Battle for Japan with ScoreBoard

This game is 100% based off of UonumaRobert's Battle for Japan game! The only differences are:
- I've added a small code to the PowerPoint that will keep score for you.
- You can hide the scores to do a big reveal at the end.
- You cannot accidentally clear the game board.
- Because I've added code to this PowerPoint, you must allow your computer to use it. It is a safety feature much like the "allow to edit" request. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, then please use the original game!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• White boards, markers, and erasers for each group
• Copies of a list of questions for each group

DIRECTIONS

• Divide your class into groups.
  • An even number of groups works best. (6 or 8 groups would mean two groups work together as a team under one color.)
  • If you have an odd number (5+), you can allow the team of one group to choose two prefectures each time.
• Groups work together to answer questions from the question list on their white boards.
• For each answer, have one student from that group bring their white board and questions list to you.
• If they are correct, mark that question complete on the list and have them choose a prefecture.
  • Once a team has chosen their first prefecture, they may only choose a neighboring prefecture after that. They can take prefectures from other teams by defeating them in janken.
• The game ends when the board is full or you can specify a time limit. The color with the most prefectures wins.

GAME PLAY

• You MUST click the play button on slide 2 or the New Game button on slide 3 before you start. (This initializes the variables in the code, so if nothing is working, try clicking New Game!!)
• Same as the original game, click the desired prefecture: 1 click = red, 2 = green, 3 = blue, 4 = purple, 5 = back to black.
• The Hide Score button hides all the scores.
• The Show button shows all the scores.
• Click on a hidden score to show only that score.
• Click on a visible score to go to that color's winning slide.
• When closing the PowerPoint after a game, it will ask if you want to save it. Just say no. If you save it, the colors in the map will be saved but the scores will not.

TECHNICAL TIPS

• If nothing is working, make sure that you "allowed" the code to work.
  • Next try clicking New Game.
  • After that try closing the PowerPoint and re-opening it.
  • Lastly try restarting your computer (it really does help sometimes XD Updates are important, too!)
• The code may not be perfect, so if you are experiencing glitches, let me know what is happening and I will see if I can fix it!
