- Call us for an odd experience...
-
- This program is NOT copyrighted. You are free to modify it and do whatever
- you want to it, but please give credit to the original author. I'd also like
- to see any changes. If anybody is interested in donating me money for it,
- call Emephyt and talk to me. You will probably like the board so it shouldn't
- be a waste of your money. Got about 150 files now, and there will be more. I
- am working on several online games for Skyline... they will be available for
- download on Emephyt. So become a registered Skyline Sysop on my board today!
-
-
- PURPOSE:
-
- I have seen the other trivia games out for Skyline. They all seemed
- to be diverging from the point, for me at least... so I wrote this.
- it is a very simple trivia game. There is one file with all the
- questions in it. Users may answer them over and over. They are however
- prevented from placing twice in the high score list. So, when you
- change the questions, delete the highscore file.
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- Put ZenTriv in JMP:
- Edit it for the right subdirectory and scoring information.
- Make the subdirectory: Ztriv
- Place these files in that subdirectory:
- "instruct" (instructions file)
- "hiscores" (high score data; will be created if not present)
- "trivdat" (file with questions)
-
- And edit your JumpMenu!
-
-
- Trivia File Format:
-
- # of questions
- question 1 =
- answer 1 = The correct answer must be preceded with an "!"
- answer 2 = Other answers must have a blank (or something except
- answer 3 = "!" and "-") before the answer.
- answer 4 = Omitted answers must consist only of a "-"
- . =
- . = Example:
- . =
- question n = What is two plus two?
- answer 1 = 22
- answer 2 = !4
- answer 3 = -
- answer 4 = -
- =
- = NOTE: If there is more than one !, all ! marked
- = answers will be counted correct.
- = If there is no !, the user will always get it
- = wrong.
- =
-
- 10 questions have been included! My suggestion for getting more is to pull
- out the ol' trivial pursuit game set and pick questions, then make up the
- multiple choice answers... in time, if anybody likes this program, I might
- upload a file loaded with lots of questions...
