Multimedia Clues [enhancement]

[benf2004]

Add support for picture clues! Many image clues are already in the J-Archive. We would just need to grab those and display them. Also could add support for audio clues.

For images not in the J-Archive, you could use the Pexels API to grab a relevant image by searching pexels for the answer term or searching the whole clue.

This is definitely an Achilles heel of JParty. I'm not sure how hard this would be to implement, also I remember only a few games having multimedia.

From somebody who has played at least 300 game of JParty, I would say about 60% of them have multimedia clues. I will take a look and see if I can rig something up sometime next month!

@benf2004 Hi Ben, We added this in our fork just now. Should be fully working. We will be adding support for images in the custom game spreadsheets soon. Currently, images are displayed to the players without any text (like on the show) but we will probably add an option do display the text and the image together as a setting. If the image is not found it just displays the text as it did before.

We were talking about using some sort of AI or API for grabbing images that cannot be pulled, maybe this is something you can look into now :). We could throw that on our project board though.

@rosslandgraf is your fork available anywhere?
