TriviaDB

[github-actions]

Description

The TriviaDB Extension allows you to fetch trivia questions and answers, validate user responses, and reset the quiz for a new round. It simplifies the process of creating trivia games in GDevelop by handling data fetching, answer shuffling, and checking whether the selected answer is correct. Perfect for quiz-based projects!

This extension, excluding additional requirements, was written entirely using GDevelop's primary events, no JavaScript needed.

1 Example

To enhance the user experience, the extension includes a feature that allows you to check if it’s working as expected by pressing Shift + I, which will display the results in the console. Additionally, the extension prevents 429 errors and unexpected behavior by using dynamic scene selection. This enables you to create multiple quizzes with random outputs. Although the extension currently supports a hardcoded selection of 5 parameters (1 question + 4 answers), TriviaDB can handle up to 50 parameters. However, the current setup is ideal for most quiz creators who don’t want to deal with custom quiz setups.
