Tonight I'm releasing a feature update to the quiz series Trivial Trivia. I felt the need to post about this via blog as it is the first step into improving these games on a base level. I have a few more QOL changes I would like to make, along with a few features planned. Since this is more of a visible update than the last few, I'll go ahead and leave info about it here. At this time all released (minus Cyberpunk 2077) games in the series have received the update. Here's what is new with each game:
Core Version Update #6
Tonight marks the 6th major update of the core code that these quizzes are built on. Here's what is new with version 6:
Added further Newgrounds integration.
Two new ''popouts' now appear on the start and end screens.
One popout displays user information (if logged in, ask you to log in if you're not).
The other popout displays upon submitting your score. This will also alert you if you qualify for any medal(s).
Added basic anti-cheat.
Various functions now check for the validity of scores submitted.
Certain scores cannot be submitted. If impossible scores are sent, they will be rejected.
The Play Again button will now bring you to the start page, not the quiz page.
This is for a certain feature I plan to add in a future release.
Blade Runner Trivia
Updated core version from 3 to 6 (all changes above added to this game + more behind-the-scenes stuff).
This resulted in many different visuals vs how it appeared previously (as pictured at the top of this post).
Changed music from to another track in the same ballpark.
Changed theme colors to improve readability.
Regarding next week's game, it will be a 2-parter. It is based on a request I received via PM and would like to fulfill it completely. You can expect two games next week, one on Tuesday, another on Thursday. The Tuesday release will spoil the Thursday release, which is fine. I'll hopefully have a new feature ready by Thursday's release that I will be able to share more info on closer to that date.
Thanks for reading!
