Before You Begin

  1. Create a GitHub repo called TriviaGame, then clone the repo to your computer.

  2. Create a file inside of the TriviaGame folder called index.html. This is where you'll mark up all of your HTML.

  3. Don't forget to include a script tag with the jQuery library.

  4. Create a folder inside of the TriviaGame folder called assets.

  5. Inside assets, create three folders: css, javascript, images

    • In your css folder, create a style.css file.
    • In your javascript folder, create an app.js file; here you'll write all of your JavaScript and jQuery.
    • In your images folder, save whatever images you'd like to use in this exercise.
  6. Choose a game to build from your options below.

Option One: Basic Quiz (Timed Form)

Basic

Click Here to Watch the Demo.

  • You'll create a trivia form with multiple choice or true/false options (your choice).

  • The player will have a limited amount of time to finish the quiz.

    • The game ends when the time runs out. The page will reveal the number of questions that players answer correctly and incorrectly.
  • Don't let the player pick more than one answer per question.

  • Don't forget to include a countdown timer.

Option Two: Advanced Assignment (Timed Questions)

Advanced

Click Here to Watch the demo.

  • You'll create a trivia game that shows only one question until the player answers it or their time runs out.

  • If the player selects the correct answer, show a screen congratulating them for choosing the right option. After a few seconds, display the next question -- do this without user input.

  • The scenario is similar for wrong answers and time-outs.

    • If the player runs out of time, tell the player that time's up and display the correct answer. Wait a few seconds, then show the next question.
    • If the player chooses the wrong answer, tell the player they selected the wrong option and then display the correct answer. Wait a few seconds, then show the next question.
  • On the final screen, show the number of correct answers, incorrect answers, and an option to restart the game (without reloading the page).

Reminder: Submission on BCS
