Quiz creation, subtitles and languages
It’s been a long time since the last update here, but there has beena lot going on in the background. One of the main pieces of interest is a DVD which has a language selection mechanism on first pay, and combines three audio tracks with three subtitle tracks and an alternative video track as well! Just thinking through the combinations of playback – a set up and resume system, shoing the right subtitles even if the user changes half way through and then switches to the alternate video track too…
Secondly, creating a four player quiz has been taking a lot of time, too. This has been a real challenge, making sure that the right player (or team of players) gets their turn, that scores are kept and that the questions are random. It has been incredibly interesting, to say the least.
As soon as practical, I’ll develop some sample projects and tutorials for these two scenarios and post them here for people to read.
