Trivia Game
20 October 2006, 11:54


Hi I'm new here (obviously blush) and new to having a snitz forum, I'm not sure I've posted this in the right forum but......
I'm thinking a Trivia game add-on for the forum may be a good idea for my vistors, I run a site that is Fan based about the Series Stargate Atlantis. I was wondering if anyone has a mod for a Trivia game or if one is in development at the moment. I have no clue at the moment with any programming or where to begin. I appericiate any ideas you guys may have? <

You can probably use the Poll Mod to take care of your immediate needs for a trivia game. You can find it at http://www.snitzbitz.com<

Thanks I'll give that a try.

I really need to learn how to do programing. That way I can create my own mod's instead of relying on searchs

I wrote a quiz mod for snitz that I never completely finished. It's been awhile since I looked at it, but if I remember right, it worked.
I think I'll polish up what I have and release it as a beta mod for testing. So if you're interested, check this forum for the release. I should have it ready with-in a week.<

I got all my old files together and I'm testing them on a fresh Snitz 3.4.06. After fixing a few minor bugs, everything I've got so far seems to be working. I do see that I never finished the edit file, so that will be the first priority. Other than that, there are some features I had in mind that never got in there. But I'll save them for later.
I'll try to get a "coming soon" post in this forum asap.<

I'd be interested in what you have done. Any chance you could allow your quiz files to be downloaded?<

Table with auto id
Code:
[CREATE]
TEST_TABLE
TEST_TABLE_ID
field1#int#NULL#0
field2#varchar(20)##
[END]
With No ID. Leave 3rd line blank
Code:
[CREATE]
TEST_TABLE
                       'Leave this Line Blank
field1#int#NULL#0
field2#varchar(20)##
[END]

Your quiz looks pretty sharp cool. I like the way the you did the right and wrong answers in the results.<

I'm already finding that out bigsmile
But I would like to see what you've come up with.
does it work with questions added to a database randomly displayed? <

Yes, when you write the quiz you have the option of displaying the questions randomly. Also, you can choose how many random questions to show in the quiz. For instance, you have a quiz with 100 questions in the datatbase. But your quiz only displays, lets say 25 of those questions, picked randomly from the 100.
Anyway, sorry for the wait. I know I said a week, which would be now, but the code was in such sad shape, that even I couldn't make heads or tails of it smile. So I ended up completely redoing the main quiz page and got most of the bugs worked out of it and added some of the features that I had wanted. And I have started an edit script.

So check back, I should have it ready to go soon.<

Sorry about the wait. The code was pretty sloppy and I didn't want to release it like that. I have one more file to finish and it should be ready.<
