This is a project completed by @AntonioJacksonII for the Tandem Software Engineer Apprenticeship code challenge. This project was completed using Ruby on Rails.
At Tandem, we love to learn and have fun and what better way to do that than to play a round of trivia. One of our favorite ways to wait while our test suite is running is to hop over to the #games channel on Slack and play a quick round of trivia. Playing trivia isn’t just a fun way to learn something new but also a great way to take a little break from a normal work task.
While we’re all knowledgeable in our own right, only one person can be crowned trivia champion with the highest score. Your goal is to create an application that others will be able to use in order to help improve their trivia skills.
Train to improve your trivia knowledge by creating your own trivia training app!
Your goal is to create an application that displays trivia questions with multiple-choice answers to select from.
Use creative license in terms of how you want us to see this game. At minimum, the player can view the question(s), the answer choices, the correct answer upon submission, and their score. It could be a user interface (UI), command-line-tool, etc. Feel free to use whatever framework or language you are comfortable with.
We would also like to see a README which includes any information about how to run the code, any known issues or complexity we should look out for, and any additional features you would like to have added to make your trivia app even more awesome.
- A round of trivia has 10 Questions.
- All questions are multiple-choice questions.
- Your score does not need to update in real time.
- Results can update on form submit, button click, or any interaction you choose.
- We will provide you with the trivia data such as the questions, correct and incorrect answers via a JSON file.
- A user can view questions.
- Questions with their multiple choice options must be displayed one at a time.
- Questions should not repeat in a round.
- A user can select only 1 answer out of the 4 possible answers.
- The correct answer must be revealed after a user has submitted their answer.
- A user can see the score they received at the end of the round.
Tandem's first core value is "Ship Quality Work." We love unit tests and automated test coverage in our projects. Well-tested code provides documentation for other developers and prevents future regressions (bugs introduced after a change) among other things. If you would like a challenge, consider adding unit tests to display your commitment to quality code.
- To begin the challenge, I created an automated Kanban project board in GitHub Projects to track the action items needed to meet the challenge requirements (see screenshot below). I also added optional extensions to the project board to showcase additional skills not required by the challenge.
