I can't take any credit for the Graphics, they were created by Bruce. When I do a lot of my stuff it is bare bones, and then I try to make it look nice later on. But then again, I am still learning and concentrating on getting the code right, so the graphics, for me, are an afterthought.

I will say that if I could make graphics easily that looked like this I would do it to increase the appeal.

Thanks for the comments
Thanks for AutoPlay

In the couple years I spent teaching design classes I was constantly amazed at the low quality output of all student group projects. It's uncanny, you can take 4 superb artists and put them in a group and at the end of the week they inevitably end up submitting some macaroni glued to construction paper or something of equivalent verve. There must be a lesson to learn in all of that I'm sure...

TJ,

I like your application. It has a nice clean interface and intuitive steps. For a software engineering course we had a group project where we made something similar to what you have and I gotta tell you it wasn't as nice looking as yours. We had 5 people in the group over 4 months (although ours was made with Java, JSP and a DB2 database) but in the end AutoPlay seems to make a nicer interface in much less time.

Good job Tigg,
Good job AutoPlay

The review page should be dynamic in that it will only show you four questions at a time. There are Next and Back navigation buttons to allow you to see more questions. You can also click on the questions to edit your answer. I have made some changes so you can see the page you are on and the total number of pages. I also figured out that if you went to retake the test it would give you the same exact test, that has been fixed as well.

Tigger,

your test is very cool!

Even tho i failed the test twice (with intentional wrong answers, sometimes) the review page displayed only the same 4 questions?

Re: Quiz application - Looking for constructive feedback

It didn't come up during the questions. I did get the "Ice Man" one though. LOL

Did you get the dancing banana question?

Re: Quiz application - Looking for constructive feedback

To make the quiz more fun to take, I added additional questions. You will have to download and retake the test to see what they are. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Quiz application - Looking for constructive feedback

There is a new file on the site for download, I have added page numbers to the review page. Take a look if you want. The other items I am thinking of adding are the ability to "mark" a question for later review or be able to skip a question. And lastly a Timer of some sorts.

Re: Quiz application - Looking for constructive feedback

Not at all. I did the same thing, and figured I would try it in AMS. This will only support question and answers in multiple choice or true/false. Not anything more complex. But there are a lot of testst that I have taken that are multiple choice and boy were they tough.

Re: Quiz application - Looking for constructive feedback

I always impressed with you guys that know code or at least have the correct inspiration. But, I was on a mission to find a similar application for a client's website. I needed to post a Trivia quiz with some variables...etc...

I found this freeware and it would easily work with AMS either as a web feature or a program.

So, TJ, hopefully you do not take insult to my post in respect to your efforts but thought it might be helpful.

Re: Quiz application - Looking for constructive feedback

Thanks, I will put that on the page, and maybe change the layout.
