Content planning...

I'm planning to include about 230-250 DP song sound clips into the first version of the quiz. Basically this would mean short 5-10 second sound samples of virtually all of the studio material and some live material of Deep Purple. Currently in the plans are the following albums:

  • Shades Of Deep Purple
  • The Book Of Taliesyn
  • Deep Purple
  • In Rock
  • Fireball
  • Machine Head
  • Who Do We Think We Are
  • Burn
  • Stormbringer
  • Come Taste The Band
  • Perfect Strangers
  • The House Of The Blue Light
  • Slaves & Masters
  • The Battle Rages On
  • Purpendicular
  • Abandon
  • Bananas
  • Rapture Of The Deep
  • Made In Japan
  • Nobody's Perfect
  • Total Abandon - Live In Australia '99
  • Live At The Olympia '96

There will probably be also a possibility to select different "game modes", based on the difficulty of the questions and combination of selected albums. While the main game mode would contain all of the material with both all the basic and all the trivia questions, there could be alternative modes with e.g. just "Morse Era" or "Mk II" modes that would ask questions only related to the music released by these certain line-ups of the band. Also, some "easier" mode could be added for the new fans, that would feature only relatively well-known songs with just basic questions.

However, the main game mode would still remain as the most important, and it would be the only mode to have a global online highscore list, which will contain all the DP-fans' quiz results worldwide, updated in real time. With the online highscore list, it's possible to play the game with friends, with other fans and compare the scores.
