  • Add a temporary Text object to the layout, print NWjs.UserFolder to it. See what path it returns. Maybe you don't need to append "\Documents\DinoSystem" to it.

    Then try executing explorer.exe from CMD with that path.

  • That was just an example.

    Anyway, for exporting to CSV you need to compose a multi-line string where each question ends with a newline. There should be a comma between each value in the line.

    Example: 

    question1,No,timestamp
question2,Did Not Understand Right to....,timestamp
question3,Yes,timestamp

  • I would move all logic to instance variables on the Button sprite. (a single button for Yes and No answers)

    Configure these variables on each button for all questions.

    So when a button is clicked, you can compare its variables and know if the answer was correct or not, what to add to the CSV file and what to do next. This way you will only need one handling event for all questions in the quiz.

  • See the Date plugin, there are different ways you can format the timestamp string.

  • Hmmm. So take out the array values through the whole thing? I've got a lot of

    This is not how quiz apps should be programmed. Even if there are hundreds of questions in the game, ideally you should have just one "On AnswerButton clicked" event.

    Use instance variables on the buttons to identify questions and answers.

  • I have a one dimensional array of data, but when the csv downloads, it's just a bunch of 0's instead of the text I set to be added to the array.

    Run the project in Debug Mode (Shift+F4) and check the contents of your array.

    Your event #16 on the screenshot runs on every tick, which is wrong. You need to move it as a sub-event to #17.

    And the MIME type needs to be "text/plain" or "text/text", not "s".

    But with 1D array you won't be able to send timestamps. I suggest using 2D array, or add question+answer+timestamp+newline to the string variable on every answer.

  • You can do this without arrays, just add each question+answer to the string variable as the player answers them. Use Date plugin to get the current date and time.

    For example:

    On leftclick of YesSprite: Set exportString to (exportString & questionNumber & "," & questionText & ",Yes," & Date.ToString(Date.Now) & newline)

  • Try Construct 3

  • You'll first need to store this data (questions and answers) somewhere, for example in an array.

    Here is an example how to export an array to csv:

    dropbox.com/s/sy2b1okfk9hymsu/ExportToCSV.c3p

  • You might need to experiment, perhaps it requires double quotes:

    "explorer.exe """ & NWjs.UserFolder & "\Documents\DinoSystem\"""

  • You can try NWJS Run File action with this path:

    "explorer.exe " & NWjs.UserFolder & "\Documents\DinoSystem\"

  • What do you mean by "open a folder"? Show "Open file" dialogue? Or launch Windows Explorer? Or display the list of files from this folder inside your Construct app?

  • What do you mean? You can show "Select folder" or "Select file" dialogue using NWJS actions, check out the documentation:
