Okay so that makes this change something I can include in a future version since its a minor update.

Yes, and that would make your controller a little more complete

Well the only other thing I'd have to include is Germany's Risk Format and maybe fastest finger if I could ever figure out how to get devices made for cheap.

Well for the Risk Mode, there is only the last milestone to remove and the "Ask One of the Audience" lifeline to add ^^

Which makes I think one additional lifeline I need to make. "Ask X of the Audience" Since I think Korea does Ask Three of the Audience. But again, later. Let me get through trying to make this fit on a 720p screen first Not even sure what the average size of laptops are by default. (I want to say 768 height, but I might be wrong.)

Actually it depends what version of "Millionaire" you're following. For example:

In Poland, from March until December of 2010 if the player chose the Risk Mode, "Switch the Question" was added aside of eliminating the 2nd milestone. Also this rule goes to Denmark, Albania and Sweden.

In Austria however, also in the Philippines and Russia, they have the "Double Dip" as an extra lifeline.

Well, a "bonus lifeline" option can then be added to allow choosing the lifeline gained with the Risk Mode being enabled.

It seems to me that Plus One would work just fine in place of "Ask One of the Audience".

I have another curve ball to throw at you. Do you have any plans to support the Australian 11 question format? The use of the classic music in that format was inconsistent with the expected use. I posted a video of it on these boards.

It seems like the slider at the top means you can have game of any number of questions you want.

Correct. Even though the amounts will default to the US and UK standards, you can enter the Australia values if you wish.

I will make a note however, I'm sacking the one question game (aka setting the slider to one) because it's causing me headaches with the logic of the main game and Shuffle format. BUT there will be an option to do the "Audience Participany" question as one off.

This actually looks like a solid project here.

Well what's wrong in both format's logic ?

It's just the way how the program handles its position in the queue and comparing it to Round 2. I think I might have had a fix but otherwise it will always think its in Round 2 which I guess is fine.

Why a one question game? Why not create a Thousandaire function for both formats?

That's what I meant by a "one-question" game
