Trivia System

[gilgamar]

Any love for a trivia system? I made a simple plugin that allows you to build a trivia game. It lets you pick a set of random questions from a larger pool of questions so you can always present the player with a different trivia each play-through. The questions and choices are up to the user to make, the trivia system just enables random shuffling and selection of questions. Furthermore, it will take the set of answer choices and shuffle those as well so the choices should always show up in a different order. The player will actually need to pick the correct answer instead of just memorizing the position of the correct answer. 


I'm kind of tempted to horde the code for my own glory since I've implemented it in an upcoming game. But if there is enough interest I could maybe make it public and refine it further. What I've done is actually pretty trivial (pun intended) and could be replicated easily. Just thought I'd share the idea and hope for some feedback and suggestions. I'm not sure how popular trivia in games are these days.

Hey, this is the second time you've posted one of your (very cool) plugins in the Game Mechanics Design subforum, so I think it's worth letting you know this isn't really the place for it - Completed and In-Development MV Plugins each have their own subforum that would be more appropriate.


While I can't think of too much need for such a plug-in in my own games, I've definitely seen requests for this kind of thing before, so I think your work could certainly be a benefit to some game makers if it's something you want to share!

That's cool. I've posted a few things on plugin release and in-development but since I wasn't really planning on releasing this one but rather discuss it I thought I should post it here. Let me know if that's the right place for discussion or not or if it should still be in development.
