FIRST The Trivia Game

That looks great!
a few tips:
* You should add some more answers to the questions, or ake them multichoice.
There is a question :" what is the name of the camera that loves to find green light?"
answers could go : cmu,cmucam, cmucam2, cmu cam, cmu cam 2 etc...
a multi choice will solve it...

* Maybe add an option for users to play on/without time...

*show the correct answer once answered wrong...

*next question could be closer to the question, and not in the other side of the window...

once again, looks great!

good stuff. i agree on the multiple answer idea, implementing as we speak. the no time option I will also add, as I think I agree with you.

not a fan of showing the answer, but I will consider it and wait for some more feedback. the only reason I dont is cause I planned to implement a scoreboard system, and I wouldnt want people abusing the available answers.

and yeah, I will move the next question link.

thanks!

anybody else, bring em on, i love em.

Seriously do consider showing the correct answer for when you have a large database of questions. This will prove useful to people like me who want to find out the answer and remember it to show off later. Also I was asked the same question 3 times in a row. You may want to fix that.

Multiple choice will definitely help. On the camera question, answering 'CMUcam2' (without quotes) as it is correctly referred to was considered wrong. At least if there is a choice of answers then it will be easier to guess exactly how the original answer was worded.

Otherwise, looks good.

You could make the answer button respond to the enter key, and not just the mouse button. Other than that looks great, and you already have a small database of questions going.

To add to the idea, you may want to be-able to add more answer to to the same question like Art mentioned. As for when it asks about a specific team, the answer of just inputting a team number may not be seen as correct if you were looking for their name or acronym or nickname etc...

ok, the multiple answers feature has been implemented. now the people making questions can supply a list of answers, seperated by commas, and any of one which can be used as a correct answer.

and i think I will show the answers. and when it comes time to make the scoreboard system, I will make a tougher version of the Play mode, with a small time limit (which means I will remove the time limit from normal Play mode). so if someone does abuse, they must be good and so deserve it, LOL.

just some thoughts. great suggestions guys! keep em coming!


edit: and I will work on the enter button response. FYI: it works in Opera with no code written by me. (I luv my opera)

Is there any way for us to go back and add answers to our questions now, or does that have to be done by you?

since everything is anonymous, I would have to do it. if you add the question again I will see it and take the proper action.
