mcQuiz is a multiple-choice question-and-answer web app. It comes with a number of versions depending on how mathematical expressions are rendered (TeXZilla or MathJax) and whether the question-and-answer data is encrypted (with or without Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption done using CryptoJS). TeXZilla rendering of math expressions works only on Mozilla browsers (e.g., Firefox and Seamonkey).

A demo can be found at https://justineuro.github.io/mcQuiz.

One can easily modify the available datasets by editing the question-and-answer data file, e.g., setDat-mc-tz-noaes.js and setDat-mc-tz-aes.js, that are found inside the js folder under the main directory:

1. Modify the 2nd and 3rd lines of the question-and-answer data file to add more topics. Simply add entries to the data labels array (datList) and the topics array (topicsList).
2. Modify, as needed, the 4th line to set the aes indicator (0 for no encryption, 1 for AES-encrypted).
3. Modify the 5th line, as needed, to indicate how math rendering will be done (texzilla for TeXZilla or mathjax for MathJax).
4. Add the additional datasets at the bottom of question-and-answer data set file (setDat-mc-tz-aes.js) as arrays.
5. One may opt to randomize the questions by using the sort() and compare function. See the examples given at the end of each data array already in setDat-mc-tz-aes.js.
