Skill Forge Trivia

[karastoyanov]

As a registered user of Skill Forge, I want to participate in a daily trivia challenge that tests my knowledge of a specific programming language (Python, C#, Java, or JavaScript) and two additional common technology questions, so that I can assess and improve my skills while competing with others on the platform.

Details:

Feature Overview:

Once-per-day limitation: Users can access the trivia challenge once every day(the limitiation should be reset after 00:00) Time limit: Users have 30 minutes to complete the entire challenge.

Questions format:

• 13 questions will focus on the user's chosen programming language (Python, C#, Java, or JavaScript).
• 2 bonus questions will cover common technology topics (e.g., Git, databases, or general software engineering concepts).

Progress tracking: At the end of the challenge, users receive a score based on their answers, which is logged and displayed on their Skill Forge profile.

Acceptance Criteria:

• The trivia challenge will be implemented as a microservice separate from the core Skill Forge system as a Java application.
• Users can select one of the four available programming languages before starting the challenge.
• The challenge starts immediately after selection and users are shown 15 questions one at a time.
• Users cannot retake the trivia within the end of the day after completion.
• A countdown timer (30 minutes) will be displayed during the challenge. If the time runs out, the challenge ends automatically and the user DOES NOT receive any XP pints.
• A user's daily attempt, completion time, and score will be logged and accessible via their profile for future reference.
• Upon completion, users will see feedback on each question (correct/incorrect) and their overall score.

Technical Requirements:

A trivia microservice will handle the logic for:

• Randomly generating questions based on the selected programming language and common technology pool.
• Enforcing the once-per-day and 30-minute time constraints.
• Recording scores and progress.
• Managing user access to the trivia challenge through secure API calls integrated into the Skill Forge main platform.
• Questions and answers will be stored in a dedicated trivia database that supports querying based on the selected language and technology categories.
• Unique achievements for the Trivia challenge

Refactor: Separate questions storage from user data (MongoDB for questions, Postgres for users).

• Moved question storage logic to MongoDB and user activity to Postgres.
• Added custom exceptions for user request limits.
• Implemented business rules for managing daily user request limits.
• Merged commit b139974

master branch has been locked with a protection rule, meaning that any changes/commits to the branch would need a code-review process and at least 1 person to approve the changes before abe to merge the PR.

1. For any new feature/bugfix/enhancement create a new branch, as we discussed following the branch naming convention from Drakenfell
2. After the work is done, open a pull-request to master branch assigning at least one reviewer (@karastoyanov or @Borovaneca)
3. Following GH sources can be refered as a guidelines for code reviews Reviewing Code Changes 3rd party source
4. After the code review is Approved, the commits can be merged with the master branch.

Implement question update functionality, add logic to mark reported questions as resolved, and perform optimization and refactoring.
