How to Contribute! (7:30 minutes, Youtube)
Help us contribute to this! Because of the way the repo is organized, simply dumping questions/answers/links into questions.json would suffice to share questions across all cohorts, if merged in via Pull Requests.
Per Issue #42, we could deal with choosing a subset of questions at the beginning of the round, and allow categorizing of the questions via topic/module. This bears a longer discussion, but right now, fork/edit/deploy will suffice for anyone to try this tool out with their own questions.
Question Schema:
prompt: String
choices: [String]
answer: String
links: [{href(URL), text(String)}]
-
Currently limited to the static list of questions defined in questions.json
-
An authoring tool/question randomizer would be great - but meanwhile, edit the questions and redeploy
- Set up your questions, with answers and reference links, in questions.json
- Make a new heroku app, if you don't have one already.
- Do
yarn build
, and commit built files. - Push to your heroku instance.
- Bring
http://your-app.herokuapp.com/live
up on the shared projector display, andhttp://your-app.herokuapp.com/remote
up on a device. - Students should see on the home page that they can join at the link
http://your-app.herokuapp.com/
- Students will enter their names and wait.
- Students answer
- When the instructor desires, they Reveal the answer
- Then Advances to the next question

round
- the current question and any responsestitle
- the title of the gameplayers
- who's playing: map of Guid to{name}
clientId
- each browser tab is identified with a Guid stored in state here, and this is sent along with every response to the server
Currently every connected browser gets an update of the server-side state object via a STATE_UPDATE
event.
This means everyone's response goes to everyone's browser. While that is inefficient, it is intended to be pruned down later. Per Issue #26 though, it would be nice for a user to know whether they were the first to answer, and thus some knowledge of others' responses could be useful.
The Huboard Kanban Board has a bunch of issues, which are synced to Github Issues. Huboard is awesome.
Thank you for helping to make Trilobytes awesome and improve Student fun and retention!
