Setting Tool

Hi All

I have made a setting tool at: https://quizcentral.net/setter.html

Permission right now is restricted to a few people (this group) but can be opened up later.

This will replace the uploading process for all mimirs, league sets, buzzer sets and friendlies. I also intend to skin it for COQL too.

Advantages

  • Removal of manual processes for locking, uploading and unlocking sets
  • Easy for editors to make and save corrections that are instantly live
  • Granular permissions so the set can be released to readers at specific times e.g. if a person is still to play the set themselves they can be added and will only be able to read the set once their match is over (this can all be automated and checked when they claim a match)
  • Colaborative editing - an edit by one person won't overwrite the edits of another even if they are open on the same sheet (this is a key difference between this and an earlier unreleased version of this tool)
  • Quick sorting of sets to view by subjects and pairs to viewing by quads. Easy to view by player too.
  • Removal of third party image hosting

To be added

  • Playtester feedback page - editors will have a link they can send to playtesters who will be able to log their scores and feedback
  • Ability to create of multilingual sets so a (e.g.) mimir could potentially display questions and answers in four languages picked by the reader at the start according to the players in the match
  • Updated scoring tools that work with this system
  • Audio and video uploads

Feedback

Please edit this sheet or contact me directly if you find a bug or want something added:

Launch

After testing and when everything is ready, launch will take place with a friendly set.
