Antithesis Questions and Answers

Hello everyone, here we all are.

How did you come up with the idea?

The first fanfiction I ever read was a story called Fate’s Favourite. It wasn’t complete at the time, but the style of writing and the creative opportunities it gave me made me instantly fall in love with darker styles of writing. I wanted to make a Wrong-Boy-Who-Lived, because It seemed the easiest way to make someone evil to my 12 year old mind. I decided to redo the story, because the plot and attempt behind my younger self were quite good, but the execution was absolute agony.

In regards to the ideas of Antithesis themselves, most of the concepts came from my own interest in animals and biology. I brought in the parasite from my own hate, I brought in the trauma and angst from my own knowledge of mental illness and disease in general.

Why were [characters] named that way they were?

Skylar was named Skylar because in Shadowed Malice he was named as such. I think I just really liked the name when I was younger. Adrian was selected because ‘Hadrianus’ was close enough to work from Harry, and it had a name meaning which meant ‘dark’, because I love throwing in little Easter Eggs.

How long did this take?

Two years, 4 months I believe? Each chapter took around 2 hours to write, then an hour for looking over and editing.

Any random tidbits you didn’t plan that are in there?

Yes. A lot. Almost all of the humour scenes are spontaneously written, a lot of the last minute additions are things I throw in towards the end of the chapter. Small tidbits, single poetic lines that I like that fit in well. I originally didn’t plan for Theo to have a role at the end. I didn’t plan for the ending to be as optimistic either. Keeping Remus alive was a spontaneous addition, I had already drafted him as being dead but changed it right before posting. Ironically enough, Luna dying was a last minute addition that I wrote in a single moment in the edit section on the website for posting.

Did it just sit on your drive for awhile? If so how long?

No. I wrote the prologue, and I posted it likely within the day. At one point up until little over halfway in the story, I stayed constantly 20 chapters ahead of the posting date. Eventually, that stopped, and for almost the last third of the story I was writing and posting chapter by chapter basis. It never really sat for any point.

Did you ever lose interest in writing Antithesis? If so what brought you back?

Yes. I lost inspiration because I wasn’t able to talk or interact with anyone. I thought people lost interest, and I too lost inspiration. I started talking to my cat, and although she couldn’t understand it I felt better and I gained my passion back because I was able to think creatively and continue. My cat unfortunately passed away in February (2018), although I should have made her my co-author. Sometimes just talking about what you love is enough to bring it back.

Did you always have to be in one specific mood or mindset to write?

No, not necessarily. I get into incredibly focused mindset, so obsessively...directed, where I forget the passage of time and I forget what thought is. I don’t have active ideas or trails of intent, I simply type and it’s a surprise to everyone what comes out. I write from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, and in that little time I create a chapter. Then I forget about it or post it the next day, sometimes I wait a bit longer. I cannot stress how much this story was a pleasure for me, it was a moment to relax and create instead of dealing with academics or other work.

How were you able to balance your daily life with writing this near constantly?

Well, that’s a bit tricky to explain. I write in one sitting, I take a seat and have a coffee or a cat near me, and I type. My hands cramp or maybe my laptop dies because I forgot about battery charge, and that’s that. I do what life demands of me, and when I need to breathe I write. Maybe sometime I’ll have a book on the shelf, and it’ll be your relaxing break just like writing was mine.

Why did you decide to write Antithesis in such a depressing way?

There’s a unique flair to writing depressing things. It’s an untouched area of writing- sure there are sad books or movies, but nobody ever writes the taboo. Nobody writes about how much you want to scream. Nobody writes about the days you’re too tired to breathe. Maybe I pushed too far or the story was too depressing for others, but that’s okay. Someone maybe loved it just enough, that it made their day better.

How much of Antithesis is taken from Shadowed Malice?

About all of the school years. It deviated around the fourth book, and never focused much on Luna. Adalonda wasn’t...herself. Adrian never went mad in that book. It was like a child’s crayon drawing of this, although I suppose I did make it when I was 12. I’m more proud of Antithesis than any other story.

Why did you change so much of the certain plots, or what made you turn from certain plot points and make the new ones?

I went for realism. I made Adrian weak because we all are. I made him fragile because we all are. I made him volatile and cruel and anxious and depressed and I made him feel far too much, because we do too. I wanted realism, the ideas of Shadowed Malice were too OC focused and impractical. They were foreign and focused on the wrong parts when I wanted something that hurt us on a visceral level.

Mermaid scaly creature in the fountain that had a bigger part in Shadowed Malice; why was it made so much smaller and less relevant?

It seemed out of place to create an entirely new creature that had strange powers. Even the Shades from Shadowed Malice felt wrong, I didn’t want to create an entire new culture and species from nothing. That’s why I had the Thestrals- they represent the new culture and mindset and personality of everything the shades were.

Why did you turn Luna into a thestral instead of just dead?

Because in real life, our mistakes don’t go away until we accept them emotionally and do something about them.

Why did you focus so much on magical creatures?

My personality and interest shining through. I have animals of my own, a dog, a tortoise, a lizard who passed in the writing of this fic, a snake I housed due to this story, two cats I adopted for the long nights, and my one cat who passed in February (2018) who should have been listed as my co-author. She likely wrote a paragraph of this story from the instances she prowled across my keyboard.

Why did you give so much time to develop side characters (Theo, Daphne, Ron and Hermione?)

I hate bashing. I hate the idea of writing bashing because everyone has a personality and a mindset that is unique to them, and is formed by their life and experiences. Maybe you don’t like a character, that is completely fine. You shouldn’t like Adrian, most people don’t like Skylar. I wanted to give you an option, a choice and a decision where you formed your own opinion based on the actions I wrote. You never know the experiences of others.

Are you going to write more?

Of course, but this story has said all the messages I have left to write. A different pasture now. Let the dead stay peaceful.

Are you happy this is over?

Do you believe the 5 stages of grief for the past chapter titles were written for the characters? They were written, for you and I.

What are the main messages you wanted people to hear when reading Antithesis?

This is a tricky question to answer.

People have asked me throughout the story repeatedly, “what exactly is wrong with Adrian?” We as people relate to things we recognize. We find comfort in familiarity, we like the people we view ourselves in. That’s why I never specifically answered it. I never explicitly said what Adrian’s relationship is with Luna, I never explicitly said what Adrian’s disorders are. If you write a character who is in a firm relationship, you exclude the few readers who do not identify with that orientation. If you give an explicit diagnoses, you ostracized those who judge themselves against that. Adrian has a disorder, sure, he has what you need. Some days there is no sunshine and no hope or point: some days Adrian feels the same. Some days everything is too fast and all your worries and pressure builds until it explodes: sometimes Adrian feels the same. Someday, maybe Adrian wishes he were dead; maybe someone out there needed to read something similar to know they’re not alone. I want this story to be the opportunity you don’t have, I want Adrian screaming at James and Lily to be the words you could never say to abusers. I want Adrian’s laughter and acceptance to be your catharsis.

I want you to identify with Adrian, because here at the end, he found peace. (It’s time you find it too.)

Send me any other questions and I’ll add them if applicable.

Since considering all the circumstances may seem to be a daunting task, it is very helpful to consider the following to help judge whether or not an action is considered good or evil

the action itself (independently of circumstances). It is the action itself which distinguishes one action from another (given that these actions are superficially similar to one another)

the intention of the agent (the most important circumstance) can

Okay so usually I love using crayons because it’s very very easy to control the gradient (better than pencils) as most of my colouring lies in shading, but for really narrow areas I prefer pencils and the only colouring I do with markers is the one that is absolutely necessary (for brightness)

30. do you always remember your dreams?

No, Some dreams I’ll forget right after waking up even if it was a really good one :(

How to Create MakeQuiz and TakeQuiz for App Inventor 2 2020

MakeQuiz and TakeQuiz

What you’re building

MakeQuiz and TakeQuiz are two apps that, in tandem, allow a teacher to create quizzes for a student. Parents can create fun trivia apps for their children during a long road trip, grade school teachers can build “Math Blaster” quizzes, and college students can build quizzes to help their study groups prepare for a final. This tutorial will walk you through creating both the MakeQuiz and the TakeQuiz app.

Getting started

Connect to the App Inventor web site and start a new project. Name it “MakeQuiz”, and also set the screen’s Title to “MakeQuiz”. Open the Blocks Editor and connect to the phone.

Introduction

You’ll design two apps, MakeQuiz for the “teacher” and TakeQuiz for the “student”. With MakeQuiz:

The user enters questions and answers in an input form.

The previously entered question-answer pairs are displayed.

The quiz is stored persistently, in a database.

TakeQuiz will work similarly to the QuizMe app– in fact you’ll build it using QuizMe as a basis. TakeQuiz will differ in that the questions asked will be those that were entered into the database using MakeQuiz.

This tutorial introduces the following App Inventor concepts:

Input forms for allowing the user to enter information.

Displaying lists: serializing a list variable to display it on separate lines.

Persistent data: MakeQuiz will save the quiz questions and answers in a database and TakeQuiz will load them in from the database.

Data Sharing: the two apps together illustrate how two phones (and even two apps) can communicate through a shared, web database:

Set up the Components for MakeQuiz

Use the Component Designer to create the interface for MakeQuiz. When you finish, it should look something like the snapshot below:

You’ll use the following components to create MakeQuiz. Drag each component from the Palette into the Viewer and name it as specified below:

Component TypePalette GroupWhat you’ll name itPurpose of ComponentHorizontalArrangementLayoutHorizontalArrangement1Display the question prompt and textbox on one lineLabelUser InterfaceLabel1The “Question:” promptTextBoxUser InterfaceQuestionTextUser enters questions hereHorizontalArrangementLayoutHorizontalArrangement2Display the answer prompt and textbox on one lineLabelUser InterfaceLabel2The “Answer:” promptTextBoxUser InterfaceAnswerTextUser enters answers hereButtonUser InterfaceSubmitButtonUser clicks to submit a QA pair.LabelUser InterfaceQuestionsAnswersLabelThis will display previously entered QAsTinyWebDBStorageTinyWebDB1To store to and retrieve from database

Set the properties of the components in the following way:

Set the Text of Label1 to “Question:” and the Text of Label2 to “Answer:”.

Set the Hint of QuestionText to “Enter a Question” and the Hint of AnswerText to “Enter an Answer”.

Set the Text of SubmitButton to “Submit”

Set the Text of QuestionsAnswersLabel to “Questions and Answers”.

Put Label1 and QuestionText in HorizontalArrangement1, and Label2 and AnswerText in HorizontalArrangement2.

Add behaviors to the components

Open the Blocks Editor to add the behaviors for the app. As with the original QuizMe app, you’ll first define some global variables for the QuestionList and AnswerList, but this time you won’t provide fixed questions and answers. You’ll need the following blocks:

Block typeDrawerPurposeinitialize global (name) to (“QuestionList”)VariablesDefines the QuestionList variable (rename it)initialize global (name) to (“AnswerList”)VariablesDefines the AnswerList variable (rename it)create empty listListsTo set up the QuestionList for new itemscreate empty listListsTo set up the AnswerList for new items

The blocks should look like this:

Note that, unlike the original QuizMe app, the lists are empty to begin with. This is because with MakeQuiz and TakeQuiz, all data is created by the user of the app (it is user-generated).

Handle the User’s entries

The first behavior you’ll build is for handling the user’s input. Specifically, when the user enters a question and answer and clicks submit, you’ll use add item to list blocks to update the QuestionList and AnswerList.

You’ll need the following blocks:

Block typeDrawerPurposeSubmitButton.ClickSubmitButtonThis event is triggered when the user clicks this button.add items to list (x2)ListsUse these to add the data entered by the user to the listsget global QuestionListVariablesPlug it into the list slot of the first add items to listQuestionText.TextQuestionTextUser’s entry; plug it into the item slot of the first add items to listget global AnswerListVariablesPlug it into the list slot of the second add items to listAnswerText.TextAnswerTextUser’s entry; plug it into item slot of second add items to list

The blocks should look like this:

How the blocks work

The block add items to list appends each item to the end of a list. Here, the app takes the text the user has entered in the QuestionText and AnswerText text boxes and appends each to the corresponding list.

The behavior updates the hidden QuestionList and AnswerList variables, but the changes are not shown to the user. To display these lists, create a procedure “displayQAs” which makes a text object with both lists and places it into the QuestionsAnswersLabel. Then make sure to call the procedure at the bottom of SubmitButton.Click. You’ll need the following blocks:

Block typeDrawerPurpose/Actionto (procedure) do “displayQAs”ProceduresPut the code to display questions and answers hereset QuestionsAnswersLabel.Text toQuestionsAnswersLabelDisplay the lists in this label.joinTextMakes a text object by joining the two lists and a colon separatorget global QuestionListVariablesPlug into join” ” (“:”)TextPlug into joinget global AnswerListVariablesUse the mutator to add a third spot to the join block. Plug this block into the newly created space.call displayQAsProceduresPlace in the bottom of the SubmitButton.Click event-handler

The blocks should look like this:

How the blocks work

The displayQAs procedure is called after the lists are modified in SubmitButton.Click. The QuestionsAnswersLabel is modified to display the two lists separated by a colon. By default, App Inventor displays lists with surrounding parenthesis and spaces between items:

(item1 item2 item3)

Of course, this is not the ideal way to display the lists, but it will allow you to test your behavior for now. Later, you’ll modify the displayQAs procedure to display a list on separate lines, and to display each question together with its corresponding answer.

Test this behavior. On the phone, enter a question and answer and click Submit. The app should display the single entry in the QuestionList, a colon, and then the single entry in the AnswerList. Add a second question and answer to make sure the lists are being created correctly.

Blanking Out the Question and Answer

When a user submits a question-answer pair, you should clear the QuestionText and AnswerText text boxes so they’re ready for a new entry.

You’ll need the following blocks:

Block typeDrawerPurposeset QuestionText.Text toQuestionTextTo blank out questionset AnswerText.Text toAnswerTextTo blank out answer” ” (x2)TextBlank text

Here’s how the blocks for the updated event handler should look:

How the blocks work

When the user submits a new question and answer, they are added to their respective lists. At that point, the text in the QuestionText and AnswerText is “blanked out” with empty text blocks (you create an empty text block by clicking on the the block’s text and pressing the delete button).

Test the behavior. Add some questions and answers. When you submit them, the QuestionText and AnswerText should show only their hint (when a TextBox's Text property is empty it shows the hint until the user clicks it).

Storing the questions and answers in a database

As is, the app records the questions and answers entered by the user, but only in the phone’s temporary memory. All variables in App Inventor are transient data– they are stored on the phone and the data only “lives” through one run of an app. When the user closes the app, the data is lost.

The MakeQuiz app needs to record the questions and answers in a database. This will allow the quiz creator (teacher) to always edit the latest update of the quiz. It will also allow the TakeQuiz app to load the quiz and administer it to the student.

You’ll use the TinyWebDB component to store and retrieve the QuestionList and AnswerList to and from a database. TinyWebDB allows you to store data in AppInventor-compliant databases that live on the web instead of on the phone.

The general scheme for storing a list persistently is the following: each time a new item is added to the list, use TinyWebDB to update the database version of the list. Then each time the app is opened (Screen1.Initialize event), reload the database version of the list into the variable.

Start by storing the QuestionList and AnswerList in the database each time the user enters a new pair. You’ll need the following blocks:

Block typeDrawerPurposeTinyWebDB1.StoreValueTinyWebDB1For storing questions in the database” ” (“Questions”)TextPlug in “Questions” as the tag of TinyWebDB1.StoreValueget global QuestionListVariablesPlug into the value slot of TinyWebDB1.StoreValueTinyWebDB1.StoreValueTinyWebDB1For storing answers in the database” ” (“Answers”)TextPlug in “Answers” as the tag of TinyWebDB1.StoreValueget global AnswerListVariablesPlug into the value slot of TinyWebDB1.StoreValue

The blocks should look like this:

How the blocks work

The last two rows of blocks store data in the database. The tag arguments label the data being stored so that you can retrieve it later. The QuestionList is stored with a tag of “Questions” while the AnswerList is stored with a tag of “Answers”.

Although our example uses “Questions” as the tag, you should actually use your own tag, e.g., “DavesQuestions”, because by default, the database entries of all App Inventor programs share the same namespace and so your list of questions may get confused with someone else’s list of questions since you both used the same tag.

Test this behavior. TinyWebDB stores information on the web, so you can open a browser page to test whether this behavior is working. Use the "/getvalue" function on that page to verify that the data you stored is matched with the tag as desired. Note, however, that there will be many entries, and your entry may overwrite someone else's tag, as the default service is for testing and is used by many programmers. Because the default service is shared amongst programmers and apps, it is only for testing. Fortunately, setting up your own database service is relatively straight forward.

Loading Data from the Database

Once the blocks for storing the lists are working, you can add the blocks for loading the lists back in each time the app begins.

Loading data from a TinyWebDB database is a two-step process. First, you request the data by calling TinyWebDB.GetValue and providing a tag.

call TinyWebDB.GetValue only requests the data from the web service. After the request is made, your app can do other things, such as responding to user actions, while it waits for the TinyWebDB web service to send the data. When the data arrives, a call TinyWebDB.GotValue event is triggered. When that event occurs, the data requested is in a variable named “valueFromWebDB”. The tag you requested is in the variable “tagFromWebDB”. You can access these variables in the when TinyWebDB.GotValue event handler.

In this case, the app needs to request two things from the TinyWebDB web service, the questions and the answers, so the when Screen1.Initialize will make two calls to getValue. When the data arrives and the GotValue event-handler is triggered, the app should check the tag to see which request has arrived, and then load the corresponding list. Once the lists are both loaded, displayQAs can be called to display them.

You’ll need the following blocks:

Block typeDrawerPurposewhen Screen1.InitializeScreen1Event handler triggered when app beginscall TinyWebDB.GetValue (x2)TinyWebDBTo request the stored QuestionList and AnswerList” ” (“Questions”)TextUse as the tag to retrieve QuestionList” ” (“Answers”)TextUse as the tag to retrieve AnswerListwhen TinyWebDB.GotValueTinyWebDB1Event handler triggered when data arrivesif elseControlNeed to ask which GetValue request arrived=MathCompare tagFromWebDB to “Questions”” ” (“Questions”)TextThis is the tag that was used to store QuestionListvalue TagFromWebDBMy DefinitionsAn argument of GotValue, specifies which requestset QuestionList toMy DefinitionsIf TagFromWebDB is “questions” this list will be setset AnswerList toMy DefinitionsIf TagFromWebDB is not “questions” this list will be setvalue ValueFromWebDB (2)My DefinitionsThis holds the value returned from databaseifControlCheck if both the lists are loaded before displaying= blockMathCompare the lengths of the listslength of list (2)ListsCheck if the length of the lists are the sameglobal QuestionListMy DefinitionsPlug into one of the length of list blocksglobal AnswerListMy DefinitionsPlug into the other length of list blockscall displayQAsMy DefinitionsDisplay the newly loaded questions and answers

The blocks should look like:

How the blocks work

When the app begins, the Screen1.Initialize event is triggered. The app calls TinyWebDB1.GetValue twice, once to request the stored QuestionList and once to request the stored AnswerList. After requesting the data, the app can handle other events while it waits for the web database to answer the request.

When the data arrives from the web database, the TinyWebDB1.GotValue event is triggered. Since two requests were made, it will be triggered twice, once for each list.

In the GotValue event-handler, the value returned is in the variable valueFromWebDB . The corresponding tag is in tagFromWebDB . The blocks first check to see which request has returned (even though the request for “questions” is made first in Screen1.Initialize, there is no guarantee that the QuestionList will arrive first). If the tag is “questions”, the valueFromWebDB is put into the variable QuestionList. Otherwise (else) it is placed in the AnswerList.

At the bottom of GotValue, the app checks to see if both lists have been loaded– one way to check is to see if the lengths of the lists are the same. If they are, displayQAs is called to display them on the phone.

Test this behavior. Select Restart Phone in the Blocks Editor. When the app initializes, it should display the previously entered questions and answers. If you close the app and restart again, the previous quiz should still appear.

The version of MakeQuiz you’ve created so far works: the user can create a quiz and it will be stored persistently in the database. If you can accept the fact that the quiz is displayed in an inelegant way, you can proceed to creating the sister app, TakeQuiz, which lets a user step through the quiz and answer the questions.

If you’d like to learn how to display list data in a more elegant fashion, step through the steps directly below.

Displaying a List on Multiple Lines

In the app you’ve built so far, the question and answer lists are displayed separately and with the default list display format, e.g.,

(question1 question2 question3): (answer1 answer2 answer3)

In this section, you’ll modify the app so that the newly entered question-answer pairs are displayed in tandem, one on each line:

question1:answer1 question2:answer2 question3:answer3

Displaying the data in this way is non-trivial, so you’ll start by first displaying a single list, the QuestionList, with each item on a separate line.

To display a list on separate lines, you must serialize it . This means to build a single text object with all the items of the list in it and a special character, '\n', between each item. A "\n" within a text object appears as a newline character when displayed. For example, suppose the user has entered two questions, "What is the capital of California?" and "What is the capital of New York?" and these have succesfully been added to the QuestionList . Your displayQAs procedure should build a text object from QuestionList that looks like: "\nWhat is the capital of California\nWhat is the capital of New York?" When displayed on the phone, such text would appear as: What is the capital of California? What is the capital of New York?

All the changes will occur in the procedure displayQAs. You’ll remove the blocks within that procedure, and use a foreach block to build the text by successively adding each question. The blocks within the foreach should add the current item (question) to the end of the text object (QuestionsAnswersLabel) you are building. You’ll need the following blocks:

Block typeDrawerPurposeset QuestionsAnswersLabel.Text toQuestionsAnswersLabelInitialize the label to empty before repeatedly adding to ittext (blank)Textplug into set QuestionsAnswersLabel.Text toforeachControlFor each item in list, you’ll concatenate it to the QuestionsAnswersLabelname varalready in foreachThe current item of foreach; rename it to “question”global QuestionListMy DefinitionsPlug this into “in list” slot of foreachset QuestionsAnswersLabel.Text toQuestionsAnswersLabelIteratively build the textmake textTextbuild a text objectQuestionsAnswersLabel.TextQuestionsAnswersLabelPlug into make textvalue questionMy DefinitionsPlug into make text (make sure you’ve renamed foreach variable to “question”)text (“/n”)TextNew-line character so following text on another line

The blocks should look like this:

How the blocks work

When the procedure is called, the QuestionsAnswersLabel.Text is first set to the empty text. This is in preparation for the foreach block that comes next, which will build the text in QuestionsAnswersLabel.Text incrementally.

The foreach block specifies that the blocks within it are to be executed once for every item in QuestionList. If there are three questions, then the inner blocks will be executed three times. Within the foreach, the current item being processed is named question.

On each iteration, QuestionsAnswersLabel.Text is modified. Each time it is set to its previous value, along with the newline character, “\n” and the current question being processed.

When the foreach completes, QuestionsAnswersLabel.Text will be text string with all the items separated by newline characters. As the app is processing each iteration of the foreach , the phone display doesn’t change. But when it completes, the text in QuestionsAnswersLabel.Text is displayed on the phone and the items appear on separate lines.

Test the behavior. On the phone, add another question and answer and click Submit. Now, only the questions should be displayed and they should be displayed on separate lines.

Including the answer in DisplayQAs

The displayQAs procedure you’ve created ignores answers and only displays questions. In the next version of displayQAs , you’ll display the data as question-answer pairs, e.g.,

What is the capital of California?: Sacramento What is the capital of New York?: Albany

Modify displayQAs. Use an index variable to access each answer as the foreach block walks through the questions. You’ll need the following blocks:

Block typeDrawerPurposedef var (“answer”)DefinitionsTo temporarily store each answerdef var (“answerIndex”)DefinitionsTo keep track of which answer (and question) you’re ontext (“text”)TextInitialize the variable answer to text.number (1)MathInitialize the variable answerIndex to 1set answerIndex toMy DefinitionsRe-initialize answerIndex each time displayQAs callednumber (1)MathTo re-initialize answerIndex to 1set answer toMy Definitionsset this variable each time in the foreachselect list itemListsselect from the list AnswerListglobal AnswerListMy Definitionsplug into list slot of select list itemglobal answerIndexMy DefinitionsPlug into index slot of select list itemset answerIndex toMy DefinitionsIn order to increment it each iteration through loopglobal answerIndexMy DefinitionsTo increment answerIndex , add 1 to itself.number (1)MathTo increment answerIndex

The blocks should look like this:

How the blocks work

The foreach only allows you to iterate through one list. In this case, there are two lists and you need to step through and select each answer as you proceed through the questions. The strategy is to use an index variable, as was done with the currentQuestionIndex in the QuizMe tutorial.

For this behavior, the index is a position in the AnswerList, so its named answerIndex. The index is set to 1 before the foreach begins. Within the foreach, it is used to select the current answer from the AnswerList, and then it is incremented.

Test this behavior. On the phone, add some more question/answer pairs. The display should now show each question with its corresponding answer, and each question:answer pair on separate lines.

Final MakeQuiz App

Begin by opening your QuizMe app, choosing SaveAs, and naming the new project “TakeQuiz.” This will leave your QuizMe app as is and allow you to use a copy of it as the basis for TakeQuiz.

This version of MakeQuiz/TakeQuiz does not handle images, so first remove the images from the TakeQuiz app:

In the Component Designer, choose each image from the media palette and delete it. Also delete the Image1 component, which will remove all references to it from the Blocks Editor.

In the Blocks Editor, drag the PictureList to the trash.

Since TakeQuiz will work with database data, drag a TinyWebDB component into the Component Designer viewer.

Now modify the blocks so that the quiz given to the user is the one from the database. First, since there are no fixed questions and answers, remove all of the actual question and answer text blocks from the make a list blocks within the QuestionList and AnswerList. The blocks should look like this:

Now modify your Screen1.Initialize so that it calls TinyWebDB.GetValue twice to load the lists. The blocks should look like this:

Finally, drag out a TinyWebDB.GotValue event-handler. This event-handler should look similar to the one used in MakeQuiz, but here you only want to show the first question and none of the answers. The blocks should look like this:

How the Blocks Work

When the app begins, Screen1.Initialize is triggered and the app requests the questions and the answers from the web database. When each of those requests arrives, the TinyWebDB.GotValue event-handler is triggered. The app asks which request has come in, using tagFromWebDB , and places the valueFromWebDB into the appropriate list. If it is the QuestionList being loaded, the first question is selected from QuestionList and displayed.

Test the behavior. Click Restart Phone App. Does the first question from the quiz you created with MakeQuiz appear? Can you take the quiz just as you did with QuizMe (except for the pictures)?
