QuickMem Server - Mac, Linux, Windows

This version of QuickMem runs like a web server and quizzes are displayed in your web brower.

Features:
  • Greek and Hebrew word lists
  • Server runs on multiple platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X)
  • Connect with multiple clients (currently tested with Mozilla 1.x and Internet Explorer 6)
  • Supports 50+ students concurrently
  • Display anything permitted in HTML (text, graphics, sound, video, etc.)
  • Skinnable interface

To download QuickMem Server please select your OS platform:
Linux - Mac PPC - Mac Intel - Windows - N800 (2008)

Additional language modules:
Russian - included in download (interface is in English)

For best results I recommend you use FreeFont. It works with both the Greek and Hebrew word lists.

QuickMem Server Guide


How do I start the program?


I have enclosed a .bat file for use under Windows. Load the .bat file in a text editor and set any command line options or browser options. Make a shortcut link from the .bat file to your desktop or start menu. Make sure the shortcut link has the program directory as the working directory. If you are using a browser other than Internet Explorer or Mozilla then type its launch info in the .bat file.

What are the command line options?

QuizEngine.exe [quiz file name] [port] [password]

[quiz file name] is required
[port] the port you connect your web browser to the server (default is 4567)
[password] the password required for shutting down the server (default is no password)

How do I connect my web browser to the server?

If you are running the server and client on the same machine type the following URL into your browser: http://localhost:4567

Note that the http:// is required. This tells the browser that HTTP is to be the expected format for exchange with the server.
If you have changed the port number then do not use 4567 but the port you changed it to.
If the server is running on another machine then type that machine's ip address in instead of localhost (e.g. http://192.168.0.1:4567).

How do I make my own lists?
Using a text editor simply created a text file in the following format:

# To create your own lists:
# 1. Start your list names with a ^ symbol
# 2. Write out your question
# 3. Write out your answer
# 4. Rinse, repeat
# 5. Finish the file with a ^ symbol on its own line (and no more blank lines!)
#
# In case you haven't figured it out, comments begin with a # symbol.
#
# Be sure not to make any lines too long or you will receive unexpected results.
#
# Do not leave any lines blank or you will receive unexpected results.
#
# HTML code can be embedded in this file.
