Initially, I was going to make a quiz game for my NEA. However, upon completing the first draft for my project analysis it occurred to me that making a quiz game may not be the best idea as I didn't find myself implementing many 'A-Level standard' ideas. instead, I would like to make a Rubik's cube solving and scrambling application to solve and / or scramble 2x2x2 cubes and 3x3x3 cubes (and potentially 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 if time allowed me to). Is it too late to change my idea or should I stick with the quiz game? The language I plan to write this in is Python, as that is the language my school prefer, and is the language I am most comfortable with. Has anybody done their NEA on a similar idea, and / or have any ideas or ways in which I can make either a quiz game which is of A-Level standard, or a Rubik's cube solver-scrambler. I am hoping to get at the very least a B on this coursework, hence I am a bit iffy on the quiz game. Sorry for the ramble, I just needed to get all my thoughts out. Any advice is appreciated!

I'm sure there are plenty of ways you can add complexity to the quiz to meet the complexity requirements for A-Level. For example
- Build the quiz app as a Web Application using the Python Flask framework: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post...-i-hello-world
- Build some OO structures into the app - e.g. use the Repository pattern for database logic classes, or create a set of classes for input validation.
- Create a non-trivial relational database to store your questions, quizzes, categories, users, their attempts/answers, groups of users, etc.
- Introduce an authentication (identity) system with security features - e.g. password complexity, password reset, automatic lockout/retries,
- Add authorisation (permissions) depending on a user's role - e.g. student-vs-teacher-vs-administrator. (e.g. administrator to create/manage/delete users or create/manage/delete quizzes/questions, teacher able to view stats for their class or year, control access to different questions, etc.)
- Create some non-trivial database queries which involve Joining tables together - e.g. generate statistics for individual students, classes, year groups, etc. list the questions in-order by most right/wrong answers, number of attempts per-student, calculate grades, show a 'scoreboard', feedback report, etc. Reports/graphs could perhaps be downloadable or viewable on a page/screen in a graph/chart.
- Consider writing some 'hand-rolled' algorithms - e.g. encryption/hashing for password security, or writing some code to do some statistical analysis on your users' quiz answers.
