This quiz is not what you think it is.

Ah, I had a feeling what this would be as soon as I saw the thread title. I love that quiz.
(Maybeā¦ the real IF authoring system was the quizzes u made along the way.)

(It was actually kinda interesting to consider this through the lens of some of the recent-ish conversations about agency and engagement in choice-based gamesā¦)

Pink, yay!
The result for pink.
You are all that is soft and sweet. You are the sugar in cookies and the petals on roses. You are wings on bugs and feathers on birds. You are the fur on plush toys and the love that lives in them. You are frosting on cake and wrapping on gifts. You are hope and light. You are pink, you are perfect. please visit meĢµ aĢ·gĢøaĢµiĢ·nĢ·.

You are all that is hot and passionate. You are love and hate. You are the heart that beats and the blood that pumps it. You are beauty and destruction. You are red, you are perfect. please visit meĢµ aĢ·gĢøaĢµiĢ·nĢ·.

I want to take this quiz, but whoever put it together deserves to be slapped with a fish for only having one question per page and for not using radio buttons so its easy to select answers and so one can tell that their option has been selected. Giving them an F for web design is too generous.

Oh dang, I didnāt realize those werenāt stylized radio buttons. Thatās a yikes design decision. Also the one question per page thing was driving me a bit crazy.
The answer choices arenāt even JavaScript clickables(which I still consider bad design since no one ever configures them to work properly with keyboards, but I can at least be sure Iām activating one of those even if it requires more work than a properly formatted radio button)), but instead formatted in a way that makes them appear as ordinary text to my screen reader and thereās no feedback whatsoever when I perform a virtual mouse click on them. Someone needs their touchscreen and mouse privileges revoked.
And the annoying part is that a plain jane HTML form works well with pretty much any modern GUI screen reader and itās the fancy, not standard HTML form stuff that breaks accessibility. In other words, just sticking to the KISS principle would go a long way towards fixing web accessibility issuesā¦ at least the ones I tend to run into.
And yay, Iām not alone in thinking one question per page is ridiculous. Though I could live with that if I could be sure an answer has been selected and its the one I wanted selected.

Ugh, that sounds very annoying! FWIW the one-question-per-page thing is integral to how the piece functions, and I think the web design issues are the fault of the site designer, since itās a site that allows people people to make their own quizzes, and not sure the person who designed this particular thing had any control over the functionality, but still sucks that itās not accessible.

We can certainly go up the chain and place blame on whoever designed the build process that these quiz writers must use.
Iāve been learning a lot about accessibility and screen readers while making IF-Octane, and once I learned this, I keep noticing it, and now Iām endlessly frustrated every time I find a web dev tutorial that uses really weird and non-standard stuff to design interactive elements. 
We donāt need to reinvent the wheel for basic interactive elements. The foundation stuff is right there and can be styled to maintain accessibility.

Well, turns out things arenāt as bad as I initially thoughtā¦ tried viewing the quiz with Firefoxās page style setting set to no style(which disables css on the active tab, great for pages that have collapsible/hidden text that canāt be revealed accessibly)ā¦ And it turns out their are radio buttons, theyāre just hidden with the default page styleā¦ Sadly, Question 11 doesnāt seem to load correctly, the question itself seeming to be cut off halfway and the answers all being blank, and if I just select one and move on, question 12 doesnāt seem to load at allā¦ and Refreshing the page takes me back to the beginningā¦ and redoing questions 1-10 lead to the same broken question 11.

Got to question 55 and then decided to restart in Firefox so I can have uBlock Origin on my sideā¦ It feels a lot nicer not being constantly jostled by ads loading and bumping the content up and down and to the left.
But then it seems like I canāt get past question 33.
Weirdly, I feel like this has been a nice simulation of what it must be like for the average user to try and play a .gblorb or whatever.

Quiz seems broken now. I get to 11 and it stops giving text for the questions and the answers, just a few blank radio buttons and a ānextā button. You can continue, but not knowing what your answer was or for what question it is to. So, kind of pointless. This was on Chrome, presumably latest version, Windows 11.
