I was thinking that A game for MC using your own Music Library.

Today I Had An Idea, So I Was Playing around with it today. creating a User Interface and changing the control sizes if you resize MC and sort of looks like below

------------------------------------

Player 1 Score

• 
  Player 2 Score [2]
  
  Who Sang This Song: (Song Found At Random)
  
  [Artist1 Button]
  [Artist2 Button]
  [Artist3 Button]
  [Artist4 Button]
  
  ------------------------------------
  
  For Bonus Points Select The Year Of The Song
  
  [_] 1980 [X] 1981 [_] 1982 [_] 1983
  
  -------------------------------------
  
  Any Ideas?

That would be cool for party mode.

Make the choices for artist all from the same genre to make it more difficult.  

Even same sex if you can manage that.

I did have another Idea for a Game like Concentration Where you have some cover art (you can't see it) and you click on the cover art and it turns over and you must click on another and find a match. if it does not match it changes back to Unseen.

I think that all music quizzes should have a 'name that tune' round. Play a snippet in MC and guess the song.

My wife said the same thing last night

Hey, that reminds me of when I was a teenager (some time last century, before the war (in Kuwait))!    Me and some friends used to record 30 second pieces of our most obscure records (kids, they were something called LPs and made of something called vinyl, I still have a few thousand of those...) onto tapes (kids, that was an obsolete form of music recording which relied on a sort of plastic band with magnetism on it) and try to guess each other's tapes. We usually had beer as the prize (well, at least after we turned 16). This could be a very nice way to revive that! Especially with my 20 841 MP3 file library (just imported a bunch of new albums)! Heck, even I would be lost on half of them!

yea when i got home (I am in Bug school for another day, Tomorrow I get to play with Ants). any how i was playing with that as a game so now i have a tab selector with 3 games on it (i need to work out some code now) one of them is "name that tune"

Taught by:

[KingSparta]

well Dr. Gold from Texas A&M is up here (He is doing Termites and Termite Baiting) and a few others (about 20 speakers) from around the USA

I don't have my program guide in the house but it is about that many.

[JimH]

For ants, I like E O Wilson.

[KingSparta]

I don't normaly get into ants but Orkin Paid Extra for me to go to this 4 hour class tomorrow, and it is worth points (CCU's)

I did see a nice show on ants this weekend on Animal Planet. Nice big ones in South America they jump a few feet and will eat you.

[JimH]

The earliest memory I have of this place is what my mom said a long time ago.  It was sometime after I was born in Louisiana, and maybe when they took me along to Texas, but way before moving to Nebraska at age 2.

"When you were a baby, you were bitten by a red ant."

[KingSparta]

Fire Ants Will Kill You, they did a man in N.C. 2 years ago.

Also they really bad to have in a rest home they don't know they are getting bitten if they do some can't tell you and just die from them.

they hurt and people react to them like a bee sting.

[JimH]

Fire ant is right, thanks.  She said my lip swelled up.  I don't think she ever forgave me.

[KingSparta]

well there are a few kinds of fire ants but the Imported Fire ant normaly red and is a bad one.

It is spreading thru the USA.

They should be up your way in 50-100 years or so

So keep your eye out for them.

[JimH]

It's supposed to be -15 F here tonight (around -21 C).  It might take them longer than they expect.

[KingSparta]
