One thing though, if the prettier formatting is not what you want (it replaced the double quotes with single quotes, whitespace, etc, that is why it shows so many changes), I can re-format by making another commit.

Yeah, no worries. I use that extension too!

Hey Vrindavan,

Thanks a lot for your contribution!!

Looks good, only issue I got is that if the first question goes wrong it doesn't minus any points, ideally it should -100 even for the first question, and then it ads back to positive once you get a question right? What do you think about that.

Also, I see you changed the button colors, it looks much better now, only issue is this color doesn't look too nice now, can you change it a little bit?

Thanks a ton,

Oh sorry, I pressed the review button again. Anyway, that is weird because I did not change the colors at all. I just added the function in the js file and rules in the rules file.
I can make it so that it reduces points even on the first question but before I do that: can you tell me if you want the lowest score to reach -100 or even lower?

Oh sorry, I got confused, you didn't change the colors, dw about it.

If the person gets all the questions wrong, per question it -100 so if they get 15 questions wrong -1500, if it's a 10 question quiz and they get 5 wrong and 5 correct, score will be zero. Let's see how that would work out.

I have removed the 0 cap so now score can go below zero and removed that from rules also.

Works perfectly. Thanks for your contribution.
