Jabberwocky v1.1

Jabberwocky v1.1 is out now and can be downloaded here.

  1. The fact the the user is no longer prompted to be shown the menu again (thanks to Rach for the suggestion).
  2. The program now asks for confirmation before editing / deleting any question from the database, reducing the chances that something may accidentally be done to the database.
  3. Path to the Borland Graphics folder has been changed.
  4. Password authentication / change now uses the traditional ‘Enter’ to terminate, rather than ‘Space’ in the earlier version.
  5. Using ‘0’ to exit a mode has been added to more functions.

Thanks to all the people who wrote in with their suggestions / comments – me and Naman highly appreciate it. And thanks to Naman, my partner on the project, for bearing with me and my ‘Can’t compile the program at home’ shit. 🙂

Planned for future versions:

  • Adding the ability to keep scores for multiple teams in ‘Quizmaster Mode’.
  • Some sort of password encryption?

PS – Gaurav Trivedi, one of our Code Warriors, has created a pretty neat website creator as his project. Do check it out! Click here to download his cWeb3 (beta).

Jabberwocky v1

At last, my computer science project is ready! Me and Naman present Jabberwocky – The Utterly Weird Quizzing Software. Bear with me, the ‘official site’ ain’t complete yet, I’ve pre-Boreds going on for Bob’s sake! If I get time, I’ll make a proper site, otherwise I’ll use a blog engine. Considering that in one we went through FOUR different versions on ONE day doing bug fixes, I’m sure a blog engine WOULD be a better idea. Which reminds me, I need to install WordPress on my hosting account, and get out of this shithole of Blogger soon.

Click here to download Jabberwocky v1 (~200 KB). Read the ReadMe before starting off. The program comes bundled with 42 questions in its database, you can of course, add more. Suggestions are welcome.
