ISIT307 Assignment #1 Solution

The purpose of this assignment is to create an interactive website by using web forms, manipulating strings and arrays, and validating/handling user input and text files (for storing and retrieving information).

Aims
After the user finishes the quiz, the result with the number of correct and incorrect questions, gathered points from the current quiz ([number of correct questions] * 5 – [number of incorrect questions] * 3), as well as the user’s overall points in the current attempt (from all quizzes) should be displayed.
The user should be offered to start a new quiz on the same or another topic. Also, the user should have the option to see the overall scores of all players in the quiz (Leaderboard - cumulative points of all attempts per user), or to “Exit” the quiz.
The ‘Leaderboard’ should give an option to the user to order the players by their nicknames or greatest score. When the “Exit” option is chosen, the nickname and overall points of the user should be displayed. The option to start a new attempt (by entering the nickname) should also be given.
Every topic should have at least 10 questions in the question pool. In each quiz, 5 questions will be randomly chosen and displayed to the user. During the quiz, the user will answer questions one by one, i.e., each page only displays one question. The user can navigate the questions via the ‘next’ and ‘pre’ buttons.
The text files should be used for storing the data needed for the website (questions, points per user).
