Jeopardy — Not a Job Fair @ '26

This is a small static Jeopardy-style web game. The project contains an HTML frontend, styles, and JavaScript that runs entirely in the browser.

Files of interest: index.html · game.js · questions.js · questions.csv · style.css · rules.html

How to run the code locally on your laptop?

• Option A — Open directly (quick):

  • Double-click or open index.html in your browser.
  • This runs the app from the file:// URL. The board and built-in questions (from questions.js) will work.
  • If you want to load a custom CSV of questions, use the Load questions button in the UI and select a .csv file.

• Option B — Run a simple local HTTP server (recommended):

  • Some browsers restrict certain file operations when pages are opened via file://. Serving the folder over HTTP avoids these issues.

  • From the project directory, run one of the commands below and open http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

  • Python 3 (built-in):

    python3 -m http.server 8000

  • Node (optional):

    npx http-server -p 8000

  • After the server is running, visit http://localhost:8000 and the app will load normally.

• Loading questions:

  • The app ships with sample questions in questions.js.
  • To import your own questions, click the Load questions button and choose a CSV file formatted like questions.csv.

• Customizing the logo:

  • Place an ecell-logo.png image next to index.html to replace the SVG seal.

• Troubleshooting:

  • If the UI doesn't load or question import fails, run the HTTP server option and reload the page.
  • Use the browser console (DevTools) to inspect errors (Ctrl+Shift+I / Cmd+Option+I).
  • Opening from double-clicking may incur CORS Error on questions.csv
