What You Will Learn
- Store flag images as costumes of a single sprite
- Use pick random to select a flag each round
- Display 4 answer buttons with one correct and three random options
- Track score, lives and accuracy across 10 rounds
- Show a grade and percentage at the end of the quiz
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Add 10 flag costumes to a flag sprite (draw simple flags or import images).
- 2Create a matching list of country names in the same order as the costumes.
- 3On start: pick a random number 1–10, switch flag sprite to that costume.
- 4Set the correct answer variable to the matching item in the country list.
- 5Create 4 answer button sprites. Set one to the correct answer, others to 3 random different countries.
- 6When correct button clicked: change score by 1, play cheer sound, next flag.
- 7When wrong button clicked: play buzzer sound, change lives by -1.
- 8After 10 flags: show score out of 10 and a grade (A: 9–10, B: 7–8, C: 5–6, F: below 5).
- 9Add a 10-second timer per question — auto-advance if the player doesn't answer.
- 10Shuffle the answer button positions each round so the correct one isn't always in the same spot.
