Live quiz manager

Primary LanguageTypeScript

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/hello. This endpoint can be edited in pages/api/hello.ts.

The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.

Build log

  • 29/04 @ 0654 I just built out the onboarding page and team choice functionality. I'm super impressed by convex - it's really neat to get reactivity, and that too persistent and across multiple clients, with such little setup. This project is also the first time I'm using Jotai, I was looking for a way to sync state to localStorage and access it globally and Jotai's atomWithStorage from jotai/utils does exactly that.

    Next steps would be cleaning the admin panel a little and building a mechanism for figuring out when the quiz starts and ends (QuizMeta table - hasQuizStarted row). After that I could work on slides/movement, bounce tracking, pounce functionality, points and then the scoreboard.

    The goal is for this to be a "template" that you clone, customize and deploy before a quiz.

  • 30/04 @ 2150 Just built the start quiz mechanism. Some sort of bulk insert would be nice, right now I'm running 1 insert query/slide - which is okay since the highest value of n is usually less than 100. Building the slide control mechanism now. I'll work on the scoreboard after.

  • 01/05 @ 0119jj Built a scoreboard and wrote code to make the slides change from the admin. I'll work on pounce and scoring next and then direct tracking last - it seems like the most complicated thing out of all of these.

  • 01/05 @ 0451 Finished pounce grading. I was running into some issues with references so I asked on the Convex slack, someone replied and told me to use a workaround. Workaround worked!

    I'll get to direct tracking and bounces next - I have no idea how I'll make that work right now.

  • 02/05 @ 0054 I have some idea of how I want to do direct tracking. I could have currentDirect, currentBounce, bounceDirection in the meta tables. When the quiz starts I could set all of these to default values (1, 1, +1 resp) and create an answer document for the direct team. I render grading buttons (like the ones I have for pounce) on the team that has the direct - when these buttons are clicked I set currentBounce to currentBounce + bounceDirection (with some validation ofc, I'll have to check if the next bounce has already pounced) and create an answer document for the bounced team. I can look at this answer document and render grading buttons in TeamsTable and do the same when a bounce is graded.

  • 03/05 @ 0056 Direct/bounce tracking has far too many edge cases to bother with. I'm going to simplify this app significantly.
