Quiz Master
A multiple-choice quiz with four categories, GO SUB subroutines, and a scored breakdown.
Eight questions from four categories. Press A, B, C or D — no ENTER needed. Right answers flash green with an ascending jingle. Wrong answers flash red and show the correct option. After all questions, a results screen breaks down your score by category.
What You’ll Learn
- AND — combining conditions for input validation
- INKEY$ — instant single-key input without ENTER
- GO SUB / RETURN — reusable subroutines for drawing and mapping
- DIM and arrays — tracking scores per category in numbered slots
- RESTORE — rewinding DATA for replay
- Categories — colour-coded subjects with visual identity
Prerequisites
Complete Game 5: Word Scramble first. You’ll need DATA/READ, string variables, and colour commands.
