It’s day two (ish) and I’ve already made the form and functions which enable you, the noble user, to make the test ‘container’ which goes on to hold all the questions, etc.
But wait! There’s a reason it’s taken me so long to do! Let’s take a look at some pretty screenshots!
Follow the bloody rules!
Didn’t enter a test title? Well a test’s gotta have a title! With some normal JavaScript, you’ll get a little red warning fade in and tell you about your error.
Filling it out’s a dream
Well, if you have a Mac. That’s because it uses that nice font Macs come with and lovely big input fields. Otherwise, you’ll be treated to Arial… which is just as tasty I suppose.
You might notice you can only make surveys at the moment… well that’s because surveys are more exciting, easier for me and you to do, and I might want to charge people (teachers) for testing their students using my softwares… and that would be a separate little doo-dad.
And finally… AJAXXXXX!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!1111!!!
It works like magic, and makes the test in an absolute jiffy. A flash of yellow (which, of course, fades away) and you’ll have a lovely little box with all the information you’ve entered, ready for you to use it to make some questions. Brilliant!
The design
I must say it is all subject to change. While I’m trying to make it look as nice as possible as I go, I can’t fully focus on the design. It’s something I intend to come back to later, really.
Coming next
Well, the next part is the bit where you make the questions.
This is going to be pretty tricky, because you need more than one question and more then one answer option for each question.
Sounds to me like it’s going to be a bit of a handful to do, especially with AJAXification, but it certainly is possible.
Now I’m going off to plan exactly how this is going to happen. A spot of dinner wouldn’t go amiss, either.
