Subject: The Author's Kitchen

Posted by: trident
Date: Jan 16 15

In the relatively near future, a new quiz-writing game will be launched here at FunTrivia. Instead of focusing on idea creation, like Kyle's wonderful games, this new game is meant to foster motivation.

Some of our regular authors may find the game to be ridiculously addictive! I am hoping we will attract new and former authors to start writing more quizzes. The editors have seen glimpses of what is to come and everyone is quite excited to launch the new game.

So everyone, please get your aprons ready because the tacos are coming!

Well done, Reedy! The best I have ever managed is three from one quiz.

That's galling to hear...

Virtually every time I have a quiz go on-line my ingredients all double or triple up.

I'm getting a bit sick of it now to be truthful :-(

So should I interpret today's Crazed Chef report to mean there are no recipes out there currently which have not been made.

It reads "Did you onow that no one has made the recipe before?"

As if it pulls automatically from the available list but the list is cutrently empty. Does he not report on the secret unpublished recipes for that and if not, can we at lesst know if any of those currently open or if peoplee still shooting for innovator should hold off and wait for the next batch of new recipes

.

Yes, all recipes have been made at least once. However, I am currently in the process of making a giant new batch (it's taking me forever, sorry!).

I still don't get this game. Do ingredients just appear whenever a quiz goes online? You don't have to do anything? Just show up? Also, I have a lot of ingredients, yet I cannot make a single recipe. :(((

Yes. Five ingredients and a recipe for every quiz you write--nothing else needs to be done.

You can also get ingredients for writing single questions, but you have to claim those yourself using the link on the main page.

Gracious, you can try mixing ingredients that you think might make one of the listed dishes, even if you don't have a recipe to confirm them. I made a BLT that way, when I was frustrated at having so few ingredients that matched my recipes. If you check every day, you may hit it lucky in the market and be able to trade something you don't need (like the fifth tomato) for a key missing ingredient.

Thank you trident. Just trying to plan some kitchen strategy. No rush on the new set as far as I am concerned. I have a few quizzes in the works so maybe I can snag some more ingredients first. Some of us arent quite prolific enough at authoring so as to have five tomatoes ;)

Well, the other day I got chili, and I was able to make Chili con Carne simply by guessing (no recipe). :-)

So far, it's the only thing I've been able to throw together, though for a couple of known recipes I have 3 of 4 ingredients.

Trading shrewdly at the market is a good idea. It's how I made my only recipe.

Congrats on your first dish! Hopefully those other pesky ingredients will come your way soon. Watching the market is very helpful!

Any news on a new challenge along these lines, Trident? I do so like collecting those little icons.

Challenge-wise, I don't really know if Terry is going to revisit the Kitchen. It has several badges and mini-badges already, so I don't know if the possibility of adding more is in the cards.

However, I will be adding a large batch of new dishes in the future, as soon as I can finish designing everything.

Sounds like fun :)

I actually was wondering about a new category altogether though, but like the Kitchen one, with little icons you can win along the way.

It doesn't have to be recipes. It could be...

Oh pooh, I can't think of one. Me and my big ideas

There are always ideas in the works! It is just a matter of fully developing these ideas and then implementing them properly. And Terry has to program everything from scratch, which is what he did with the Kitchen.

There may be new games in the future, and certainly there are some proposals sitting there. However, ideas are worth pennies and implementation is a lot of hard work.

Is it possible that the system adds two new recipes to the list when a quiz goes online? Every recipe that I had unlocked, I had made and was crossed out. Today, I had a new quiz go online and there were two new recipes unlocked that I had not yet made.

I keep track of every recipe I get and I've never gotten more than one at a time.
