Hi Everyone, Posting this here because I don't know if this feature already exists... I have created a small quiz app using buzz touch. and I am having trouble with the total / scores. I would prefer a simple 1 point for correct and 0 for wrong answers 20 question quiz. mainly because I am trying to replicate and actual official govt test. But the buzz touch default starts with 150 points and has bonus points after 3 correct answers and all sorts of confusing (to me) scoring system. Is it possible to simplify the scoring system to a 1 point for correct and 0 for wrong type system ? If this doesn't exist , this woudl be a great little feature addition to the existing scoring system. Thanks Title Comments Hi Everyone, Posting this here because I don't know if this feature already exists...

Posts: 15 Reg: Nov 24, 2011 Terra Australis 150	04/13/12 03:36 PM (13 years ago) I am using Buzztouch version 1.4 and I can't see an advanced settings tab, maybe i need to investigate porting the app over to 1.5. THanks for the tip anyway. Can I update it from 1.4 to 1.5 automatically or do I have to rewrite the app?

I am quite dumb with code as yet, Fred from Myskylla.com helped me with compiling this code for Android to begin with. I will edit the points perright. I would love to develop for Ios too, but I am a bit too much of a novice at this stage. Thanks for the awesome tip. Can you also tell me how do I reduce the time it takes for the second question to appear after a question is answered. Once a question is answered it appears to take 2 seconds or so which makes people think the app has "hung" Comments Thanks my friend that is awesome.
