Happy Quizzing!

The finer details:

  1. The folders which are siblings to quiz.jar are considered as Categories. They are presented as tabs in the Quiz app.
  2. The files inside those folders are considered as Quiz images. They are presented as images in the Quiz app.
  3. The user can select any Category tab. There is only forward navigation to go to the next Quiz image.
  4. Each time when the Show button is clicked, the image is shown for a few seconds and then hidden automatically.
  5. You can choose to click the Show button more times to reveal the image repeatedly.
  6. Once the player has finished guessing or given up, click on Show Answer to reveal the answer.
  7. Note that the Quiz image file name (upto the first . symbol in the file name) is considered as the answer for each Quiz image.
  8. The user (host) can click on the appropriate +10 or +5 button for the current team based on whether they answered during their turn, or a passed question.
  9. Run through several rounds of the game for some exciting picture quiz fun!
  10. At the end of the game, the scores are visible for everyon to see.
  11. May the best team win!!
