My Silly Quiz

[tango88]

Here's my Smart or Stoopid Quiz. Comments?

www.flashbynight.com/test

It keeps crashing at them mo' because it writes and reads to a txt file using php, which is not the best way of doing it. I'm in the middle of learning how to set up a simple mySQL database for it instead.


Also, check out my homepage - click refresh a couple of times, the intro is random:

I know it needs improvement, but constructive crits or suggestions are very welcome:)

um...
quiz: think of less worthless questions...
site: what you'ev done for the intro and main page... learn to do html, flash is only useful if it can't be done in html...
dub: hell yes, i suggest you invest all of your time into it :D

dude, it's trivia. what kind of questions were you expecting? (actually answering that question would be a really good idea! then it becomes "CONSTRUCTIVE critisism" ;), which is what tango88 is looking for afterall.)

i think the questions were alright. you had a broad range of catagories which i would think would be important in a quiz like that.

as for the site...
i like the crazy rabbit, that's a keeper. but beyond that there ain't much to comment on because... well there just isn't much to begin with.

but then again, i think i was something like 63% "stoopider" than the average person, so take my opinions with a grain of salt ;) (btw, i'm not stupid, i'm just slow)

k.

Thanks, both for the feedback.

Yup, there's not much on the site, but it's just a spot for me to hone my skills (I know, I've a lot more honing to do). I've finally figured out how to use flash to read and write a mySQL database via php. The only way to learn these things is through little projects like this.

Best wishes

Hey tango88,

I rather liked it. My only suggestion would be to correllate the timer with the quiz a little more effectively. I see it spinning and I know it jumps to the next question if it times out but I really didn't get that sense of it counting down.

Question: Are the questions being called in dynamically from your db?
