i am being searching the web without luck, also is it illegal to copy a question off the web and put it on my game, for ex i got this from a site "Jellyfish as a species are actually older than dinosaurs and sharks" are really questions like this with copyrights?

    There's no copyrights on facts, so you can ask any question in your game you want.

    As far as a template, I think tshirtbooth has something along those lines, or at least a video tutorial about it at http://www.gshelper.com somewhere

    while the facts them selves are open game, i would not personaly directly copy them word for word. but rewrite themout in my own wording. Thats just my opinion on the subject tho.

    thanks, i don't need a template i almost got my game set up i just need to type all my question, is just that i read somewhere in the internet that those question have copyright so i just want to make sure, but i would still prefer to find a .pdf file for sale because my english is not so good and i don't want to misspelled words or type the question in the wrong order.

    I would do like @rhinokey suggested. Just ask the question in your own way instead of word for word. And there are people here that will help you with translation when the time comes.

    well if someone run into a database sheet with more than 1000 question please let me know, as i just did the math and find a little problem, every time a player will play the game vs another player or the AI, there will be 20 total questions per game, so if a person plays 5 games per day thats 100 questions,and to have it worth the $1 i guess 30 day of play is good before they run out of questions so thats 3000 total questions in a month without repeats,i don't think i can search and create this many lol.

    ok so i think i find a good way of how to find lots of questions, i just need to retyped them , i know how excel works but here in mac i have no idea what program to use, how can i type all my questions so i can later transfer them into game salad so each question is in each row?thanks

    Well, you can always download OpenOffice.org (or something like that).

    It's free.
