- --------========== How to make your own Questions ==========----------
-
- * WARNING * Don't name your file: BIBLE.TQZ, because that is the question
- file that comes with this, and if you modify it the program may not work!
- Also, if you think that you received a version of this software that doesn't
- include the orginal 100 question Bible.TQZ file, you can obtain the orginal
- VGABIBLE.ZIP from the bbs described later on.
-
- Question Files are just Text files typed a certain way so that Tidbit
- Trivia can load them. To make a question file you first need to start
- your favorite text editor or word processor capable of making text files.
-
- Question files are typed in the format of:
-
- "Question","Correct Answer","Wrong Answer","Wrong Answer"
-
- Lets go through the steps you would take to make a question file
- called sample.tqz.
-
- 1. Start your Text Editor
-
- 2. Type:
-
- "What is one plus one?","2","4","1"
- "Who wrote this program?","Matt Fecher","Weird Al","Axl Rose"
- "How many pennys are in a dollar?","100","50","none"
-
- 3. Save it as: Sample.TQZ
-
- 4. Make sure that Sample.TQZ is in the same directory as Tidbit Trivia
-
- 5. Type 'Trivia' at the dos prompt
-
- 6. At the 'What question file do you want (enter) = Demo.tqz' prompt type
- SAMPLE.TQZ
-
- 7. Then at the 'How many questions are there' prompt type 3 because there
- were 3 questions.
-
- Thats all you have to do, you can go back later and edit your questions, I
- ask that you do not edit the DEMO.TQZ file and then distribute this program.
- If you do edit it, rename it something else. You can take a look at it, to
- see how the questions are written though.
-
- * NOTE * Questions must not exceed 72 characters in length.
- Answers must not exceed 36 characters in length.
