I'm just curious- how many people here have used klik software throughout their education to some extent. I mean for example, I had a project not long ago that involved creating a web page, and instead I opted to use an MMF java applet which scored me many points. But since KnP came out I've used it occasionally for oddjobs like computer labs in middle school, homework in high school, projects in college, etc.
I've done that at least once. In 10th grade, we had a week where we worked with stuff fitting a specific theme. I used TGF to make a cartoon about 2 young guys who listened to heavy metal, beat up and old woman and robbed a bank
I also used MMF to make a slide show for a presentation during my edcuation, though i can't remember why i didnt just use Power Point
I've used tgf several times in high school. One time I used it to make a powerpoint-like presentation where every slide had to have different transitions (never do this it takes so many steps in tgf D.
Another time I did it I made a game out of a presentation. I re-drew the nes mario sprite to look like Benjamin Franklin and coded up a mario 1 engine - turtles(yes full movement!) and goombas included =p. When you hit question mark boxes, information popped out instead of coins, mushrooms, etc. Then you went down a tunnel at the end and the app ended.
Only one person showed any interest in it =/. My friends and I were laughing the whole time during the presentation .
I made a typing program for my info tech teacher in fifth grade. I don't know if they still use it now but they did last time I checked a few years ago. It was pretty awful, I'd give them an updated version if I had the chance. I've also helped my brother make two games to show his teachers, but both times floppy failures made a big pain out of it.
I used it to create an MTV presentation for university. Then my stupid mexican tutor had a macbook. He saw it eventually on one of the university computers.
I used MMF2 a few months ago at my work by developing an app that goes through hundreds of csv files and parses some information from them to a new file - simply because I could make that much faster with MMF2 than Visual basic etc.

yech, that was one of my problems
I remember back when I was a wee little kid bringing a floppy disc to class with my project on it, and we couldn't run it anywhere since they were all macs. I ended up just talking my way into the grade by describing what the heck I had made and impressing the teacher all the same
I must have used floppies waaaaay longer than apparently the rest of the world did, because someone got mad at me in Gwerdy for being confused that someone didn't know how to use one. ("Why the [heck] would he know how to use a GD floppy?" O_o Like it was a vinyl turntable. ) I know they were phased out some time ago, but I didn't know it was so long ago that it had become specialized knowledge.
I do it all the time. I am the last year of my study at the academy of arts (for a teaching degree) and will spend most of the year making an educational game on art history with some fellow students.

Back in early high school, I made a Klik n Play game based off of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" for my final project in English class. It was a group project, but I ended up doing most of the work. I'm not sure if anybody really "got" it, but it got a good grade, anyway.
I used The Games Factory to make a few other attempts at projects throughout high school, including the platformer "Timmy in the Land of Angles" for math, and a presentation for "Heart of Darkness" in my senior year that may as well have been made in Powerpoint.
...And for what it's worth, my final project in college was a MMF game. But, as I was shooting for game design at that point, that wasn't too unusual.
