Include option to ‘always ask to continue

React Trivia Game is an open source quiz app. The game is simple, but I enjoy playing it. It has many categories where users can select which one he/she wants to play. The app is straightforward to use. As a user, when you choose the type you want to compete, you can merely select the difficulty level. There are mixed, easy, medium and hard. Below this, there is another option where users can choose numbers of questions he/she want to answer. There are 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50. It uses the internet to get questions from the project database.

So far, the game has been fun, but there is an area I want to propose an improvement.

When you pick any number of games to play, once started, you cannot pause/stop/pend the game again. It gives 10 secs for the player to answer each question. Therefore, if you pick 50 questions to answer it will take 500 seconds to answer them, which is 8:33 min. So if any situation arises within the gaming period, and the user wants to pause to do something there, is no
means for that. The pause button will also allow people to cheat while playing the trivia game. The user can pause to search for an answer which is not cool; however, there is undoubtedly a way to go around it.

Now, there could a function that will be enabled on the setting/category interface, which will be created to check and uncheck. This function will ask if the user wants to continue/or always ask to continue. Users will enable if they wish to and disable if they don't want to use it. For instance, when a player selects 10 questions and press start, the game starts counting 10 sec per question if the player fails to answer within the time frame the game will be over. But when this feature is enabled, when the start game button is pressed, the game start and count the normal 10sec for the user to decide the answer, but after each question, the game will show if the answer is correct or incorrect with this option popping up like this.

Do you want to proceed? Yes.

Mock up

The image at the left side shows the current interface of the application; the right image shows the incorporation of the feature I proposed.

The image below shows how the pop up will look like.

This question will pop up when the following question is not up so users cannot cheat. This will just give users a kind of control over time. If I am playing, and I want to pee, I can just leave it, pee and come back to the game.

This is the idea I found from my experience using the application, and I believe users and the project owner should greatly benefit from the concept. Users won't be able to cheat, but they will have control over the game and play conveniently. Apparently, it will make the app more friendly.

Thank you!
