Something to perhaps think about... create a way to assign tags to icons that provide grouping information. For instance a pencil might have: Pencil: writing, sticklike Pen: writing, sticklike Crayon: writing, sticklike Marker: writing, sticklike Fork: eating, sticklike Then you can use a query to select a specific group (if you play "which of these isn't like the others"). For instance: likeType = SELECT name FROM tag_types order by rand() limit 1; unlikeType = SELECT name FROM tag_types where name <> likeType order by rand() limit 1; Then we can pick group alike icons using (pseudocode queries ;) SELECT icon FROM icons where HAS_TAG( likeType ) and NOT HAS_TAG( unlikeType ); And finally: SELECT icon from icons where HAS_TAG( unlikeType ) and NOT HAS_TAG( likeType ) So now without actually manually creating questions we could generate the following questions dynamically: Which of the above items is not for writing? Which of the above items is not like the others? Which of the above items is for eating? I cheated in the above, it would be nice to know if a tag is an adjective or verb so that you can form the English properly :) Anyways, just some thoughts.
