[Android - 1.5] Questions about quiz score system

Hi, I'm new here and trying to make my first Android quiz game with Buzztouch 1.5. I just started but I can see that buzztouch quiz template fits perfectly my needs, except for the score system that I can't understand very well. Here are my questions (please forgive me for my bad english): => Time counter at the moment starts from 0 and then goes on while taking the test, but it has no effect on the score and the player is free to think even 1 hour on a question without penalties. Is there a way to change this? I'd like to make a quiz where the player have, let's say, 2 minutes to answer to as many questions as possible, with the quiz ending when time ends. => When I finish a quiz I'm propted with 4 options. With 2 of them (play again and refresh questions) I can play the quiz again, but the score doesn't reset so that my new score is added to the score i got in the previous game I played. This obviously take away any meaning from scores... is there any way to change this? => Since my game would be a 100% offline game (I found instructions in another topic on how to do this), how recent scores will work on it? Will be displayed just the scores obtained on that specific device? Thanks in advance for the answers, and please forgive me if my questions are stupid, I just started :-)

If you're using v1.5 you must not be working with a quiz in Android - they are not supported yet? You must be workign with iOS or Android v1.4. Hmm... You're free to modify the source-code to your projects however you want, that's the reason we give it to you. How you do this is up to you. Changing the quiz behavior is popular. SOmetimes the changes are easy, sometimes complex, depends on your ideas. If you want to limit the time a user has to complete a quiz you'll need to implement some logic to 'end quiz' after a certain number of seconds have elapsed. Offline: If you run a quiz offline the questions will be in the device but the scoreboard will not be available. Same as above, you'll need to work out a solution to save the scores locally on the device if this is important.

Didn't know it was not supported, sorry. I'll try to look at the code then, could you maybe give me some hints on which file and part of the code should I look at? I recently studied a Java manual but It's my first time with this code so any little help would be appreciated :-) P.S.: I looked for a good Adroid app creator for ages and Buzztouch is the first one that I find really good. Thenks for your work ;-)
