Creating quizzes
If you have an account, you can create a new quiz from your dashboard. As of now, you can make two types of quizzes:
- map quizzes
- writing system quizzes.
Map quizzes
For map quizzes, you are required to enter a geoJSON url. If you are using your own geoJSON, you must first upload it to an external hosting service (this will change later once hosting costs are covered by donations). Please make sure that you link to a permanent version of the geoJSON - if the ordering of shapes changes, the quiz will be incorrect!
Please note that geoJSONs are not the same as map-making.app JSONs. If you want to create a quiz from a map-making.app json, use the helper tool to turn it into a valid geoJSON. This helper tool automatically tries to generate polygons based on your tags - the end result is often a little wonky, but usually works just fine for a quiz.
(Technical note: your geoJSON must be a FeatureCollection whose features are all polygons/multipolygons.)
Language quizzes
For language quizzes, you are not required to enter any additional details, but you may enter a TTS language code. If this code is set, users will be able to use the text-to-speech feature to pronounce the transcribed word, and help them learn faster. You can find a full list of supported language codes on this page under the language code column.
