I'm trying to make a Jeopardy program for someone?

I'm doing a special project for a friend. She has been using a PowerPoint version of Jeopardy, and isn't too thrilled with it. I have a moderate command of VB.Net, basic command of Java, C#, Flash, and only rudimentary knowledge of HTML and CSS. I wanted to make an Internet version, so she wouldn't have to download the desktop version on a work computer. Any ideas? The version is someone modified, so all of the cookie-cutter Flash Jeopardy games wouldn't work. I have a desktop version completed, but I have no idea how to go about making it online-accessible. Please help!!!I'm trying to make a Jeopardy program for someone?
Well - since you haven't told us in great detail what is happening on the local level, I'm not really sure how to direct you on the online level.



Normally, something that works locally (in your browser) will also work online *if* it is written in code that is "standard" (accessible) from an online page. JavaScript and PHP are probably the two most common online computer scripting languages (JavaScript runs on the "client" side - the local computer - and can be used to modify the appearance and activity of the web page; PHP runs on the "server" side, and is used primarily for database access and to modify HTML according to data entered *before* the web page was loaded); flash is, of course, very portable, as is Java.





Judging by what you *have* written, you're best bet might be to program it entirely in Java and then include that Java program into a simple web page. It may be that Flash is better for you - but the same thing applies. Instructions on how to include Java and Flash programs in a web page are all over the internet, and requires "minimal" HTML and CSS.
