Quiz: Feedback

Part of the Projects section of Coddy's Flutter journey. Lesson 14 of 36.

Colors tell you right or wrong. A short line in words is clearer, and on a wrong answer it can name the right one: "Correct!" or "The answer is Column".

Show it together with the Next button, once you have answered. A collection if can add several widgets at once with the spread ...[ ]: everything in that list appears only when the condition holds.

if (_answered) ...[
  Text(_picked == question.correct ? 'Correct!' : 'The answer is ...'),
  if (!_isLast) FilledButton(...),
],

The right answer's text is question.answers[question.correct]: the list of answers, at the right answer's position. Using _picked there would name the answer you tapped instead.

Challenge

Medium

Say how it went:

once you have answered, show 12 pixels of space and a line under the answers: Correct! for a right answer, The answer is and the right answer for a wrong one
center it and use the theme's titleMedium
then 16 pixels of space and the Next button, still only when the question is not the last
