Functions

Functions and their question associations

1. Get current day of the week - Q1 (Hint: Date.now())
2. Get current year - Q2 (Hint: Date.now())
3. Get county associated with current location - Q3 (Hint: HTML Geolocation and Google Maps API)
4. Timer for display/question duration, i.e. move onto next question when time is reached - Q4 and Q6 (Hint: Timed events in Javascript)
5. Get x and y coordinates of touch or mouse input and return as an array of two-tuples [(x1, y1), (x2, y2)..., (xn, yn)] in order reflecting the drawing movement - Q9 and Q10 (Hint: the p1 variable in the current code)
6. Load an audio file when a question is reached. (Allow repetition?) (Hint: HTML Audio and Video elements, JavaScript media events, e.g. this demo app which is supposed to output the numbers you say)
7. Load a video file when a question is reached (Hint: HTML Audio and Video elements, JavaScript media events)
8. Translate speech input into text (Hint: Speech API - but its performance is quite poor)
9. Convert handwriting (input through touch) into text (tricky one, still no widely available solution).
