3. Add more cards as needed. It is best to use the same card background throughout the quiz.
4. Add text object for question and answer choices with multiple-choice format. Use a text object for the question and a button for true/false.
5. Add sound to the button choices to indicate correct or incorrect.
6. Add buttons to navigate to the next card. (For multiple-choice it is best to put one question and answer choices per card).
