Main Class:

This applet may be freely copied and used by others.

I) In order to run the applet properly, you need to Download the java classes above and follow the steps :

1. open your terminal (or cmd).
2. go to the path of your classes' file. (cd \path "on windows").
3. compile your java files (use the command " javac *.java ").
4. run you java program (main class wich is Quiz.java).
5. done

II) Now in order to add or change the question of the quiz follow :

go to the main class (Quiz.java) there is an array of objects called "qObj" represented :

       quiz2 [] qObj = {

        new quiz2("Question 1","op1","op2","op3","op4","op1","hint 1"),
        
        new quiz2("Question 2","op1","op2","op3","op4","op4","hint 2"),
        
        new quiz2("Question 3","op1","op2","op3","op4","op3","hint 3"),
        
        new quiz2("Question 4","op1","op2","op3","op4","op2","hint 4")
        
        };

• Put your questions on "Question 1,2.." attribute.
• p1 , p2 , p3 , p4 are the choices.
• the 6th attribute is the correct answer (so put the correct answer of the question there).
• hint 1 , hint 2 ... are the hints of the correct answers.

If you wanna add other question all you have to do is : creating a new object from the class quiz2 and add it to the array "qObj":

        new quiz2("Your question","option 1","option 2","option 3","option 4","correct answer","Hint"); 

III) The timing : if you want to give the player more time to answer the questions there is a int variable called time in the main class:

        int time = 60 // time by seconds

you can change it to whatever you want.
