Quizzacious

Quizzacious is an offline, multi screen scoreboard for quizzes.

Reason for developing

Working as a missionary at an NGO in Uganda we sometimes host quizzes. I was looking for an easy piece of software to project a nice scoreboard while managing it on from a laptop, but could not find anything. Online, multi-user scoreboards seem to be there but sometimes you just want something offline. So I thought, why not develop something myself? Since I already had plenty experience with html and css, I just had to revive my javascript knowledge and learn how to deal with electron.

State of the Code

What is Working

• Can dynamically create teams from main screen
• Main screen displays teams and displays points
• Points can be added, reduced and set from Main Screen Modals, points are updated instantly
• External Screen shows teams and points in a 2xN grid

What is not working

• Small gui-design flaws
• FontAwesome does not show nicely yet

What will work

• Reducing points from main screen done
• Setting points from main screen done
• Removing team from main screen
• External screen done, has basic functionality
• External screen dynamic layout depending on number of teams

Future dreams

• Multiple scoreboard layouts
• Saving and loading teams/points to file
• Binary packages for Linux, Windows and MacOS

Very distant future dreams

• Android remote control app
