Description | ||
| I've wrote this
"kit" for Radio DeeJay an italian radio
station (the one with the biggest audience rating). The
purpose was to increment the game zone on their web. This kit is a complete "trivia" kit, that let users to create their own trivia with the KTrivialMaker application, play with them on the net (or in local) with the KTrivial applet, having the opportunity to memorize the high-scores of every trivia thanks to the KTrivialHSServer application. Once launched, this applet shows you a list of different avaiable trivias, letting the user to choose one of them. If the applet is setted up for working with the High-Score server, on the starting page the user must insert his name. Once selected the trivia, the applet start reading the trivia from the net, prepare it and start showing every question to the player. For every question there are 5 answers, but only one is right. At the end of all the questions, the trivia ends. Before returning to the starting screen, will show a score page. The score is a percentage value of right answers on total questions. If KTrivial is setted up for working with the High-Score server, on the score page there is the opportunity to watch high-scores. One of the most interesting feature of this release of KTrivial is that you can use your preferred language. The applet uses the english language, but with a simple text file, you can realize and use the one you prefer. If you wanna try it, click HERE to see the first Radio Deejay test Trivial all in italian. Creating a trivial is very simple. I wrote an application, called KTrivialMaker, that lets you create them from a simple text file. To see the instructions click HERE. The questions of a trivia are shuffled, so the sequence you save on the source file is not important. The answers are shuffled too. Using the High-Score server is easy too. Click HERE to see instructions about the High-Score Server application, called KTrivialHSServer. |
