Who wants to be a Bible lover?

During the Youth Camp just now, I popped out an idea of some Bible quiz with some real questions just like the game Who wants to be a millionaire.

The problem was how do we display the questions, select, identify it as true or false. Moreover, features like 50:50 won't go away from it.

So I made a small program out of VB.NET with MS SQL Server Express for the game. A simple program that just grab questions and the options randomly in each level it is.

Lack of the interface to input the question though; that I did it in only 1 night. So I have to put the questions and options and answer directly to the database table using the IDE.

There was a bug in the application and it popped out during the quiz. After the 50:50 (where I hide the visibility of random options that are not the answers), I forgot to enable the visibility upon next question.

Yes.. It was a dumb bug I admit, but it was a 1 night programming and I didn't even have the time to thoroughly test it out. However, eventually the game had a positive response from most people.

In fact, we at the youth fellowship (P3MI) are gonna take this quiz up again on next Saturday, 11th Nov 2006. Anybody insterested to join? See how good u know the Bible.

Here's the screenshot of the game.

The 50:50 hides two options that are not the answer.

And the setup screen for the questions. The system randomly chooses any question with the same level that has not been displayed before.


We found this game very educating since this would promote interesting facts about the Bible that many of us do not know of.
