Hi,

I'm currently thinking about trying to program a quiz within Mushclient.

The questions would be sent via a game channel. Answers would be multiple choice and sent via tells.

I could easily program the questions into a set of aliases, and I could trigger the tells to pick up the answers.

My questions are has anyone done something like this before and maybe made a plugin for it that I could use?

If I'm the one to start this off, I need to figure out how to tie an aliases in with the timer function.

And decide upon a scriptinf methond, to handle the trigger answers. Auto scoring would make running the whole thing more easy.

I havn't coded in a fair number of years, and my skill level would be fairly basic. Any scriptin I did do, I would have to be referencing the syntaxs. So i'm open to suggestion as to which language would be best to use for this.

Also open to other opinions/suggestons.

Thanks all for your time/help.

I don't think it's been done.

You could make a series of questions and have it pick one randomly.

You would need to get people to answer is a set way (eg. Nick whispers, "Answer B").

Then make a trigger to match on that response, check if it was right, and if they had already answered.

You would also need a way of knowing who was participating so you know when everyone has answered.
