Match options from List1 to options from List2

9 years ago

Hey, everyone!

I have created this account yesterday in order to make a Quiz game for someone. I very quickly understood the Advance Editor. However, there are a few things I wasn't able to understand. How to make a link that becomes unactive after clicking on it, and how to show a variable on the page.

Well, now that I have checked the Help & Info section, I was able to find answers to my questions, and I would like to thank everyone for writing great tutorials.

However, there is one thing that I could not find a simple answer to, and it might require Scripting, which I am not yet experienced with, and I don't know if I'll be able to learn it myself

So, I would like a bonus question in my Quiz game to be a matching question, where the player needs to correctly connect the options from List1 to the required options in List2. (Such as "Match the country to it's capital").

The player would need to make their selections, then press a Submit button, and the game would show which options they matched correctly, and which options they matched incorrectly, so they can keep trying until they fully answer the question correctly. It would also keep track of the attempts count in a variable called Attempts, which increases by 1 every time the player presses the Submit button

Hello Katie, and welcome!

As for the question, how's this for an answr, in pseudo code.

Main page, with links, one each for each country

<Link>Australia => Sends to a page with possible capitals. All links send back to the main page, setting a variable to a number. Could either by 1 for a correct answer, or 2 for each of the incorrects, or 2-6, to specify 2= Sydney, 3 = Tasmania, 4 = Uluru, etc. Each link can be clicked once, by having it only show up is %AUSTRALIA = 0

Then, once all the variables for each country > 0 (so, an answer has been given) a link to the next page opens up.

I can't think of a way of setting multiple answers for the different questions at once, on the same page. But, I'm not very experienced with the editor yet.

That does sound like a good solution.

I actually came up with a simillar idea myself, but requiring the player to answer for each mini-question in order.

You can do it, but it involves a lot of custom link managing that not many know how to do.
