Quiz Engine

enum QuestionType { multipleChoice, fillInBlank, coding }

class QuizQuestion {
  final String question;
  final QuestionType type;
  final List options; // for multiple choice
  final String correctAnswer;

  QuizQuestion({required this.question, required this.type,
    this.options = const [], required this.correctAnswer});
}

class QuizWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  final List questions;
  const QuizWidget({super.key, required this.questions});
  @override State createState() => _QuizWidgetState();
}

class _QuizWidgetState extends State {
  int _current = 0;
  int _score = 0;
  String? _selectedAnswer;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final q = widget.questions[_current];

    return Column(
      crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
      children: [
        LinearProgressIndicator(
          value: (_current + 1) / widget.questions.length,

          padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16),

UI & UX Suggestions

Use a blue primary, green for completed, orange for in-progress, certificate gold colour palette to match the app's purpose. Keep the navigation simple — a bottom nav bar or a single-scroll layout works best for this type of app. Make sure every interaction provides haptic or visual feedback so the app feels responsive and polished.
