quiz question categories

I'd like the user to be able to take a quiz by choosing a category (eg. History, Geography, Pop Culture etc.) This would require two things: first, more than one quiz would need to use the same database of questions; and second, each question would need an extra value associated with it which identifies the category. I know the obvious answer would be to have my own database of questions on a server...but the whole PHP script, JSON format output and whatnot seem beyond my comprehension at this point ;) Can either of those things be accomplished simply with what buzztouch already offers? Specifically, I feel the first one can be done...maybe going in to the code and changing where each quiz retrieves its questions from to the same location? I'm working with Android v 1.5, so I haven't been able to take a look at the code yet...

One approach would be to create a Menu List (or some other sort of List) where the selections available are the different quizzes. That would give you the unique starting point you are looking for. Then you could create the quizzes, pointing to whichever set of questions you want! Mark
