Survey of Technology
HTML- HTML is the short form for HyperText Markup Language. This markup
language is widely used for content creation and structuring on the World Wide Web. It
defines headings, paragraphs, links, images, and even forms, all defined using pre-
programmed network like tags. HTML forms the base structure on which browser renders
web content to be read by the human eye. Use of semantic elements in HTML5 - adds
meaning and accessibility along with SEO. Dynamic and interactive web pages developed
with the help of HTML, along with CSS for styling and JavaScript.

CSS- This is short for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is descriptive of how an HTML
document should look or be laid out. The use of CSS aids various styles in color, fonts,
spacing, and positioning elements on a web page. It supports the separation of content
from design, so it is easily maintainable and accessible. Selectors, properties, and media
queries in CSS can create responsive designs.

JAVASCRIPT- It is a very flexible, high-level scripting language and is primarily

applied to make web browsers interactive and functional. As the core technology of the
World Wide Web, aside from HTML and CSS, it has empowered the developers to form
dynamic interfaces which can be adapted in realtime according to the needs of the users.
This makes it possible to update document structures, contents, styles, or layouts in real-
time without forcing the whole reload of a page of content.

MYSQL- It is an open-source relational database management Structured Query

Language System that uses for data administration. Data will be placed in tables and
allows for very complex queries and relationships between datasets. Very high performing
and reliable. It supports the features of transactions, integrity of data and security with the
features of authenticating the user as well as controlling the access. It performs its
operations on different operating systems and has the distinction of having an extended
community which contributes to its present development and has extensive
documentation.
PHP- This is the open source, server-side scripting language widely used in the
world of web development. Putting dynamic and interactive HTML together with the code
of PHP makes it one of the most popular server-side scripting languages. It is a popular
choice for many due to its simplicity and support for a wide range of databases. It has been
the most popular server-side scripting language for web applications, content management
systems, and ecommerce solutions. It supports a good number of frameworks, including
Laravel and Symfony, streamlining development processes. PHP has an enormous
community, many documents, and available libraries with functionality that makes it
strong and efficient in the development of applications.

APIs- The ability to include external data and services within the development of
a quiz game is something that APIs offer. They can provide access to databases from which
random, categorized questions may be requested over a server; there are other rather well-
known APIs that have a wealth of trivia questions on a particular subject and at specified
levels of difficulty-including the Open Trivia Database. Moreover, APIs would assist in
the authentication of the user and also the tracking of a leader-board, analytics tracking.

Requirement & Analysis

3.1 Problem Definition

A quiz game basically aims at developing an interactive platform through which the
user can test his or her knowledge in different subjects and topics. This project aims to
develop a web-based quiz game that will engage users and make them have a great
entertaining experience while using it; ease of use, scalability, and reliability are intended to
be ensured.

Key problems to address:

 User Engagement: This type of quiz game is likely to be challenging in terms of

engagement. The users are most likely going to get bored due to repetition, with no incentives
attached. Incentives that will affect retention include leader boards, achievements, various
categories of questions, and interactive formats. These elements create more dynamic
experience-a drive to participate and come back for more.

 Question Management: Question management of a quiz game takes the form of

curating and updating a wide range of questions efficiently without causing either loss in
quality and relevance. It was challenging for avoiding duplication, ensuring equilibrium, and
proper categorizing of questions. A structured database system can ensure such processes
through easier updation processes, thus bettering the user experience.

 User Experience: For instance, in the context of a quiz game, such a design may really
disturb the user experience through crowded interface arrangements, confusing navigation
details, and slow performance. Therefore, if it gets challenging for users to understand how to
play or technical issues interfere with their way, they get discouraged from playing. Hence,
the key elements would be maintaining simplicity of design, intuitive controls, and quick
loading times.
 Scalability: With a quiz game, issues relating to how the system would be able to
handle an increase of user traffic and concurrent sessions without any performance
degradation have always been there. With such a huge number of users emerging as more and
more clients logged into the game in such a system, managing data requests and the load on a
server has been difficult always. Thus, some of the strongest requirements for smooth play
and good use experience are sound infrastructure and a cloud solution.

 Data Security: Data security in a quiz game represents the protection of user
information, including personal details and scores, from being breached or accessed by
unauthorized people. Bad means of authenticating users plus making user data unencrypted
open avenues for possible attacks. Good posture on security is portrayed through strong
encryption, secure authentication, and proper security audit to ensure the protection of user
data and trust.

 Real-time feedback: Providing feedback in real-time to the player in a quiz game is

essential to be able to improve the learning of the user but is very hard to do so in an effective
manner. Failure in terms of response time or far too vague an explanation infuriates only the
player. Ensuring instant feedback for answers with some concise explanations keeps
engagement and improves the overall learning experience of the user.
