Space Junk Quiz for NatGeo!

posted: June 19, 2010
The good people at National Geographic apparently thought we did such a bang-up job on our first interactive quiz for them, that they gave us another assignment. This one is based on your knowledge of Space Junk.

As we did on the first assignment with NatGeo, the entire quiz is written in javascript. Indeed, a much faster and eaiser way to go than producing this the way we used to do using Flash.


One of the things that Nat Geo is trying to accomplish here is to encourage people to post their scores to Facebook. We've written all of this into the script - so if you take the quiz, make sure to check out our nifty bit of code that pushes your result to the Facebok Connect application.

No sooner had we finished this, than Nat Geo was on the horn again for another one! Woo Hoo! The one we are working on now is much more complex, with a hefty supply of animation and interactive elements. It will go live in July, 2010 and the summary will get posted here in the bug lab.
