Matching game

[teachspace51]

I'm trying to create a matching game on Powerpoint just like the old TV
game show "Concentration". I've successfully hidden the objects to be
matched with darkened in text boxes and I can get the test boxes to fly
out with a mouse click but can this be done randomly or repeatedly. The
children will select the same numbers over and over until a match is
made so Ifor this to work, I have to make the text box disappear
multiple times but in no set order. Is this possible.

Thanks,
Joe

Shyam has a Concentration game already made:

It uses VBA because some of the things you want to do are easy with
traditional PowerPoint, but some are much harder so VBA makes this much
easier to do.
