I just created a buzztouch account and would like to create a simple trivia/quiz game for Android. It seems that many people have created trivia/quiz games with buzztouch. Is there any advice you have to give to a noob like me? Are there any walkthroughs that are available? Any ways to simplify the work? I'd appreciate any help... Title Comments Greetings.

BT quiz works great. I've got a couple dozen in the App Store. My suggestion is to build a list of questions and answers first. I create an excel spread sheet with columns for question, correct answer, then three wrong answers. I personally its best if you can come up with 100 questions or more. Then when you build your quiz, have it set to only show 10 random questions each time someone plays. This is the simple approach. You can then tackle more advanced items like incorporating Game Center, and building rewards, and advanced quiz levels. If you want to make a quiz for Android, your options are a bit more limited. You can use the BT version 1.4 to build a decent quiz app. It's a bit limited as far as graphics options, but it works. Or you can do as Fred suggests and find an html quiz module you can incorporate. Search quiz in the forum here and you'll find plenty of advice.

QuizBox http://www.quizbox.com is another alternative. I've created a quiz using QuizBox that's in an app (Android) Mobile Buzz v 1.4 Find it on the Android Market or www.myskylla.wordpress.com As for using v1.4 Android if you wish to play around with it I understand. But you'll find Btv2.0 much better. Fred Comments There are various sites. http://www.quibblo.com/create/quiz They only allow you to edit the quiz for 20 minutes.
