Quiz Script
I was moonlighting a little over at Coding Forums and ran across a thread where someone wanted a script for a quiz. Actually it was two different threads and two different script quiz ideas. I really got into the second one and would like folks to have a look. It is an array driven script that writes out the quiz for you and will score the answers. It has optional peeking at answers, optional do overs and accommodates any number of questions, each with any number of possible answers. I'm kind of hoping it can get featured here on DD so I can change my signature but, not to worry, I have a number of other efforts in the works. Here is a link to it:
