Mini Trivia Engine

Recommended Posts

Nothing special, just some small trivia engine I wrote back in 2012 for my server that I haven't been using since then because I dropped out this feature, so I leave it here if someone finds use for it

 

package drake.aepvp.l2event;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import l2.ae.pvp.gameserver.ThreadPoolManager;

	{

		try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file)))
		{
			String line;
			while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
			{
				final String[] explode = line.split(" - ");
				_trivias.add(new TriviaTemplate(explode[0], explode[1]));
			}
			System.out.println("Succesfully loaded " + _trivias.size() + " Trivia Quizes!");
		}
		catch (final Exception e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
			System.out.println("Unsuccesfully loaded " + _trivias.size() + " Trivia Quizes!");
		}

			ThreadPoolManager.getInstance().scheduleGeneralAtFixedRate(() ->

}

 

 

 

To connect it to your gameserver just put this somewhere in Say2.java

if (_type == TELL && "trivia".equalsIgnoreCase(_target))
{
	final TriviaEvent trivia = TriviaEngine.TriviaEvent.getCurrentTrivia();
	if (trivia == null)
		activeChar.sendMessage("Could not find an active Trivia Event.");
	else
		trivia.check(activeChar, _text);
	return;
}

Trivia data I was using (I generated this with a java program that was leeching QAs from various sites)

Things you have to do by urself:

Don't ask the same question within a time period

Create your own QA data on trivias.txt

Unhardcode the rewards or just edit them

impelement a //reload feature

 

The code is tested on live server and worked great, but it is not unit tested and I don't remember if these functions are regex vulnerable

didnt even touch the code, not showing off anything here just a nice feature

It's both an old shared feature and really poor code.

Elfo calm down you're decent in coding but even this does not mean that back in 2012 you did binary exploitation. Obviously xdem is also decent in coding but as he mentioned the code is 6 years ago. 

 

I'm referring to both of you. Voluntarily you're just feeding some people like Melron and baksteen who are searching in stackoverflow and Ctrl C Ctrl V code.

You are bat man. nothing special
