A quiz machine script that pulls questions from the Open Trivia Database (https://opentdb.com) as well as from custom notecards. Add to any prim to turn it into a quiz machine! An example object is included.
Answers are multiple choice, requiring only sending a single letter in chat, which can lessen the disadvantage of slow typers, and remove the guesswork at finding the correct form of an answer a machine wants. Players can only answer once per question to avoid individuals simply spamming all the answers. However, this also means it is NOT compatible with popular Trivia Ball notecards. Notecards must be created specifically for this script in order to work. A validation tool is included to check whether notecards are formatted correctly before using/distributing them.
The script is open source, and contributions are welcome here:

Multiple languages are supported for dialogs and messages (however, the Open Trivia Database itself only provides questions in English). The following languages are currently included:
- English
- Italian (translation provided by KATIE08TS)
- German (translation provided by DeniseLaetitia)
If you would like to contribute a translation, please message Annabelle Puddles inworld, or create a pull request on the Github repository.
superb
very nice to use to create personal quizzes, easy to set up via notecard
Really good
I have a Trivia Machine but it is pretty old now, so I picked this up and it is great, exactly what I needed.
