This started life as an idea I had when browsing Twitter one evening and ended up evolving into a fantastic #wdc
Here’s my project page so you can try it for yourself and remix it for whatever purpose you choose:

If you do end up remixing it, please leave a reply here and let us know what you’ve used it for!
Development
I tried to keep the design as simple as possible while retaining as much of the original functionality as I could. There are 6 labels and 3 (visible!) buttons. One button for each answer and one to start the game. I’m using 1 label to show the question and the other 5 to record what the users answer was and whether or not that answer was correct.
Since this type of scoreboard was new to me I started by adding the blocks for that. To make it as easy as possible on myself I further separated out the functionality into:
- Recording the users answer (“C” or “K”)
- Using green/red highlighting to show if the answer was correct incorrect.
One other little “hack” I used here was just to test with the word KitKat and Candle because I knew I could come back later with a list of products once I had the scoreboard working:
My first attempt wasn’t great - the answers were clickable before the game started, the scoreboard started in the wrong place and there was no “end game” condition…but it was still a good start.
But I was able to fix them pretty quickly with just a few minor updates:
Once I had the first few bugs ironed out I was able to go back and add in the lists of products.
Finally, once all the products were added in I create a simple score counter and added in a few more (hidden) buttons for remixing the app and sharing the score - try it for yourself and see if you can get 5/5!
Next Steps
At the moment I only have 5 KitKats and 5 Candles, so the obvious thing to do is add in some more. After that, I’ve had a request to make sure no questions get repeated each round and aesthetically I’d like to improve the overall look and feel of the app. Right now I think the only other thing I’d like to add in is a time so that you have to complete the quiz in 30 seconds or so. If you have any features you’d like to see added in, please let me know.
