Hi
for the coding battle contest i'm gonna make an IRC bot that asks quiz questions once a day/hour or something (not sure of that yet, maybe every 8 hours to reach every time region).
everyone on the channel can participate, and the first one to answer the question will gain e.g. 10 points, and at the end of the month a final score will be calculated
the one with the most points wins of course.
i guess it can be fun, maybe not, we'll see :P
grtz

Nice, in which directions will the questions go? Programming? or what? :P
And will users be able to add questions?
-
hmm, i guess i'm first gonna find a quiz question site with an API, so that i could easily get questions and their right answers xp
i don't think adding will be possible, since then i would make a database, and i have not a single clue on how to start something like that :o
so the theme of the questions will probably be general knowledge, but programming questions would be more correct :) i'll take a look for those questions
-
What you could do is just make a text file with lines formatted so you can see the questions and answers easily
-
yeah, that's true.. not a bad idea actually :)
I found a website (not with an api) that contains a lot of quizzes, maybe i could pick some of those, and have it combined with some user-added questions
this is the site (http://www.academictutorials.com/answers.asp?id=34) (with an example of a java quiz)
