the next question or if it will wait for the Next Question button to be clicked. When a question has been completed (by a correct answer or no correct answer after clue #4) and this option is OFF, a Next Question button will appear, and the game will wait until that button is clicked to go onto the next question. However, if this option is ON, then the game will automatically advance to the next question.

Game Sounds: There are a number of sounds associated with different aspects of the game. There is also a tune that plays during the Startup Window and the End of Game Window. This option decides if these sounds will play or not.

Note: There are certain system sounds that are assigned by your computer�s settings that will not be affected by this option.
