It must have:
  • 10 questions related to courses you are taking now
  • 4 multiple choice answers in the form of sprites you click and use of broadcast
  • A custom start screen with instructions
  • A custom Win and Lose screen
  • A background for every question
  • A way of calculating your final score and telling you what you got while matching a special screen to it (You only need 3 screens for telling you how you did but you must tell them the actual score:  For instance - after answering the last question the Cat says "You got 9/10!" and the background screen has a trophy and says "Congrats A+!".   You need 3 rank screens like this:
    1. You failed
    2. You did OK
    3. You did amazing

The Scratch Quiz Game must have sprites you can click,  and use of Broadcast for any marks.  You cannot use the Answer-And-Wait system.

For those of you having trouble, here's a video showing me making the game in 9 minutes. This is just a start, and you will need to continue it to complete the assignment.  DO NOT use the same colors I did. Remember you can right-mouse-click to get a new menu to duplicate scripts!
