I am a pharmacist but a little surprised I got that many because (as mentioned) even reading quickly there was not always time to read all of the question and answers. Many of them I quickly guessed based on "keywords" I spotted in the Q/A. It would help a lot if the entire question were printed first (like the chemical structure was), and then the timer and answers were given. It would also be interesting to see which ones I got right/wrong. But I can go through it again.
Also, I'm confused about the second question.
In America, "crack" refers to cocaine and "ice" refers to crystal meth, but neither of those were among the options. You mentioned not being a native English speaker, so maybe it's different in your country. Since slang can vary like that, a different question would be better. Also, "heroin" is not spelled with an e at the end.
Going through it again a few times...
The questions I initially got wrong were the insulin receptor (I know, it's in the screenshot, but I didn't read it or look it up because I wanted to take the quiz -- I think I knew the right answer at some point during school but had long forgotten =), the street drug one (ambiguous), and the Arrhenius Equation (it's been way too long). I did not have time to read the whole pKa question; I saw the numbers were the same and choose the first answer I saw with "50%" in it. Reactivity I knew, but it felt like a guess because of the time limit. Coffee I knew as soon as I saw the word "coffee." The acid-base indicator was a lucky guess on my part -- I didn't remember the name of it. I didn't have time to read the chemical structure hint, nor did I read all the answers, but I saw the word NSAID and answered based on that and the propyl group. (It's not a structure I remembered off the top of my head.) Gram negative bacteria, I didn't even read the answers; I spotted the right one right away and choose it. The last one I did have time to read and think about; it was an educated guess that I was pretty confident about.
Having the timer there was useful -- a good UI choice. The 80s style music in the beginning is kind of funny.
Uwaaaaaahh, thank you for playing >.< Now I feel embarassed after I left this game for ages (I feel so silly about the concept, yet I want to create similar gameplay on the future). Maybe, maybe on the next semester...
college is killing me orz
And it's a pleasure to meet pharmacist fellow on this forum ! I'm so flattered because you must be a professional practicioner (and software developer ?! That's so COOL ! I want to be like you on the future too lol) and I'm just too-naive-and-hopeless-2nd year pharmacist student-when I made this game.
Your wild guess(es) are...interesting
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
. And it's very smart of you to get 75 on your first playthrough (most of my friends got under 50 on their first playthrough haha)
I agree with the time limit, it's feels so short with just 10 seconds (I've received many complaints from my friends too
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
) so I'll take that into consideration for my future works
Now, about the question(s)...
Yes, I'm not a native speaker of English and until this point you might suspect grammatical errors or weird vocab on my sentences orz .
Based on my knowledge (and I thought my teacher said the same thing), ice/crack = MDMA = ecstasy.
Maybe it's different on my country after all. Next time I should crosscheck about the ambigous slang like this, or I'll just refrain from asking it to avoid confusion.
I'm very impressed you still remember the facts from old school days. All this knowledge are kinda...useless on real job I guess ? From my point of view, pharmacist is always deals with drugs, prescriptions, compounding, dispensing, pharmaceutical care and that related-stuff. More importantly, from what I've heard pharmacist on America is very clinical/hospital-oriented, so I guess it's just natural for you if you've forgotten most of the unrelated-drugs knowledges. Again, very good job on catching the keywords !
Thank you for the useful feedbacks so far
