CUSTOM
QUESTIONS (NEW FROM 1.2.4)
From
version 1.2.4 you can customize yourself the questions in the game.
Simply go in the data subfolder in the game installation directory
and edit the files eng.ini
(english language questions), ita.ini
(italian language questions) and spanish.ini
(spanish language questions).
Mac
users: to access those files you need to look inside the Quizland
bundle. Rightclick or control-click on the Quizland application
icon and then choose "show package contents" and in Contents->Resources
you'll find the data subdirectory.
The
first value counts the questions and the puzzle questions present
in the file:
[GENERAL]
MaxQuestions=1345
MaxPuzzles=107
So
remember that if you add 10 questions ant 5 puzzles, the values
will need to be updated to:
[GENERAL]
MaxQuestions=1355
MaxPuzzles=112
Otherwise
you could experience problems playing the game.
The
questions use the following format:
[1]
ID=E-St
Text=Who was "Polifemo"?
Answer1=Centaur
Answer2=Giant
Answer3=Cyclops
Answer4=Ork
Solution=3
Photo=0
The
first number in bracket is question number, don't change it. Then
ID field identifies the kind of question, the first letter stands
for E=EASY, M=MEDIUM, H=HARD then is specified the argument and
can be:
-Lett
(literature) -Sci (science) -St (history) -Sp (sport) -Geo (geography)
-Att (various)
The
Text is the question itself. The Answer1,Answer2 etc are the 4 possible
answers, and the Solution number points to the correct answer (from
1 to 4). The field Photo if has a value, loads the corrisponding
image in the folder "photos". So if you want you can even
add more photos to the game, for example you could add lincoln.jpg
to the photo directory and then write Photo=lincoln (don't add .jpg
or .png, the game will load the file automatically).
If
you use ID=Puzzle instead, it means that is a question to be played
like a puzzle (every 5 normal questions). You need to put a photo
to make a puzzle questions.
HOW
TO PLAY
Select "Start New Game" from the main menu, then select the number of players (in the demo you can play only single player games) and then choose your skill.
The "Skill" is your favorite subject or area of expertise. Whenever you correctly answer a question that falls into your selected skill, you'll receive double points for it. But be careful, if you answer incorrectly you lose 1000 points!
The game then starts and you'll see a question with four answers. You must click on the correct answer to go on. For every mistake you make, you will lose one life (you start with three lives). If you reach zero lives, the game is over.
The game is divided into three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium and Hard. After 15 questions you go on to the next level where the difficulty will increase. There's a "Jolly" button, though, to help you; Clicking on it will erase two wrong answers, leaving you with a 50% probability of picking the correct answer.
Finally, after every 5 questions there is a puzzle question. The puzzle questions involve identifying the subject associated with a picture.
The demo version lets you play only the easy questions. Get the full version to play all the 1500 questions!
