Wheel of Fortune Fan Recreation/Game Night - Episode 2!

Hi again everyone--here we are with Episode 2 of our Wheel of Fortune Game Night series! In this episode, you'll see some new content such as a crossword puzzle as well as the Letter Streak! Scroll down for a breakdown of round-level information, as well as some updates that were made to the game based on your feedback that will appear in future episodes. Please don't forget to like and subscribe so we can continue making great content!

FYI: This episode was filmed at the same time as the pilot, prior to social distancing guidelines coming into effect. We hope everyone is staying safe!

GENERAL INFORMATION
The wheel is 40” wide and is custom-built using all sorts of methods and materials: 3D design and printing, electronic paper cutting machines, and LOTS of other fun things that really helped me bring the wheel to life.

The puzzle board is custom-built software I spent the better part of a year building out by learning how to code VBA and perform some graphic/animation design.
FYI: None of the above can or will be distributed, so please do not ask.

THANK YOU/SHOUT OUTS
Christine, Chris, and Gabriel—you’re the best contestants ever!!! Thank you for being my test subjects and supporting my sometimes-insane hobbies.

None of this would have happened without my amazing friend Nicole, who literally brought out everything you could want for filming: microphones, tripods, mounts of all kinds, LED lighting, and her 20,000 cameras—this wouldn’t exist without her. She is a level of talent I can only aspire to be, so please check her and her amazing team out!

UPDATES BASED ON YOUR FEEDBACK
1. A bug was found that caused some delays during toss-up letter reveals. It's been squashed and the toss-up letters now reveal just like they do on the show as well as at the same 1-second time intervals.

2. During the speed-up round, the buzzer is no longer heard when guessing a letter that is not found in the puzzle.

3. The software in general has been visually cleaned up/streamlined so it is a bit more organized and the puzzleboard has less around it during gameplay.

ROUND-LEVEL BREAKDOWN
The wheel is loaded up with a Gift Tag, the Wild Card, the Million Dollar Wedge, the Vault Wedge, the Free Play Wedge, and a Prize Wedge at the start of each game. The Vault Wedge is always re-added to the wheel each round, even if it is removed in a previous round (win or lose; the Vault amount resets if it is won, however)—everything else stays on until won/lost or once the Speed-Up round is reached.
