Releases: Macronair/TheMillionaireGame
Release 1.1.756
First patch for The Millionaire Game 1.1
Caution: This version (1.1) uses a new database design instead of the design used . This mean that when you used an old version and start version 1.1 with a database created in an older version, the program will need to create the new tables in order to use this version without major issues. The old database tables with all the questions will NOT be deleted.
With the brand new import tool in the Questions Editor, you can easily transfer each question to the new design (but you need to set the difficulty for every question individual).
Make sure you also have a back-up of your database in case something goes wrong!
