• Download "Binaries (compiled files) with demo configuration" from the latest release
• Unpack the archive and open a terminal in the unpacked folder
• Run bin/server (UNIX) or bin/server.bat (Windows)
• Browse to http://localhost:9000

• Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/nymanjens/quizmaster.git
cd quizmaster
docker-compose --file=docker-compose-prebuilt.yml up

• conf/quiz/quiz-config.yml:
  Configure your quiz here (questions, choices, answers, images, ...). The existing one in the release is a demo config that contains most of the options.

Follow these steps to host a quiz:

• Make your own quiz by editing conf/quiz/quiz-config.yml. You can test your quiz by starting a local server with it (see the installation section above)
• Host the server somewhere accessible to all players
• During a quiz, share the link to your server with all players. You can go to the same page and unlock the master controls via the padlock icon (if you configured a masterSecret in quiz-config.yml). The important pages during the quiz:
  • The player's answer submission page: This is what players use to input their answers.
  • The quiz page: This is the screen to show to all players. It shows the questions, player scores and plays audio and video.
  • The master page: This is a screen only for the quizmaster. It allows you to score player answers and generally control the quiz flow.

• Quiz navigation
  • left/right: Go to the previous/next step of the question
  • alt + left/right: Go to the previous/next question
  • alt + shift + left/right: Go to the previous/next round
• Tools during question

  • shift + r: Play the current audio/video file from the beginning
  • shift + -/o: Subtract 30 seconds from the current timer
  • shift + =/+/p: Add 30 seconds from the current timer
  • alt + enter: Toggle enlarged image (if there is a visible image)
