The quiz is saved to current_quiz.json in the config folder after every
change, and the game goes on where it was when it starts again: the
players with their points and characters, every song with who got a point
for it and whether it was played, answered or is playing, and the songs
downloaded ahead with their files. The song that was playing is ready to
play again. Songs whose files are gone are downloaded again.
On a server, the saved songs are checked against the server's playlist. If
it changed, e.g. after a sync, or another server is used, the quiz starts
over with the same players. A quiz from a music folder continues offline,
including how far a prepared quiz has come. A new game is saved like any
other change, and a file that can't be read starts a new quiz.
Characters can be read from a folder picked in Settings instead of the
server, for this session. A music folder with a characters folder brings
its own characters, e.g. for a themed quiz; that folder is not counted as
a soundtrack. When the characters come from somewhere else, players pick
their characters again.

The bar is rounded and a little taller, with a round orange play button
and a restart button that lights up orange under the mouse. The icons sit
inside their buttons with room around them, and are one colour, cropped to
their shape. Progress fills in orange, the volume slider gets a speaker
icon, and the buttons say their shortcut keys in their tooltips.
Buttons grow a little under the mouse and shrink while held down, and the
play button pops when it switches between play and pause. ButtonBounce
holds these animations so other buttons can use them too.
Settings has a Music folder row. A folder with subfolders is played as
soundtracks: Next picks a random subfolder and a random song in it, the
subfolder is the answer's soundtrack and the file name without its type the
song. The inspiration list and Search show the subfolders.
A folder with songs and no subfolders is a prepared quiz, played once in order
(natural sort) or at random, showing only the song title. It has no winning
score: after the last song Next becomes Show winner, and the players with the
most points win, ties included.
While a folder is used nothing but the characters is asked from the server:
Sync, QR, Statistics, the update check and play counting are off. Characters
fall back to the cached pictures when the server can't be reached. mp3, ogg and
wav play; other files and broken ones are skipped.
The old local playback code, the hidden Open button and the hidden Local toggle
are removed. Next now waits for the song to start before preparing the next one.
- A Quiz settings button under the player bar opens a small card above
it with the quiz settings, including Auto repeat, which moves there
from under the player bar. The card does not dim the quiz, so it can
be changed during a song, and grows to fit its rows.
- A Settings button in the top bar opens the application settings:
server, fullscreen and songs to download ahead. Quick sync is gone,
as the server no longer has it, and the server list is in Settings.
- Labels use sentence case, and seconds to hide show as whole numbers.
- Debug builds switch to the local server and a low winning score in
the Settings autoload, before any scene asks the server for anything.
The DEBUG label moves to the top bar, so it shows on every tab.
- Search moves from the top bar back to the quiz toolbar, as the
Statistics tab has its own search.
