Something to perhaps think about... create a way to assign tags to icons
that provide grouping information. For instance a pencil might have:
Pencil:
writing, sticklike
Pen:
writing, sticklike
Crayon:
writing, sticklike
Marker:
writing, sticklike
Fork:
eating, sticklike
Then you can use a query to select a specific group (if you play "which
of these isn't like the others"). For instance:
likeType = SELECT name FROM tag_types order by rand() limit 1;
unlikeType = SELECT name FROM tag_types where name <> likeType order
by rand() limit 1;
Then we can pick group alike icons using (pseudocode queries ;)
SELECT icon FROM icons where HAS_TAG( likeType ) and NOT
HAS_TAG( unlikeType );
And finally:
SELECT icon from icons where HAS_TAG( unlikeType ) and NOT
HAS_TAG( likeType )
So now without actually manually creating questions we could generate
the following questions dynamically:
Which of the above items is not for writing?
Which of the above items is not like the others?
Which of the above items is for eating?
I cheated in the above, it would be nice to know if a tag is an
adjective or verb so that you can form the English properly :)
Anyways, just some thoughts.
Cheers,
Rob.
