Changing game mechanics for quiz module

[kingd12]

Hi all,

I have installed the quiz module which functions like a basic multiple choice quiz game. However, I would like to make some changes to the game mechanics to make it more challenging and fun.

So far the module just shows a question, 4 choices, and checks the answer on submit. I want to add things like:

A timer for each question
Lives system, players lose a life on incorrect answer
Difficulty levels with different point values
Hints players can use
Bonus questions for extra points
However, I'm not sure where to start making these changes to the existing module code. Can anyone provide some guidance for how to edit the game mechanics and which files I should modify? Any tips for implementing things like a timer, lives system, scoring, and difficulties would be very helpful.

I have the following module files:

quiz.php (core logic)
quiz.inc.php (model)
quiz.hooks.php
quiz.tpl.php (templates)
quiz.styles.css
module.json
Any help getting me started would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if you need any additional details or code examples.

Thanks in advance!
