Custom Javascript Games with performance stored as variable

I would like to have participants attempt to solve several "Euler Diagram" puzzles in Qualtrics. See an example here: https://www.transum.org/Maths/Activity/without/

I have experience in Javascript/Jquery, but don't know the limitations of Qualtrics, and was hoping to get some advice before embarking. Is it possible to re-create this game as a Qualtrics question, and store variables in the backend like (total amount of time until completion, total number of attempts, perhaps even a list or array of all the moves played in sequence). What is the best strategy for going about this?

Thanks!

Yes, it is possible. The only limitation is that you can't dynamically create new fields you want to store in the response data inside a question. The question fields must be part of the question as defined in Qualtrics and embedded variables must be included in the survey flow.

I would just use a text entry form question with a field for each item you want to capture (and hide them with JS).

Hi there,
I realize this is a relatively older discussion.
I am a technical (maybe not-so-technical) support staff in the Department. One of the students we have is looking for something similar to this for her project and I am helping out to look for some existing examples.
Is there any place I can find some examples please?
Thank you.
