Quiz-o-matic is a Windows application that lets you use mice connected to the computer as buzzers. Upto 10 teams can click registered mice to show up on the screen, in order. As of version 1.1, the application also supports DIY buzzers.

Quiz-o-matic is a portable application that does not require a setup. The only prerequisite is a Windows operating system with a .NET runtime > 4.5.2 (sorry Mac/Linux folks, it needs a Windows-only library to distinguish multiple mice). To run the program,

1. Download the latest .zip file from the Releases tab.
2. Extract the zip. Double-click Quiz-o-matic 9000.exe to launch the program.

This is the window that shows up when you start the application. On the main screen, you can:

• Add, name, colour and remove teams
• Assign mice to teams
• Register custom wireless buzzers that communicate over websockets
• Set a master mouse. During the game, a right click on only this mouse will reset the game screen. This feature was added so that the quizmaster can refresh the screen from the keyboard

To register the buzzers described here, press and hold the button until a new row shows up on the game screen. This should take about 2 seconds. After writing a team name and selecting a colour, press the Confirm button to lock that team's name and colour.

When you're done, click the Start button to go to the game screen.

The first team to click their mouse will show up on a rectangle with their name and colour at the top of the screen. Teams that buzz afterwards will be shown below, fastest nearer the top. In the gif above, 'You're a quizzard, Harry' buzzed first. Further clicks from the same device will have no effect until the screen is reset. To reset all teams from the screen, press R on your keyboard, or right-click on the master mouse. Since the Multipoint library Microsoft provides does not support clicking on the window close button (yep, seriosuly), press Esc to quit the program. All keys used in the application are tabled below.

Wireless mice have a noticeably higher latency when further away from the computer - mice that are clicked later but are closer to the computer might show up on the screen first.
