I'm just finishing this now (so no graphics yet!) It's about 40% done (but it's fun to play!)

[link]

Instructions:

-Pull the level on the right (click it and drag the mouse down)
-When the 'barrels' stop try and find a correct combination; click 'BET' if you think that combination is ok
-It costs '25' to play each game
-You lose '50' if you're wrong
-You gain '100' if you're right.

It is good to see that it lets you go into negatives.I lost a lot of money (points). At first I was just clicking on the button and nothing happened. Then I realised that you had to pull (drag) the arm down to make the wheels spin. I like the sound effects. There are not many correct combinations, but it is a really good start.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments; I posted some simple instructions underneath. It's very early on in its production, but we'll get it there!

Inglish: Flash didn't work, or the game didn't work?

ww: hehe, but it is possible 'most of the time' to win consistently (I promise!!) :P

It could become addictive. I think you should explain that it costs 25 to play each game and that you lose 50 if you're wrong and gain 100 if you're right. It would also be better if you used it for idioms or phrases that are clearly right or wrong as there are some phrases that are perfectly correct grammatically but you lose if you bet on them.
Anyway what am I criticising it for? It's a lovely game really.

Thanks Lr, I've updated the text accordingly.

I know; we've got to get a bunch of teachers to review all the exercises (They come from the Englishmed site) It's a time-consuming job, but they've started work on it.
