Wasn't *quite* sure what to call this.
I guess you've all seen the FB quizzes where you click on an option, a multi choice questionnaire.
Basically I'm looking for a freeware program that will let me make my own. It needs to also pick some of the answers at random, as well as the correct one, so it's never the same, if you get me :/
This is to help me out on my Taekwon-Do theory, which REALLY needs help!! I'm pretty useless and just reading the book over and over again isn't going to help me. Just wondered if there is such a program out there?
Cheers people!

I could make a java app that would do this for you.
It would be VERY basic but it would do everything you need and you'd be able to add your own questions/answers.

Well I could write it in C but I prefer Java. I could also write it in Progress or attach it to an SQL database but overkill comes to mind

In fact, I could make an iPhone app for it! Do you want an iPhone app?!?

There appear to be some ready made ones available. ClickyThe first one is on-line. I have no idea if it's relevant to you though! http://www.hamiltontkd.co.nz/blog/quiz/

Thanks for that  Well, the bottom link!! And Fogmeister, that would be cool, I reckon if I put the correct answers in myself, greater chance of them staying in my head!! Oh, and I'll pass on the iPhone app  Don't have one

I used to use my 1980s PC to help me learn my French and German vocab. I put all the options in a big DATA statement, which I read in a loop which kept going until I got every answer right. It really does work - although, writing yourself makes it more interesting. I used BASIC with a lot of "IF A$=B$ THEN", but if you're into website design, then a bit of PHP could do the job. If I was to knock something up right now, it would probably be in vb.net and read the data from a csv file, but that's just because it's what I seem to do these days.
Good luck!
