Boredom Buster: Sustainability Trivia

Published:

The idea

I was procrastinating during a study break and realised I wanted to quiz myself on sustainability concepts — but every existing quiz felt either too academic or too shallow. So I thought: why not build exactly the one I want?

The plan is a simple, no-login quiz game in plain HTML/CSS/JS. Ten questions per round, a mix of climate science, policy trivia, and “wait, I didn’t know that” facts. Fun enough to share, nerdy enough to actually teach something.

What AI will help with

  • Generating a large bank of questions (and verifying the facts — this part matters)
  • Writing the JavaScript game logic from a description, since my JS is rusty
  • Styling suggestions to make it look clean without a framework

What I want to learn

How to go from “Claude write me a quiz game” to something I actually understand and can extend myself. The goal isn’t to have Claude build it — it’s to co-build it and come out knowing how it works.

This is still in the idea stage. Coming soon!
