I want to create a Multi-choice quiz....

py2006

but I haven't a clue!!

I want to create something like those Driver Theory Tests you can get on CD. So obviously there will be no database involved.

I want something that keeps a record of score and gives the user the opportunity to view the questions they got wrong etc.

Any ideas?

Swing, or if you're old school AWT; in Java.
Or, if as you say, you haven't a clue - then use VB

Or a browser and javascript if all else fails

I dont know anything about programming so I would be starting from the ground up

It is probably easiest to do in Visual Basic.
But if you're learning a programming language for the first time then I'd say go with Java.
Here's a beginners intro to Java

Everything is free and online:
- development kit + runtime environment
- Integrated development environement (Netbeans , or JBuilder Foundation)
- tutorials etc. etc.

Do you want to learn how to programme or do you just want to create a quiz? If you just want to create a quiz quickly and easily, just stick with javascript. You can use the source code from the thousands of online quizzes that are already on the interweb as a starting point.

If you manage to get your hands on Flash MX Professional, their manuals also have a guide on how to do just that. You can get a demo of that from http://www.macromedia.com/ - it's rather cool... although you have to pay for it.

Take care,
P.B.

If u havent programmed before visual basic is ur best bet don't quote me on this but microsoft were giving a trail or something a while back i thiink.

I think another post made a good point is it just for the quiz or is it as an introduction to programming ??

i had a project in vb recently and found it very easy to pick and had a simple poll which required virtually no programming knowleage just one good example.

Thanks guys,

Well I am not really interested in learning to programme properly. I just want to create an identical multi-choice quiz to those Driver Theory Test CD's.

Obviously this will involve having to learn some amount of programming but I dont wanna become no expert!
