[JAVA] The Music Quiz

The Music Quiz is a simple music quiz game I am currently developing to learn how to program in java and how to use git.

There are different questions types in the quiz, which are all about albums:

• Who ? - You have to find the author of the album
• When ? - You have to find when the album was released
• Which ? - You have to find the name of the album according to the artist name and the released date
• By cover - You have to find the name of album author and the released date according to the given album cover
• Random - Randomly asked one of the above questions

In addition to these question types, you have the option Discover: question are replaced by information about an album. It is a good way to learn about available albums in the database.

Database

The database is build from different albums charts you can find on the internet (like on Rate Your Music) thanks to a python script. This python script is also scraping information from Wikipedia, and translating them in english if needed thanks to Deepl.

Test (Linux)

First, install the Nunito font pack with the instal_fonts.sh file if you don't already have it (it is not mandatory):

$ sh instal_fonts.sh

Then, you need to compile all the files thanks to the compile.sh file (WARNING: do not forget to change the classpath for javaFX):

$ sh compile.sh

To run the application, you just have to run the run.sh file (WARNING: do not forget to change the classpath for javaFX):

$ sh run.sh
