Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

duh, thanks. dunno how i forgot that stuff. implemented

--- changes ---
- took out the timer, it will come back later when I implement different Modes
- built in a system to prevent duplicate questions as much.
- some GUI changes were made to make things easier
- can now skip questions quickly

--- future ---
- different modes, with different limitations
-- modes will allow for a scoreboard system


thanks to all who are helping! keep up the great submissions and suggestions!

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

Just noticed at you only get one chance to answer a question correctly.
You might want to fix that one too, in one of the modes...

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

hmm.. sounds good to me. ok, its implemented. now users can guess multiple times at a question until they get it right, or get fed up and can goto the next one.

http://www.charlieslab.com/trivia - if this things keeps up, I am also considering a domain purchase. feel free to suggest ideas there as well. thinking http://www.firsttrivia.org/

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

Dont hurry with the purchase. See how it works for a couple of weeks.

Keep te great work =]

Reporting is now fully functional. So if you come across a problem, some spam, or whatever, please go ahead and report it and I will see it and take whatever action is necessary to fix the problem.

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

This isn't anything big, but typos bug me.

When you submit a new question, the message in green along the top says, "Your question was submit." the same for the error message, "Your question was not submit."

In your Quick, VERB NOUN and VERB It On NOUN For Points! category you spell robotics robitics.

The game is pretty sweet, I really enjoy testing my FIRST smarts. I would like to know the answer to the one about what team's mascot is a flying pig, I tried both Exploding Bacon and 1902 and neither was right, so what is that answer. Also the one about who is the 1337est programmer I don't know.

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

If you check my picture, the flying pig answer should be easy, and the 1337est programmer is definitely Charles. He did make the game after all.

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

Then who is the coolest one?

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

I posted the second question with multiple versions and capitalizations of Charles and Charlie before the new non-caps sensitive version started. Charles said he would delete repeat questions eventually.

The question I can't get is the team with the "brutal" 2 weeks System Engineering sessions. Its eating me up inside.

Exploding bacon's mascot is a pig on a rocket......still a flying pig....just not one with wings!!!

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

330.

What I don't like about this game has nothing to do with the software.... It seems like people are just tooting their own horn and being way too specific. Also, most questions are '07 based. Enough of those.... Let's get some REAL trivia in there (First champ winner, first 2 time champ, etc...) from at least before 2000.

EDIT: This question is getting me;
What team number was the first team to win 3 regionals

Is that in one year? 3 in total? What counts a regional (in the early early days)?

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

Edit: A more stylish answer than what I had before.

Look at the domain name of this forum. The answer is right there. :D

1998 they won 3 regionals.

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

This is a lot of fun, but is there any way that the answer could be checked by hitting enter as well as answer? I keep losing my questions this way.
Thanks!

Re: FIRST The Trivia Game
 

FireFox won't allow repeats of one question. Also, I can't figure out how to put multiple teams in one answer, as one question seems to require.
