World’s hardest easiest quiz

October 1, 2011 by . Filed under cs491 mobile, fall 2011, postmortems.

This program takes a list of questions from the world’s easiest quiz that’s been floating around the Internet if you look around a bit.  Most questions are tricks, which is what makes it so fun!  Information is generally input and output through dialog boxes, and the program is started with a Wargames-esque button next to the words “Shall we play a game?”

As far as creativity goes, I’m generally not a very creative person, but I was able to include an extra dialog box giving the user their score at the end, and I also have the system side of this Spanish-ready (though probably not with very good Spanish in this case) using strings files.  The questions, however, are not tied to the xml file and are written in the user’s language of choice.

Pardon the large screenshots, this came from my tablet directly.
