Although I was surprised to see El Greco and not Velázquez designated as "the most successful painter of the Spanish High Renaissance," I consider Mr. Curless' very attractive and exhaustive effort more than worth the price.

Velazquez is considered Spanish BAROQUE far more often than Spanish RENAISSANCE... Of course, I once thought that the Simpsons wouldn't last more than two seasons, so my judgment could be questionable. LOL Enjoy!

Hi there! You most likely have an outdated version of Flash player... go to adobe.com and download the latest. (At the very least, right-click on the SWF file and Open with --> Internet Explorer or Firefox or whatever browser you use... Let me know if this works or not, and have a great week! :-)

I'm a tutor and I am looking for some aids to help one of my students (and help me learn all this too!). Since I got my M.E in Science, I don't have a good art history background. Therefore, I am wondering if you have Presenter notes included, and answer keys. Also, are there any options to buy some of this and not all?
October 2, 2012
Matt Curless BEST PPTs and Games (TpT Seller)
I might be able to help you out.. The curriculum comes with VERY detailed Powerpoints (about 90 in all) and each PPT has 30-60 slides... It also comes with numerous tests (WITH keys) that were made in MS Word, so they're very easy to edit. Email me at mcurless@hotmail.com if you have any more questions! :-)

Hi Matt--I've bought a couple of your works. I teach Art History, Computer Graphics, and Animation so your posts are a good match for me! Does the Learning to Use Flash download include the complete instructions in this document? Do the instructions work in Action Script 3?

Awesome question... That document is for AS2, and give you some sample ways to do various game designs... They're handouts that I give to my students. If you want, email me at mcurless@hotmail.com and I'll send you the other AS2 lessons if you're interested.

Would this be appropriate for a beginning level art history course on the college level. 100/200 level?
April 20, 2012
Matt Curless BEST PPTs and Games (TpT Seller)
Absolutely. It was originally created for Advanced-Placement Art History on a high-school level, but most of the info was developed from true Art History textbooks like Janson, Gardner and Stokstad. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me at mcurless@hotmail.com!

Angel Bivins (TpT Seller) re: "Family Feud"-Style Classroom Game!
Hi Matt,
I recently purchased your "Family Feud" game, and really like what it has to offer. I have built my text file and done a few quick test runs before I use it with the kids. I have run across a somethings that is quirky and I don't know if it is user error or if the program is designed that way. I was in the HOST GAME mode.
Issue # 1. Control of the board - If all answers are given control bounces from team 1 to team 2 just as I expect. But when a team gets 3 strikes and the other team gets control (they can give correct answer or strike), the game does not consistently move control in a manner that I can explain to the kids. For instances Team 1 strikes out and Team2 gets control they strike out, control sometimes goes to Team 1 and sometimes to Team 2.
It does not matter which round it is in the game.

Hi Matt, I just purchased your American Feud game; however, there is only a text file in the folder. There is not a PPT or any other file where I can actually see the game. There are 2 text files, 1 shockwave object, 1 application, and 1 Word Doc (that says Read me, It's Important). I did what it said in the Word File (transferred to my desktop and double clicked on the folder), but I still don't see an actual game. Help!

Hi Matt, I contacted you in December about neededing an adjustment to the Family Feud game, adding a lighting round, just like they do on the TV show. Have you been able to do that?
Also, I noticed today while testing my answers, that you can only have 10 rounds. I need 43. Is it possible to add more rounds? It's a 3 hour class and we have so much to cover and 10 rounds wouldn't be enough.
Thanks!

mccov re: "Family Feud"-Style Classroom Game!
Hi Matt,
I've downloaded this program and so far it's working great. Just one question... Is there any way to set up a "face off" at the beginning like in the real Family Feud game where one player from each team guesses and whoever guesses the most popular answer gets to choose to play or pass? From what I've seen, the way it is set up now, Team 1 automatically starts first. Thanks - Mark

Hi Mark! Yeah, I've thought long and hard about the best way to do a face-off, but the best method would be to have both teams hover over the keyboard (which doesn't work well in a classroom setting)... If you've got any good ideas, let me know! :-) (And yes, Team 1 starts first, then Team 2 starts teh 2nd round, then i THINK it's whoever is winning starts the next rounds...) Enjoy!

dcmccoy re: DRAG RACE - States & Capitals Game!
I just looked at the sample thumbnail and noticed that two states did not match the capitals. Kentucky's capital is Frankfort/not Louisville and North Dakota's capital is Bismark/not Fargo.

The cities are randomly placed on the screen and the user has to drag the capital to the appropriate state... if you notice, there are 5 capitals and 'distractor' cities to make it more difficult. (In other words, if you play the game, you'll see that the capitals and states are accurate!) :-)

Is this application downloadable for mac? if so, how?

I've had several people download it and play it on the mac with no problems - but I'm not sure what your specific question is... you're best off giving it a shot (perhaps with the help of another mac user) and email me on the ReadMe file in the folder when you get stuck. Enjoy!

Can you increase the seconds on the Family Feud game to give the kids more time. I work with SPED students and it needs to increase to 60 seconds or just left out if possible. Great game and design. Lori

Actually, as we speak, I'm in the process of making that as one of the changes! :-) "American Feud 3" will debut this weekend - but since you already bought it recently, email me at the address in the ReadMe file and i'll send you an update! Have a great weekend!

juliwade re: "Family Feud"-Style Classroom Game!
Just wanting to make sure this game is totally interactive. Can I actually set up two teams, ask questions, select their answers, keep score, etc?????
Also, in reading through the previous questions, can you still update the name of the game with a specific group, if desired?
Thanks!

Hi Juli... The answer to all of your questions is YES... I've updated it recently so you can change the NAME of the game, too. All you have to do follow the directions included with the game. If you ever get stuck, just email me, but the directions are pretty easy to understand. Have a great day!

Matt - is this a PowerPoint program?
October 22, 2009
Matt Curless BEST PPTs and Games (TpT Seller)
No, it's MUCH better than a PowerPoint program... it runs off of the Flash player on your Internet. Follow the direction included on the ReadMe file that I included, and you should be all set. (As always, email me on the address included if you have any questions. Enjoy!)

Hey Matt I recentely bought the family feud game for a lesson in my class, I am not sure if I have just missed reading it somewhere or not, but are you able to type in your own questions and answers into the game?
October 1, 2009
Matt Curless BEST PPTs and Games (TpT Seller)
absolutely! that's the best part about it! the questions and answers are stored in a separate little text file that's included in the folder. to edit the text properly, simply read the READ ME file that is included with it. Enjoy!

I can't locate the ReadMe file. Where is it?

(1) double-click on the ZIPPED file that you downloaded. (2) inside that forlder is a folder called Wheel of Fun... Drag that folder to the desktop. (3) Inside that folder you just dragged is a Word document thats named "READ ME - IT'S IMPORTANT." Open this file.

Hi,
I'm trying to find a version of family feud and I think that I saw you had one, but I can't seem to find it on the site now. Do you have the game? I need it to have 6 rounds with 3 strikes and two teams. If you could let me know I'd love to purchase one.
Thanks,
Candy

Matt, I read your readme file and used your Flash file. I cannot get the program (swf file) to run at all and the two files are together. I would like to use the program in the next few days. Can you help me find a solution to this? I am running Vista 32-bit.

(1) Be sure you have an updated version of Flash 10 (which is included in the package)... (2) Make sure the whole yellow folder is dragged out of the ZIP file to the Desktop. If this doesn't work, email me at the address in the ReadMe file. Thanks!

OK, Got it. There are some characters the game doesn't like. & symbol does not work. Had to take it out. One other problem. I have 7 questions. if I choose 7 rounds I sometimes get a blank question with 8 blank answers and with "undefined" for the score. I'm going to try adding an empty question with 0 as score. maybe that will work.

Matt Curless BEST PPTs and Games (TpT Seller)
I always use a couple more than what I need... For instance, if I need 7 rounds, I'll make sure I have at least 10 questions... Since the questions are drawn randomly, it reduces the numbers of problems for the last question. Good Luck!

On the Feud game, I'm having a problem getting "Host the game" to work. I can "Play the game" but when I click "host" it goes to the team name screen and I can change the options but when I click "Use these names" nothing happens.
Also, I like the idea of being able to change the name of the game on the main screen.

Once again, shoot me an email (the one that's on the ReadMe file)... There's a few glitches in Flash Player 10 that's causing me headaches... :-( I have a Flash update that may work, but I'll have to email it to you... Have a great day! ~mc
