Cauldron
Of
Fortune

 

Developed by David Lavery

Using Microsoft Agent Technology

 

This is a program that has been developed for a Year 11 IPT assessment item and therefore contained a time restraint with respect to the time spent on the programming.  It also means that the class in which it was created gave input whilst the program was being developed in order to enhance the program.

 

This program is based on the famous Wheel of Fortune TV game show.  In following this show the majority of standard rules have been utilised, although a few may have been left out.  In keeping with the Wheel of Fortune style a Microsoft Agent character, Merlin, was used as the host and so it is required to play the game (see the section below for the link).  The files required for Merlin are the Microsoft Agent Control, Merlin Character, and the Lernout & HauspieŽ TruVoice Text-To-Speech Engine which can all be found at the website below.  In order to see the complete set of rules or instructions on how to play please download the program.
