The config.js file contains game settings. At the moment you can specify only 3 parameters:

• teamCount: number of teams participating in the game
• teamNames: has structure like number: "teamName". Should be separated by commas except the last one. If team name is not specified, the default name is Team [number], i.e Team 3.
• maxQuestions: maximum number of questions for the game. If not specified, the game will continue until all questions were answered.

The parameters should be separated by commas except the last one. teamNames should always contain curly braces {}.

The questions.js file is a question database. Question that can be included in the game should be there. Questions should be separated by commas except the last one. This is the basic question format:

{
time: 40,
points: 1,
id: 7,
text: 'Name a synonym of diskette',
answer: 'Floppy disk'
}

It contains such fields as:

• time: time in seconds given to answer the question (number)
• points: point for the correct answer (number)
• id: order number of question (number)
• text: the question itself (text wrapped into single or double quotes)
• answer: question answer (text wrapped into single or double quotes)

Note: when text is wrapped into quotes it MAY NOT contain the same quotes, i.e:

WRONG: 'It's me, Mario'

RIGHT: "It's me, Mario".
