Tutorial 7: Build a three-question quiz

You will make: a quiz that stores questions and answers in lists, asks the player each question, and counts correct answers.

Step 1 — Create the data

1. In Variables, create a variable named Score and another named Index.
2. Create two lists named Questions and Answers.
3. Add three short questions to Questions and the matching answers in the same order in Answers. For example, a question at item 1 must have its answer at item 1.

Step 2 — Ask and check each answer

Build this script using the list reporter blocks and an if block. Select the exact dropdown/list names you created.

when flag clicked
set [Score] to (0)
set [Index] to (1)
repeat (length of [Questions])
  ask (item (Index) of [Questions]) and wait
  if <(answer) = (item (Index) of [Answers])> then
    change [Score] by (1)
  change [Index] by (1)
say (join [Score: ] (Score))

Step 3 — Test it

1. Start the project and answer all three questions.
2. Correct answers should add one point; a wrong answer should leave the score unchanged.
3. Run again. Score and Index should reset at the start.
4. Try a capital letter change in an answer to see how the current equality block treats text. Avoid making a secret or personal question list.

Gotchas: a list is ordered, and questions/answers must stay aligned. The last item position can be used in supported list blocks, but keep this first project on numbered indices so the logic is easy to inspect. join does not add a space unless the text input includes one.
