TA Trivia
by John Kratz of Amiga Time
I have always wanted a Trivia Door for my BBS but could never find one that I
liked. So, I decided to write one of my own.
How to play:
From the main menu select either option (V)iew High Scores - to
view the top 5 scorers, (P)lay TA Trivia - to play the game, or (Q)uit TA
Trivia to quit the game.
When answering the questions, select one of the multiple choice type answers
(1-4,Q). DO NOT HIT RETURN. The game is HOTKEYED now.
Scoring:
If the player has a score better than ANY of the Top Ten players, their name
will be inserted into the HighScore file and the lowest score will be tossed
out. Also, if the player scores 4-10 correct answers, they will be awarded
extra online time. (The amount of time is configurable, see the TATrivia.trans
file) But, if they player only scores 1-3 correct answers, even though they
may make the Top Ten, they DO NOT receive any extra online time.
Installation:
- copy the TATRIVIA directory to your BBS:Extras directory.
- copy the REXX directory to your REXX: dir
- add the appropriate line to your BBS:Configs/Extras.rx menu.
That's it!
Adding Question files.
First create the question file. Follow this format;
(example question file)
What is the name of the Pink Floyd album with the black background and the
prism on the cover? <--the question
Animals <--answer #1,
UmmaGumma <--answer #2
Meddle <--answer #3
!Darkside of the Moon <--answer #4
! means correct answer
Each questions file must contain 10 questions and 4 answers for each questions.
Don't forget to tag the correct answer.
Also, don't forget to name the file the next in line (i.e. Questions276) and
change line 24 in the TATrivia.trans file to reflect the total question files.
