Chaim Chumash Level Maker

Chaim Chumash Level Maker v1.3
(Update 6/30/24)

With this tool you’ll be able to make, play and share your own Chaim Chumash levels!

This program is for Windows only, not Chromebooks or Apple computers. I’m sorry if that means you can’t use it, but please don’t ask me to make a web version. I’d like to someday, believe me!

If you want to ask questions about the level editor please read/comment on the Chaim Chumash Level Maker Documentation page. Any questions posted here I’ll respond to but will be deleted eventually to focus more on level making posts.

If you make a level share it in the comments section below.
Please be encouraging and supportive of each other! If you liked someone’s level tell them!
I want to allow anyone to be able to contribute to Chaim Chumash and take the best levels you make and put them in the game!
So all levels posted here are copyleft open to modify, copy, share, and redistribute freely.

Interface Tutorial. Read the Chaim Chumash Level Maker Documentation!
This tutorial shows you how to make the level delivery blocks. (Sorry about the audio quality I’ll do better next time!)

I’ll be updating this page in the future with video tutorials on how to make levels.

Wheel of Nekudos

Hi, my name is Tally! I’m a talking Talmud AND a software engineer.

I just joined TorahGames to help make this wonderful educational website even better!

I’m starting a blog to keep you all updated on our progress here at TorahGames.

Today I’m releasing a handy tool for anyone practicing pronouncing their Hebrew letters:

The Wheel Of Nekudos. v1.4 (Updates Log)

This is it! I cut it out of felt and sewed it together.


With the Wheel of Nekudos, you tap spin to randomly generate a Hebrew letter and Nekudah.
You can click the speaker buttons to hear the letters, nekudos and combined!

The Buttons on the Left say their names, the ones on the right side make their sounds!

Click me to hear the Letter!
Click me to hear the Nekudo!
Click me to hear how they sound together!

You can scroll around and learn a lot with just these buttons.

You can also quiz yourself!

Try to say it out loud before clicking the sound buttons.

Did you say it right?
Click the appropriate symbol to score yourself:

Correct!
Wrong!

Teachers, you can use this tool to break your class into up to 10 teams and have them compete! The wheel will keep score for you!

Want to spin just one wheel?
Just tap the appropriate arrow to shuffle the letters or nekudos! Have fun practicing!

Spins the letters
Spins the nekudos

Want to practice a specific combination? Just grab the wheels and rotate them yourself!

If you’d like to restart the scoring or adjust the settings hit the settings wheel.

Settings!

Normally the game has fancy effects every time you spin the wheel. The wheel dramatically slows to a halt as gravity overtakes it, every correct answer garners a round of applause and confetti raining from the ceiling!
It’s almost like a gameshow!
But if that’s slowing things down too much try Turbo mode!

I’m Normal
I’m Turbo!

Just click the button to toggle between normal and turbo.


Turbo mode speeds the tool up significantly, but if you want to push yourself to go even faster, try the timer! It will only show up in turbo mode.

Adjust how many seconds players have to answer

Hit the plus and minus to adjust the number of seconds players have to answer the question. By default it’s set to ∞ you’ve got all the time in the world 🙂

Want even more excitement? Try Tally Mode!

It’s me!

Call out a Letter and Nekudo and then give the wheel a spin!
The wheel spins forever.
Challenge players to stop the wheel with just a tap over the Letter and Nekudo you called.
You can adjust how fast the wheel spins, and set a time limit.

Also, If you’re using a mouse you can right click over any button to get a reminder of what it does.


Well, that’s it for today. How do you like it?
Let me know in the comments!
Till next time~
