1. INTRO and NEWS:
------------------
phpQuest is a Quiz and Test script programed in
php. Thus it is a "Quest." This script is still in
dev but I will cotinue with it later.
New! Now you can make your quiz/tests show the average
of all the other people that have taken the test/quiz so far.
Coming soon, I'm working on an edit interface to non-tech
people don't have to edit their include.php files to change things.
As of right now this option is disabled.
2. FEATURES (CURRENT):
---------------------
+Make a Test
-This is great if you would like to test the
users on your site.
-This outputs a numeric number value, and even
a title if you wish. (ex "Your are 70% geekx0rz")
+Make a Quiz
+Rank System
-Lets the quiz maker have 4 custiom ranks for
when the user gets 0-25%, 26-50%, etc...
-Also a way for the user to uplaod pictures
that repersent each rank
-Quiz is simalar to somthing you might see in
a magazine or on a blog.
-Quiz outputs a _non_ numeric value rather it
outputs somthing like "Your a geekx0r!"
+Generic
-Delete a Quiz/Test
-phpQuest dosent need any other files to run you
quizes and tests so zip up your dir and send it out!
+HTML Output
-After the user takes your quiz there could be a
feild for them to copy the score or rank they got
into their own website. (This is great for bloggers)
+Over all user rating, if its a "test" then the test
maker will have the option of showing users after taking
the test what the average score was. (Might use SQL later on)
+Customization
-You decide how many quesions and options you want.
+Generation
+Save
-User can save their generated quiz to the
local web server.
+Cookies! This will stop people from the same computer
or IP address from taking the quiz/test over and over.
Well all know it will not be the most secure way but it
will be okay.
+No god damm SQL! (Yet!)
3. INSTALLATION:
----------------
Edit your 'confif.php' file. Uplaod all your files to a webserver.
Make sure in "quiz" there is a dir called "saved" and chmod it to "0755"
When a quiz is saved it will go to ./saved/<quiz name>
Take a look at the _bugs_!
4. VAPOR FEATURES:
------------------
Here are some features that are to come don't worry! If
you have an idea for a feature, drop me a line.
+Add a way to edit the quiz/tests that you make by telling
the script where the quiz/test is and then edit the include.php
+A randomize mode so the order of questions are different each time.
+More customizalbe look and beter layout for the whole
quest experance.
