The site will be a current affairs quiz targeting mostly male users aged 25-50.
There will be various categories of questions. Questions will have different level of points (1-10) which will be determined by the question’s difficulty.
User will submit questions with 5 possible answers including the correct one, plus a few details about the answer referring to any credible sources to qualify it. They will also suggest categories that the question should be entered into and the number of points that question is worth (relative to its difficulty).
The questions will be multiple choice (5 answer options) with radio buttons for users to select the answer.
Each question will have a time limit for the user to choose an answer (should be a variable to be set in admin).
Admin will edit and approve question submitted by users before they are activated.
User will be able to choose to answer questions from a specific category or from the general pool of questions.
New users should be able to answer X questions before being required to register. When registering, the scores they got should be retained for their new account. ( I guess this is just a sessions issue). Basic profile fields for user registration. Email confirmation needed for registrations. Thereafter users should login before answering questions if they want their scores to be maintained.
The site will have leader’s boards for each category that will show the top users usernames’ and scores.
Users should also be able to set up teams. This will be done by a user setting up a team name (1 per user) and then inviting other users to join that team. Users should be able to join multiple teams. There will be a team’s leader board but only one, not for each category. Team score will be totals of each members scores and %’s for the whole team.
Graphics will be dealt with separately so this site should be set up with basic css layout.
