What is a .JMS file?
A .JMS file is a type of file that is made using a program called Hot Potatoes. Hot Potatoes is a special computer program that lets people make different kinds of quizzes, puzzles, and problems for others to solve. These can be used by teachers for their students or by anyone who wants to create interactive learning activities.
The .JMS file contains all the important information for a project in Hot Potatoes called a Masher project. Think of a Masher project like a big puzzle or quiz that you're putting together. The .JMS file keeps track of how this project is supposed to look and work. It remembers what each part of the project is supposed to do, how the project should look to someone taking the quiz or solving the puzzle, what buttons should be there for them to click on, and how to find different parts of the project.
To open a .JMS file, you need to use the Hot Potatoes program. Specifically, you need a version of Hot Potatoes called Half-Baked Hot Potatoes. This version of the program can read the .JMS file and show you the Masher project just like it was designed. You can then work on the project some more, or you can use it as it is if it's already finished.
Verification
Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files. If you want to suggest edits or updates about .JMS file formats, example files, or programs that are compatible. Please contact us.
