QuizPlay v0.8.4

Practice all-questions option

  • Added All questions to the Practice Mode Round Size selector.
  • Selecting All uses every question in the selected set in randomized order.
  • Starting another practice game preserves the selected round size.
  • Corrected the Practice setup text to show DUM and WIZ.

QuizPlay v0.8.3

Practice bot labels corrected

  • Updated remaining Practice Mode references from SB0 to WIZ.
  • Updated remaining Practice Mode references from DB0 to DUM.
  • Internal bot identifiers remain unchanged for compatibility with existing saved settings.

QuizPlay v0.8.2

Immediate local timer start

  • Removed the visible ready/start transition that could shift the answer screen after a question was already displayed.
  • Each player timer now starts immediately when that question appears on that player device.
  • Local speed scoring continues to measure from question display to answer tap.
  • The server keeps a 3-second delivery grace before closing a timed-out question so slower delivery does not shorten a player’s usable answer window.

QuizPlay v0.8.1

Synchronized question start

  • Players now acknowledge that a question has been received and displayed before the server starts the countdown.
  • The server starts once all connected human players acknowledge the question, with a 3-second fallback so one slow or disconnected device cannot stall the game.
  • Local speed scoring still measures from each player’s displayed question to their answer tap.
  • This prevents players from receiving only a few seconds to read and answer because of delivery lag.

QuizPlay v0.8.0

Import format compatibility fix

  • Fixed QuizPlay question import so the standardized SET_ID / SET_NAME / QUESTION / MC / CORRECT format works.
  • Older SET / TITLE / Q / ANSWER import files remain supported.
  • Updated the import example shown in QuizPlay settings to use the standardized format.

QuizPlay v0.7.9

Fairer local response-time scoring

  • Speed bonus timing now measures from when the question appears on each player device to when that player taps an answer.
  • The phone sends its local response time with the answer so slower internet connections do not lose speed points just because the request reaches the server later.
  • The server still controls whether the question is open or closed and validates the reported response time against the question time limit.
  • Base correctness scoring remains unchanged.

QuizPlay v0.7.8

Practice bot names

  • Renamed practice bot DB0 to DUM.
  • Renamed practice bot SB0 to WIZ.
  • Existing internal bot settings remain compatible with prior QuizPlay games and settings.

QuizPlay v0.7.7

Home link and timer reliability

  • Added a configurable Home Page URL to QuizPlay settings.
  • The default Home Page URL is https://www.jbq.org/quiz-play/.
  • Added Back to Home buttons at the end of hosted and practice games.
  • Standardized question timing on UTC timestamps to prevent unexpectedly short answer windows.

QuizPlay v0.7.6

Practice mode flow fix

  • Removed the Ready button from Practice Mode.
  • Removed the 10-second Practice Mode delay; the game advances immediately after reveal.
  • Cleared stale practice timers and polling callbacks before starting a new practice round.
  • Fixed a new practice round changing question content while still showing the same question number.

QuizPlay v0.7.5

Practice flow controls

  • Added a Ready — Next Question button in Practice Mode to skip the remaining 10-second pause.
  • Added Start New Practice Game at the end of a practice round.
  • A new practice round starts from the same question set without requiring a host.
