OSU Quiz / News: Recent posts

I have just posted a long coming new version of OSU Quiz. The new version does away with the separate popup windows in favor of dynamic JavaScript.

Its got a clear look and doesn't cause warnings about external windows.

The new version also uses JQuery so updates/modifications should be simpler.

If you have previous quizzes, you should be able to use this new version with almost no change. The only change to QandA.js is the addition of a variable "FinalCategory".

After no changes in a long time, I have added a GIT repository and have mostly updated this project to use JQuery and dynamic HTML for all dialogs. This gets rid of permissions issues when opening separate windows, and has a better look and feel.

Also, the team scores table is now content-editable so they can be manually adjusted.

Team names can also be edited, but I haven't yet worked that in so that the names are displayed in the scoring window.... read more

Version 2 includes several improvements. There are more options in the QandA.js.
There is an optional "Final Question" where each contestant (team) can wager.
There is an optional DailyDouble which randomly selects a single square and allows the player that picks it to wager on the question.
You can now change the amounts for each successive question instead of 100-500.
Finally, you can set how many rows and columns of questions you want.

Hi all. I uploaded version 1.1, which includes minor changes.
The main thing is an instructional document named instructions.txt that explains how to modify the questions and answers. (it isn't hard).

Let me know if you have any questions.
