How to set up

Follow these steps to host a quiz:

Make your own quiz by editing conf/quiz/quiz-config.yml. You can test your quiz by starting a local server with it (see the installation section above)
Host the server somewhere accessible to all players
During a quiz, share the link to your server with all players. You can go to the same page and unlock the master controls via the padlock icon (if you configured a masterSecret in quiz-config.yml). The important pages during the quiz:
The player's answer submission page: This is what players use to input their answers.
The quiz page: This is the screen to show to all players. It shows the questions, player scores and plays audio and video.
The master page: This is a screen only for the quizmaster. It allows you to score player answers and generally control the quiz flow.
