 ABSTRACT

The concept of quiz is currently very popular among educated circles as well as in
entertainment shows. Though the quiz can be conducted manually, it often needs elaborate
preparations. Quiz contributes to the growth of knowledge of an individual and they are a
popular source of entertainment.

This quiz game focuses on creating interactive quiz possibly with a question on
various topics. This quiz game is designed to increase learning of players by playing multiple
choice questions which are interactive, user friendly and fun to play.

 1. INTRODUCTION

Earlier Quiz Game was conducted manually in which there used to be a Quiz Master
asking questions with a book which was neither flexible nor friendly. So an automated Quiz
Game is designed to play quiz game in a more interactive and fun way which is flexible and
more reliable

1.1 BACKGROUND

C is a general-purpose high-level language that was originally developed by

Dennis Ritchie for the Unix operating system. C is highly portable and is used for scripting
system applications which form a major part of windows, UNIX and Linux operating system.C
language can efficiently work on enterprise applications, games, graphics and applications
requiring calculations etc.

The whole project is designed in ‘C’ language and different variables and
strings have been used for the development of this project. It is easy to operate and understand
by users. There is no any error and warning contents in the project. The design is so simple that
users won’t find it difficult to use and navigate.

1.2 OBJECTIVE

The main objective of “Quiz Game” is to facilitate a user-friendly environment for

all users and reduce manual effort. In past days quiz is conducted manually but in further
resolution of the technology we are able to generate the score and pose the queries
automatically. The functional requirements include to create users that are going to participate
in the quiz, automatic score and report their ranking in the quiz. In this application, all the
permissions lie with the administrator i.e., specifying the details of the quiz with checking
results will show to interviewee, addition of question and answers, marks for each question and
generating the score for each quiz.

1.3 PROBLEM STATEMENT

Quiz game is an application developed to conduct a MCQ based quiz

which helps in the enhancement of the knowledge of the user. To start the Quiz, first user has

Page | 1
to give the input to start the quiz in the main menu and then they have to register by entering
the user name. Then the rules and regulations for playing the quiz will be displayed. Quiz is
started by displaying one question after the other with the four options. If the answer is correct,
the score gets incremented by +5 points and if wrong, no points will be reduced. Instead
displays the correct answer. Once all the questions are answered, final score will be displayed
on the screen. User can also check the highest score and even their ranking too .

 3. DESIGN

3.1 SYSTEM DESIGN

Earlier Quiz games were conducted manually, which was neither flexible nor friendly.
So, an automated quiz game is designed to play quiz in a more interactive, flexible, reliable
and less time-consuming way.

3.1.1 PROPOSED SYSTEM

1. The proposed system is designed in such a way that it will be less time consuming and
more efficient.

2. The proposed system is highly error and mistake proof as no information has to be
entered manually.

3. Database of the player is stored in a record file.

4. The proposed system is designed with the below respective modules i.e.,

> Registration >Start quiz > Score

> Help > Exit

Fig: 3.1 Block diagram for the Quiz Game

Page | 4
3.2 MODULE DESIGN

3.2.1 REGISTRATION

The user first has to register the name before the user starts to play the quiz
game.

3.2.2 START QUIZ

As soon as the user chooses the quiz game menu strip the questions with 4
choices will be displayed and the user needs to select any one of the choices. Then the question
would be evaluated, if the answer is right the points get incremented by 5 and if it is wrong
then the right answer would be displayed and no points would be reduced. In such a manner
the next series of questions would be displayed till the end of the questions. Finally, the user’s
points will be displayed.

3.2.3 SCORE

This displays the scores of all the users who have played this quiz. In this

module the user can even see his ranking.

3.2.4 HELP

This displays the rules and regulations of the quiz game which has to be
followed by the user while playing the game.

3.2.5 EXIT

This strip displays two options for the user one to exit from the game and
one more to repeat the game.

Step 1 : Start

Step 2 : Register with name.

Step 3 : Main Menu will be displayed.

Step 4 : User input for the options in the Main Menu.

Step 5 : If user input is Help, the rules for the quiz game will be displayed.

Step 6 : If user input is score, the scores of all the users will be displayed.

Step 7 : If user input is exit, the game will end.

Step 8 : If user input is start, the quiz game will start by displaying questions.

Step 9 : User input for the answer for the question displayed.

Step 10: If the answer is correct,the score gets incremented by 5 points.

Step 11: If the answer is wrong, the correct answer would be displayed and score
remains unchanged.

Step 12: Next series of questions will be displayed.

Step 13: Once all the questions are answered, the score of the user will be displayed.

ADVANTAGES
 The game designed is user friendly and interactive.

 Simple and easy to play.

 Automated score is calculated and displayed.

 The designed game is highly error and mistake proof as no information has to be entered
manually.

 The proposed system is less time consuming and more efficient.

DISADVANTAGES
 No time limit for answering each question.

 Questions remain the same for all the users.

 Users can play the quiz any number of times.

 6. CONCLUSION

The software ‘QUIZ’ created is intended to minimize the time required to administer a quiz ,
to measure the points, to shortlist the participant name , and thereby to improve the performance
. It is planned to replace current manual documentation and correction. The introduction of the
method in the enterprise would dramatically minimize time and will also have easily measured
markers.
