View Full Version : New Quizzes Area is Live!
Here ya' go (http://www.movieforums.com/community/quiz.php).
There are two big changes, one of which will be immediately obvious, and the other which will unfold over time:
1. The whole area's been redesigned. The quiz home page, the individual quizzes, the questions, the results, everything. It is, in my opinion, much prettier.
2. A whole ton of new quizzes, courtesy of The Rodent, the site's de facto Quizmaster. Only a couple are visible now, but he's going to be making the others live at a fairly steady clip going forward until they're all available. He's single-handedly more than doubling the number of quizzes in this area.
One note going forward: because this area (and a lot of the quizzes in it) have been around so long, I've decided to exclude quiz results from before the site's relaunch last year. It was getting a little crazy having the entire Top Scores area be filled with perfect totals, most of them literally a decade old. Rest assured I've saved all the old scores for posterity, so they're not lost to the annals of time or anything. But for now I think it's best to start (mostly) fresh with the results, given the dramatic overhaul that's taken place.
Enjoy. :)
Oh, and naturally, if you notice any bugs, just let me know and I'll take care of them ASAP.

Looks great. I've got a few more ready to add.:)
Awesome. :up: Yeah, Slob's already sent me another, and that'll be up before too long, and people are invited to create their own and submit them. Give me a heads-up first, though, so I can make sure nobody else is writing the same one, and because there are some things you can do to save work for both of us and all that.
Just took my first quiz since being here. Did terrible of course, 9/20 on Oscar quotes. I'm really bad at trivia but I will try a few. The section looks great.

I wanna make a quiz. How do you make a quiz?
There's no function built into the area publicly, but if you want to just drop me a quick line letting me know which so I can make sure no one else is doing it and run through the general structure they have to fit (nothing too cumbersome). :)

Fellowship has been on the site for a long time but I wrote quizzes for Towers and King to tie in with Fellowship.

Got 20 out of 20 on the LOTR: The Two Towers quiz. Got 17 out of 20 on The Fellowship quiz (would've got 18 but got Sauron and Saruman mixed up) then quickly got 20 out of 20 the second time.
Great job on the renovation!

Some of them, Jack Nicholson quiz for instance (not available yet), is a proper toughy.

The Sci-Fi Slob
04-02-15, 12:13 PM
An overall leaderbord is a must.:yup:
I'm pondering how to do stuff like that. The problem is that difficulty varies a lot from quiz to quiz, and some people take a lot more than others. Should someone who takes one (particularly easy) quiz and goes 10 for 10 be at the top of an overall leaderboard? Etc. So a lot of ad hoc exceptions and rules would be necessary to make it particularly useful (or fair).
I do want to get some more stats up there, though. But I'll have to wait until it's been up a bit and we have some fresher results to work with.

Wouldn't it be better if it didn't give you the correct answers you got wrong?. It's just you can take the quiz again and then get 100% once you know.
To counteract that, we'll only show the first result (I might need to rewrite the code because I'm not sure the correct result is being excluded, but worst-case scenario it'll just be a bug I'll have to fix if it crops up) among the top scores.
Missed 2 on the BTF quiz, unbelievable. If I can't ace a quiz for a movie I have seen twenty times there is no hope for me.
Turns out I really need to brush up on my Jack Nicholson trivia. I got an awful 1 out 10. :o OK, so I haven't seen too many of his movies and the only one I own is The Shining but I thought I knew him better than that.

Two notes:
1) Quizzes now work on the mobile style! Yay. If anyone feels like taking a quiz and is willing to do so on their phone to help me test things out/confirm that it works for them, that'd be great. :)
2) The Sci-Fi Slob wrote a Blade Runner quiz, which is now live (http://www.movieforums.com/community/quiz.php?quizid=95). :) Thanks Slob!

Ok quizzers. I've had a thought.
I wrote quizzes for movies, and then did the sequels too, like Scream and then Scream 2-4 and Lethal Weapon, then Lethal Weapon 2-4 etc etc.
Not all of them of course, like Tremors and RoboCop, but there's a handful of films on there which don't have quizzes for the sequels :(
Plus my OCD is playing up :)
Seeing as a couple of you have caught the quiz writing bug and have been adding to the collection already (great stuff too btw), any chances someone could take up writing for these?
Someone to write for:
Iron Man 2
Iron Man 3
(Plus the rest of the MCU, but only if you feel like it :cool: )
Someone to write for:
The Matrix Reloaded
The Matrix Revolutions
Someone to write for:
Spider-Man 2 (Sam Raimi)
Spider-Man 3 (Sam Raimi)
Someone to write for:
TMNT 2: The Secret Of The Ooze
TMNT 3
The TMNT ones aren't too important though, but the others I think would look cool if we represented them along with the first quiz that's already up.
I'd do some of them myself but I haven't the DVD to be sure of the Qs and As.
They don't have to be anything difficult or super tough. 10-12 questions per quiz with 4 possible answers seems to be the best way to go.

Hah,no i meant better one with britney in it ;) :lol:
but seriously though,i have seen that one too! isnt it a classic though,ialways thought it was!
I haven't seen the one with Britney, but the one I posted the trailer of is a great underrated movie. I never hear anyone talk about it, so I just assumed that nobody else has seen it.
no i assumed no one on here has seen the britney one on here hence the joke :lol:
I always thought the one you posted was one all great movie fans knew about,i dont know why. i dont even know how i came about watching it.

I saw it so many years ago that I can't remember if I watched it on cable or DVD. :shrug:
Maybe I'll find time for a rewatch someday.
