Making a quiz

[faceless]

I've seen a way to modify a flash quiz game and I was thinking that with the amount of knowledge of the various soaps that people here have it might make for a cool thing if you all wanted to take part in writing out some true/false questions so that I can put them together and make some fully working games. Ideally it would need a few hundred questions in three categories - easy, medium and hard.

There's no time limit on this and if it takes a year to get the questions that's not a problem - it will be done eventually. The questions need to be written in the format below. &q1 = the question number and &a1=1 means that the answer is true. If it were false you would put &a1=2.

You can repeat the question with different answers as I've shown, but it's down to the amount of questions to make the games a proper challenge. The game has around 40+ questions per game but the more the merrier. The beauty of questions about soaps is that you could ask some pretty outlandish questions and even if they're false there will still be a lot of people who won't know.

If you can put some humour in, all the better.


Easy:

&q1=Den Watts was married to Angie&a1=1
&q2=Den Watts was married to Pauline&a2=2
&q3=Phil Mitchell has a head like a potato&a3=1

Medium:

&q1=Steve Owen was murdered because he owed money to a drug dealer&a1=2
&q2=Steve Owen was murdered by Saskia&a2=1

Hard:

&q1=Ali Osman was diabetic&a1=2
&q2=Scottish Andy was killed by a speeding truck while saving a dog&a1=2

Face, I think we have to do this. It's gonna take a couple of days but I know we can come up with 40 questions. What a great idea. You're a nut!

haha, glad you like it - if you check this game you'll see how it will work. I'll change some of the graphics and all the audio.

Time for me to dust off the Corrie encyclopedia.!!

OMG - all that knowledge I have from over the years. Can I recall anything interesting??? I'll get to work on it!

ok, if people want to choose a range of numbers for the questions they add that would make things easier to compile. It would be best if you pm'd me the questions so that when it's finally done you all don't know all the questions. If you can put about 20 together at a time that would be easier too.

The ratio of easy/medium/hard questions should be 1/2/1 - hope that makes sense.

I doubt that any game they come up with would be as good as the one we could knock together- if only I got the questions! nudge nudge.

Face, I'm not kidding you...every day I think about questions for the game. Sadly, I've got two questions so far. But they're good ones! I haven't forgotten you and I think any quiz we come up with is going to be ass kicking!

ok, well because I've got rid of some games the numbers change - it's that sqbquiz one that's in the skill section that I'll be changing.

Sign me up as well, Face -- Although I'm a Corrie newcomer, I've been watching EE since 1989......I'll see how it goes this weekend. Thanks for such a cool idea/opportunity!
