Is there a way to write a program in JS that has multiple choice, fill in the blank, and drag and drop questions?

I also want to achieve this without having to go to another page with a "next question" button Still very new to JavaScript and need some suggestions. Thanks!

:point_right: This is certainly doable in JavaScript.

But it may be a bit more than a "beginner" level project. Still, it would be fun objective as you continue your learning progress. Some specific things you'll want to learn about:

  • Event handlers, so you can react when something is chosen, filled-in, or dragged.
  • Event objects, so you can know where an item is dropped.
  • DOM manipulation, so you can visibly change things on the screen.
  • Animation techniques, so you can move things smoothly.
  • CSS transitions, which are not absolutely necessary but might be helpful.

When you get it built, consider posting it here — and be sure to tag me, I'd like to see it.
