Announcement 10th May 2023

Hello dear users,

Good news! I'm planning to resume the developement of this project very very soon. My schedule is not so busy compared to the previous couple of months. I saw a bunch of issues that are created by you goys. Some bugs and errors but also some feature requests. So my plan is to fix these issues first and then start developing new features to the software. All of those fixes will be in the upcoming 1.1 version (the release notes will mention all changes and fixes in detail).

And of course thank you for the positive feedback and new ideas for this project. But remember, i'm only do programming as a hobby and my knowledge of coding is good (i think? ;)) but not at an expert level. So if you have tips or points of improvement, let me know!

Greetings from the Netherlands! See you soon! ~~ Marco

• Fastest Finger First (+ online features).
• Risk Mode
• Compatible with Microsoft SQL Server (local and server)
• Easy to use Questions editor.

New features, releases, suggestions and issues will be documented in this GitHub repository.

How to install and use?

• Download the latest (or other) release and extract the zip file to the desired folder.
• Run MillionaireGame.exe
• When you launch it for the first time, the database file will be created automatically for you.
• You are ready to go!

Extra information

To use the online features of Fastest Finger First, you need to setup the following:

1. Open the 'FFF Server' in the application. At first, Windows Firewall asks if you want to allow this program. Click 'Allow' or 'Yes'.
2. On your router, port 3818 must be open so that other people can join.
3. The contestants need to have the application 'FFF_Client.exe' to connect to your FFF session. In the texbox, enter the needed IP address.
4. Choose the preferred player slot (1-8).
5. When the 'Connect' button on the client changes to 'Disconnect', then the contestant is connected.
