Appsolutely Pointless Quiz Game Setting Up The Quiz Game Events Page

So This Is Episode 4 of making the Appsolutely Pointless Quiz App which I have submitted to the PLAY store.
This Video Shows how To Setup The Quiz Game Events Page in a way that you can either enter each question manually, and we create the first three manually to test the game events are working along with some formatting adjustments, or you can wait for the final video where we copy and paste from an excel spreadsheet directly into the code which is great so you can a) have someone else create the questions and answers
b) reuse this core game with different topics which I want to create the larger training app.
My best advice is get yourself settled in and cosy as it is about 75 minutes long or get a pen and paper and jot down the time stamps. There is a suitable place to pause and pick up later roughly every 10 minutes or less but I wanted to keep as 1 video.
There are 2 videos left in this initial series
Episode 5 - End of Level Scene as in this video it is just blank background.
This is where you have a fully functioning App
Episode 6 - This is the bonus Mass Import of Questions from an Excel spreadsheet generated code and how to have excel generate that code for you.
You can Download assets from kenney.nl but a full folder of completed files can be downloaded from my website G Drive

A bit of background to this app concept is I want to create an App that is free at point of use but can help people learn subjects and test their knowledge. I also want to be able to create multiple apps from the same codebase by just changing the content and UI features.
I then Identified the biggest challenge would be loading in Questions with the correct and false answers available to be selected which can be prepared by someone else with no code knowledge or copy and pasted from another document and really try and bridge the old school methods.
For instance one of my old lecturers may have Question papers that can be scanned and read by OCR software to create a spreadsheet.
Now Its digital we can copy and paste it about - That part is another series of videos but this series is aimed at those that can't code and is a full walkthrough from downloading the software to sideloading onto an Android Phone. Gdevelop can create apps for Most platforms and App stores including Windows, Android and Iphone as well as HTML and facebook messenger.
Talking of learning, This series will also show a way to automate code creation with excel and how to create seamless structured arrays which I am very excited about as this whole game was very large but when I started playing around outside the box, The actual operating script was reduced immensely. Anyway I digress #Spoilers
This Tutorial will only go as far as making the game and testing via an APK as the Google Play Store submission process is always changing and this is all about learning.
There is lots of info regarding that already and yes GDevelop does also create the Android Package for the Play store which can be drag and dropped to your developer account. For more on wigleysoft and our apps and information, please visit
