Inspiration
Trivia Game UI was inspired by the need for a simple, reusable way to bring interactive quizzes into Horizon Worlds. Instead of each creator coding timers, scoring, and question logic from scratch, I wanted to build a drop-in system that anyone could customize with their own JSON data. The first version ships with Bible trivia as an example, but the engine is flexible enough for education, onboarding, lore, or entertainment.
What I Learned
- How to design a clean separation between UI rendering and game logic in Horizon Worlds.
- Efficient use of bindings for dynamic question, timer, and feedback updates.
- Building a JSON schema for configurable content and grading systems.
- Optimizing for both mobile and VR players with responsive layouts and urgency cues.
- The importance of making assets remixable so creators can extend and reskin them.
How I Built It
- Created a UI layer for the quiz panel: question card, four multiple-choice buttons, and a circular countdown timer.
- Wrote a game manager to load and parse JSON trivia data, randomize questions, and enforce skip limits.
- Added feedback logic to highlight answers (green/red) and display positive or corrective messages.
- Implemented a grading system with configurable score ranges, letter grades, and achievement hooks.
- Integrated leaderboards and persistent variables to track average score, high score, and test history.
- Centralized theming in a single CONFIG object, letting creators adjust fonts, colors, textures, and sizes quickly.
Challenges
- Designing a UI that works equally well in mobile and VR environments.
- Keeping the gameplay fast-paced and engaging with urgency colors and feedback timing.
- Preventing question repeats while still randomizing selection across large data sets.
- Balancing extensibility with simplicity so both advanced devs and beginners can remix it easily.
Why It Matters
This asset lowers the barrier to adding trivia and knowledge checks in Horizon Worlds. Whether used for fun games, lore exploration, classroom learning, or corporate training, Trivia Game UI gives creators a flexible template that saves time and encourages remixing. Worlds
