hey, just sharing my thought. so, after almost a week stuck in List<> part of Quiz Master course, i gonna skip this one. it burned trough my motivation. im stil pretty much beginner.and my habbit is to complety understand a lesson before continue it(some time it took me few hour for 10 minute course)

im not blaming the instructor, because im using diferrent variable&method naming than the one in the course(helped me alot to understand C# and unity). but eventually i got lost in between and now i have enormous bug which i cant fix (even after few days of googling+chat GPT). the timer loop update stop after it switcth to unanswered state+unclicked state.and it got worse when i try to fix it(yeah,skill issue),the answer array is inconsistent beetwen question, wrong correct answer,etc. just sharing my thought.

so i will just skim throught the rest of Quiz Master course withouth practicing it

i just dont want to lose too much motivation than i can recover ,this early in learning unity. so i skip it. i hope i will eventualy have better understanding in c# and unity in general

Many others run into the same issue as you, that’s because(In my opinion) the Quiz Master game is out of order, TileVania is an easier game to complete. My suggestion to you would be to skip the Quiz Master and just go right on to TileVania, or skim through, like you are doing because you might still pick up on some stuff. I am saying this because the Quiz Master game is definitely harder than the next part of the course(TileVania), so you are better off coming back to the Quiz Master after you are done with TileVania.

This is because the Quiz Master introduces more unfamiliar topics such as UI, Buttons, and all the other complex stuff that is in that course. TileVania builds on what you already know, and doesn’t really increase in difficulty until the midway point. This allows people such as you to have a strong understanding of the basics, and then slightly moving up in difficulty. Once you are done with TileVania, you should be properly equiped to do the Quiz Master

Many students have complaints about that particular section of the course.

If you have access to the archived course I highly recommend doing the Text101 and Number Wizard UI sections, those will give you the skills to more easily understand Quiz Master.

I also suggest not overusing ChatGPT or Google, don’t get me wrong, those tools are great for intermediate to advance coders but if you are a beginner those tools will, probably, slow down your learning process, I’ve seen that many, many, many times here on the forums.

The way the lessons were structured for that section made it difficult to follow along. But you learn a lot of useful things; like making a main menu, using scriptable objects, and using public getter methods to pass private variables between scripts.

Personally, what I did to get though it was to disregard the challenges assigned to us and just follow along with what you’re shown to do. Then afterwards, you can analyze the code. You can right-click on variables or methods and go to where they’re referenced or implemented.

In other words, the code made more sense after it was all written out and I was able to see what it did in play mode.

But up to you. If it’s burning you out, you can certainly go to Tilevania first just to take a mental break.
