"Bible Quiz"

From the "Arcadian:"

"Bible Quiz" is a two player game.

A question about the Bible is printed on the screen with four multiple choice 
answers. If a player knows the answer he pulls his trigger. An arrow moves 
alongside the answers. When the arrow points to the proper answer the player 
again pulls his trigger. If he is correct a portion of a man will appear in his 
score box, else a portion will be taken away and the correct answer indicated. 
The screen then goes blank. The tape recorder should then be turned on to read 
the next question into the computer. Then the images again appear on the 
screen, turn off the recorder.

"Bible Quiz" is a teaching device that requires some pre-activity in loading 
question/answer segments. First punch in the program to line 5020, and store it 
on tape. Do not rewind, but let about 10 seconds of blank space be recorded. 
Then follow the instructions on page 49 and load a question/answer segment into 
the Bally. Lead that onto tape, and again leave about 10 seconds of space. 
Continue with segments as desired. When finished, the tape can be rewound and 
loaded into the Bally. When the game starts, shut off the recorder and answer 
the question. Once that is done, start the recorder again and it will 
automatically replace the question/answer with a new one. If you seem to get 
illogical questions/answers, it means that the separation between them on the 
tape is not great enough, or you are moving too slowly.


To record new questions for this game on a tape do the following:

Push RESET
5 STOP

GOTO 5

Note: C=1 if the answer is A,

The program can be easily changed to be used for any educational type testing
game by changing the title and making appropriate questions.
