quiz Help!!!!!!!

Hi Guys, I am 14 years old and developing an app that is mainly quiz based and I have run into a few roadblocks. 1st problem: I am trying to make 5 separate quizzes with different questions for each quiz and one quiz with all of the questions. Quiz 1 would use the first 20 question, Quiz 2 would use the next, etc. and the big quiz would use all of the questions. So my question is how do i have 5 separate quizzes using different questions and one big quiz using all of the questions without having to do maually (I was thinking of using the nicknames of all he quizzes in the one big quiz but that is not possible) 2nd question: is there an option to make all of the quizzes' header images the same without having to it manually for every single question. I looked within the global theme and there is no option for header image. 3rd Problem: for my quizzes I would like to have an option where they can review the ones that they have gotten wrong and have an explanation of the right answer. how would i do this? Extra information: I am, new to buzztouch. I have read the manual already, and I need a step by step walkthrough on how to fix my problems if you can help me that would be great and if this can not be done, if you could provide a substitution that would be great. PLS HELP ME

1st question- since your new at it, I would suggest doing it manually. I did with mine and didn't take to long as i have over 80 questions in each of my quizzes. 2nd question- I host all of my images on photo-bucket for now which has been the easiest for me. Are you referring to the image on the menu for the white image that loads with every quiz? If ur referring to the image integrated into the quiz i changed it manually by editing the code on xcode. 3rd question- No idea as this isn't built into the App itself. Hope the info i gave you helps as im learning as I go. Wouldnt of been able to do it without the Support of everyone here. Good Luck :)

Step-by-step programming instructions are behond the scope of this forum. It sounds like you need to learn and understand some backend programming and take advantage of some dynamic data options. a) Build a list of quiz questions in a file on your server. b) Point to the file with each quiz screen's data-url (filter the questions on your backend to provide all or some of the questions based on what screen is makign the request) c) Same with header image, @fusionmtx is on the right track here...how the images on a server so you can re-use them easily. You could also create ONE script on your site to output the JSON data to drive all your quiz screens. d) Wrong / right. Build a custom scoreboard URL script to grab the data after the quiz is done. When a user wants to review results, output the info you saved on your server for that user. No other easier way to do this - really. This exercise would be a great learning opportunity for you if you've never worked with a backend scripting language like .PHP. It would be much easier to learn and do this than it would be to try to save/store/filter data on the device. Data management on the device itself, using Objective C is MUCH MORE difficult than using a relatively simple language like .php
