EZ Quiz

Getting Started

Enter a topic in the Topic field, set Length and Difficulty.
Click Start to generate and begin the quiz, or open Options for more controls.

Generate vs Start

Start (default): generates → parses → starts the quiz.
Generate (Options → Quiz Editor open): fills the Editor and Mirror only; the quiz starts when you click Start.
Re‑using Generate clears the editor and creates a fresh set.

Options & Quiz Editor

Options: Timer, Theme, Question Types, and Defaults.
Quiz Editor: Editor (paste or load .txt), Mirror (raw lines), Copy prompts, Export .txt.
Supported types: Multiple Choice (single/multiple), True/False, Yes/No, Matching.

Defaults

Save as default stores your Count, Difficulty, and Types for next time.
Use Reset defaults to clear saved generation defaults.

Timer & Settings

Stopwatch or Countdown (mm:ss) in Settings; preferences persist locally.
Optional: Require answer to advance; Auto‑start after generate (Start mode only).

Taking Quizzes

Navigation: Enter/Right = Next; Backspace/Left = Previous.
Answers: MC (A–D or 1–4), True/False (T/F), Yes/No (Y/N).

Results & Retakes

Results show score, time, and Missed/All (Missed first by default).
Retake missed only: use the caret next to Retake.

AI Generation

Generate sends Topic, Length, Difficulty, and selected types to the AI.
If nothing returns, try again shortly (rate limits), use Demo Set, or paste lines into the editor.

FAQ

Q: What’s the difference between “Start” and “Generate”?: A: Generate fills the Editor and Mirror so you can review or edit. Start actually begins a quiz run — think Generate as “draft mode,” Start as “play mode.”
Q: Why is the Mirror empty?: A: The Mirror shows raw quiz lines (MC|, TF|, etc.). It stays blank until you Generate or paste lines into the Editor.
Q: Can I edit the quiz before starting?: A: Yes. Use the Editor to change or add your own questions. When you’re ready, click Start to run the version you’ve prepared.
Q: What are the Retake options?: A: Retake All repeats the full quiz. The caret menu lets you retake only the questions you missed, or shuffle everything for a fresh run.
Q: How do I change settings like timer or theme?: A: Open the ⚙ Settings menu. You can adjust timer length, appearance theme, and reset to defaults at any time (except while a quiz is running).
Q: Where can I export or copy my quiz?: A: In the Quiz Editor, you’ll find options to copy quiz lines for AI prompts or export them as a .txt file.
Q: What happens if the app updates mid‑quiz?: A: Nothing changes until you finish or exit. Updates only apply once you refresh or start a new quiz, so your current run is never interrupted.
Q: How does feedback work?: A: Feedback is sent securely through a server function. Messages are sanitized, rate‑limited, and delivered to the maintainer’s inbox.

Beta version

v1.5.0-beta.9

Serverless fallback: AI calls now roll through /.netlify/functions/generate-quiz, /api/generate, and the default Netlify domain so missing rewrites or proxies no longer break Start/Generate.
Cache bust: bumped asset query strings to v1.5.14 and service worker cache to v123 so every client grabs the fix immediately.
AI fix: refreshed the Gemini model so Generate and Start deliver quizzes again without extra setup.
Previous polish retained: softened surfaces, wide-phone toolbar, and consistent spacing from beta.7 remain.

v1.5.0-beta.8

Start/Generate hotfix: AI calls hit /.netlify/functions/generate-quiz first, keeping production alive when /api/generate rewrites vanish.
Cache bust: bumped asset query strings to v1.5.13 and service worker cache to v122 for immediate delivery.
Previous polish retained: softened surfaces, wide-phone toolbar, and consistent spacing from beta.7 remain.

v1.5.0-beta.7

Softer surfaces: inputs, cards, and chips now use muted 1px borders and a gentle blue-violet focus ring—no more neon glow.
Generator breathing room: toolbar flips to a spacious two-column grid on wide phones (≈430–720px) so controls stop crowding each other.
Consistent spacing: section labels, results cards, and modal groups pick up the same relaxed gaps and radius tokens.
Deployment: cache-busted assets to v1.5.12 with service worker cache v121 for immediate delivery.

v1.3.0-beta.0

Interactive Editor (beta): opt‑in, card‑based authoring for MC/TF/YN that stays in sync with the raw Editor/Mirror (enable in the Quiz Editor).
Removed the gradient backdrop behind floating buttons; kept subtle shadows.
Added Reset App (clears caches + unregisters service workers).
Added URL reset: ?clear=1 or #clear-cache for stuck devices.
Bumped asset versions and service worker cache for reliable updates.

v1.2.0-beta.4

Retake button always runs the full quiz; caret offers Missed only.
Footer version is clickable — now opens this modal.
Service worker cache bumped for offline freshness.
