jeopyrdy's Issues

Unicode decode error on text-to-speech

If an unrecognizable character exists, text-to-speech reads "unicode decode error".

Watson should be a character

Because robots and computers

Inactive players can buzz in and answer questions

This leads to people amassing all the points from Final Jeopardy and thus destroying us all.

Watson shows up for final Jeopardy

Even when he isn't playing

Catch error when wikipedia can't find page for a particular query

Application crashes when a search for a page that does not exist on Wikipedia is made.

Test game: 860

wikipedia.exceptions.PageError: Page id "bowlion" does not match any pages. Try another id!

After a game, let any user press a button to get back to the main menu

This avoids the need for returning to the computer to start a new game.

Crashes when there's no final jeopardy

;(

There's no back button on the character selection screen

If somebody hits Start before all characters have entered the game. You need to exit the entire game in order to get back to the main screen.

You should be able to choose your character

Like in Mortal Kombat

Upgrade project to python 3

Python 2 support ended in January 2020, so if any real progress is to be made on this project, it should be upgraded to Python 3

Add Raspberry Pi support

I think this project would springboard if Raspberry Pi support were added. What would be involved? Mostly the USB drivers?

Focus the user who is making the selection

Focusing the user who is in control of the selection would make it easier as the user being highlighted in the background is obstructed by the game board.
