✅ 200+ access code management system
✅ Exam settings (timer modes, anti-cheat, camera proctoring)
✅ Detailed results review with manual grading
✅ Profile management with photo upload
✅ Export results/codes to CSV
✅ Real-time Firebase synchronization
2. Student Exam Interface
Key Features:
✅ Secure one-time access code validation
✅ 5 question types with dynamic rendering
✅ Dual timer system (per-question / full exam)
✅ Advanced anti-cheat (tab detection, devtools blocking, fullscreen enforcement)
✅ Camera proctoring with periodic snapshots
✅ Animated progress tracking
✅ Auto-submit on timeout
✅ Violation detection with instant termination
✅ Smooth fade animations between screens
Implementation:
Phase 1: Firebase Setup
Initialize Realtime Database with data structure (admins, questions, results, codes, settings)
Real-time listeners for live updates
Async data loading with error handling
Phase 2: Admin Dashboard
Login authentication system
Dynamic question form based on type
Image upload with base64 encoding (5MB limit)
Statistics calculation with animated counters
Results table with sortable columns
Manual score adjustment modal
CSV export functionality
Phase 3: Student Interface
Access code validation & marking as used
Progressive question display with timers
Question type rendering (radio, textarea, dropdown)
Answer auto-save on selection/timeout
Camera permission & snapshot capture (JPEG compressed)
Phase 4: Anti-Cheat System
javascriptDetections:
- Tab switching (visibilitychange)
- Window blur/focus loss
- Screen resize/split detection
- DevTools detection (window size differential)
- Keyboard blocking (F12, Ctrl+C/V/X/A/P/S/U)
- Right-click & copy/paste prevention
```
**Phase 5: Results Processing**
- Score calculation
- Answer history storage
- Violation logging
- Snapshot upload to Firebase
- Completion screen display

**Frontend:** HTML5 • CSS3 (Animations, Grid, Flexbox) • JavaScript ES6+
**Backend:** Firebase Realtime Database • Firebase SDK v10.7.1
**Security:** One-time codes • Camera proctoring • Anti-cheat detection
**Data Structure:**
```
Firebase:
├── admins/ (name, username, password, role, photo)
├── questions/ (type, text, choices, timeout, image)
├── results/ (score, answers, violations, snapshots)
├── accessCodes/ (used, usedBy, usedAt)
├── examSettings/ (timer, antiCheat, camera)
└── quizState/ (isActive)
Key Features:
? Real-time Sync - Live updates across all sessions
? Dual Timer Modes - Per-question OR full exam
? Smart Matching - Randomized options

Workflow:
Admin: Login → Create questions → Configure settings → Generate codes → Open exam → Monitor results → Review answers → Export data
Student: Enter code → Camera permission → Answer questions → Timer countdown → Auto-submit → Results uploaded
Deliverables:
✅ 2 HTML files (Admin + Student)
✅ Firebase real-time integration
✅ 5 question types with dynamic forms
✅ Anti-cheat mechanism
✅ Camera proctoring system
✅ Results export (CSV)
✅ Responsive design
✅ Production-ready code
