Quiz app

I have a suggestion which would make the Quiz really useful - how about users can enter their name for the leader board. It seems incomplete and pointless if a user cannot boast about their score. Other than that, great service, thanks guys!

Also is there a way to change the time zone for the scores?

The quiz screen needs improvement - we have made those on the latest version - coming soon. There are lots of updates and more flexibility options. TimeZone is a good example. The newest version has a settings panel for end users allowing registering, logging in (password protected screens), timezones, etc.

One additional question on the Quiz function - is there any way to turn off the timer?

Turn off the timer - hide it, or make it stop, like a pause button? This would be easy to implement in the upcoming v1.5 release, maybe clarify what your idea is so we can include it. To hide it in the current version: Android, in Screen_QuizMultipleChoice.java, set btnPanel.setVisibility(INVISIBLE); to hide it. In the iPhone, in TakeQuizViewController.m, [gameTimeLabel setAlpha:0]; to make it invisible. Hope this helps.

Sorry about the delay - yes, my original thought was hiding it, but being able to pause it also sounds like a great idea! Looking forward to 1.5

Is there any possibility of choosing how many answers are in a quiz question in a future update? For example, if you have a True or False question, you could choose to only have two possible answers rather than the default 4 answers....

Hi in Birmingham: Heard this a few times before. Because the quiz is a complicated screen, it's probably better to create an entirely new screen using lost of the existing quiz logic. Like myNewQuiz or something. A custom plug-in. When we get Android v1.5 done (it's in early beta today) we'll have time to roll out more screen types like this. In the meantime you'll need to hack together something on your own. Like your thinking ;-)

Awesome! And hey, I LOVE this system. I have my own work-around for now, because I just don't want to get too complicated. Here's what I'm doing: Question: blah blah blah blah 1> Correct answer 2> Incorrect answer 3> I don't know (I put those words exactly, it's TECHNICALLY an incorrect answer anyway) 4> I don't want to answer (Same thing) I can live with it just like it is, again, buzztouch ROCKS!!
