QuizMasterLite is a streamlined version of the original QuizMaster app, designed specifically for users who prefer a lighter, faster, and more resource-efficient experience. Unlike QuizMasterMini though, QuizMasterLite still uses pygame as the main GUI framework, ensuring that the user experience is still aesthetically pleasing.
Benifits:
- Prioritizing Core Features: Focuses on the fundamental quiz functionalities that matter the most.
- Streamlined Performance: Reduces processing demands by eliminating non-essential components.
- Consistent Usability: Retains the familiar, user-friendly interface of the original app while trimming unnecessary overhead.
- Lightweight Design: Ideal for environments with limited storage or processing power.
- Smaller Storage Usage: Only a quarter of the size of QuizMaster.
- Clone this repository via terminal:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/badguyland/QuizMasterLite
If you prefer not to include the example quizzes, you can omit the --recurse-submodules flag: git clone https://github.com/badguyland/QuizMasterLite
- Enter the directory containing the game executable:
cd QuizMasterLite
Run the included script ./setup.sh (Linux) or setup.bat script for Windows.
- Set up a new virtual environment:
python3 -m venv venv - Activate the environment:
source venv/bin/activate(To decativate, typedeactivate) - Install tkinter:
sudo apt-get install python3-tk - Install packages in
requirements.txt:pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Steps 1 and 2 are optional, but recommended if you wish to avoid a headache with Python module conflicts.
To run the program, enter ./run.sh for Linux or run.bat for Windows into the terminal.
Alternatively, if you did not create a virtual environment, start the application using ./quiz.py for Linux and python quiz.py for Windows.
