Final Course Project: Interactive Quiz Application
🚀 Project Overview
In this final project, you will build a fully interactive Quiz App. You will use JavaScript to manage the questions, handle user scoring, manipulate the DOM to show/hide sections, and use Asynchronous logic to fetch high scores from a simulated server.
Problem Statement
Educational platforms need engaging ways to test student knowledge. You must create an app where users can answer multiple-choice questions, see their final score, and see how they rank against others.
Project Objectives
- Store quiz data in an **Array of Objects**.
- Dynamically render questions using **DOM Manipulation**.
- Implement a timer using
setInterval. - Use **Local Storage** to save the user's best score.
Core Features
- Dynamic Loading: Questions are injected into the page one by one.
- Score Engine: Real-time calculation of correct answers.
- Countdown Timer: Users have 60 seconds to finish the quiz.
- Result Dashboard: Display final score and a "Retake" button.
- High Scores: Save and display the top 5 scores from local storage.
Development Steps
- Create the base HTML structure (Container, Question Div, Options Div, Timer).
- Define an array
questionscontaining objects withtext,options, andcorrectindex. - Write a function
showQuestion()that clears the old content and injects new buttons. - Add event listeners to the buttons to check answers and move to the next question.
- Implement the timer logic; when it hits zero, jump to the results page.
- Use
JSON.stringify()andJSON.parse()to manage local storage data.
Evaluation Criteria
- Functionality (No bugs in question flow or scoring).
- Clean DOM manipulation (No hard-coded text in HTML for questions).
- User feedback (Animations or color changes for Correct/Incorrect).
- Effective use of Array methods (map, filter).
- Logic modularity (Small, single-purpose functions).
