How do I create a custom view on a specific node

Hello I am the process of converting from a Mambo site to a Drupal site. On my mambo site I have a trivia module that was just a hack of a guest book module.

Currently, I am using flexinode to create a custom "trivia" node type where the user enters a question and an answer. I then want to display the questions in a table and have a like "show answer" that when clicked the answer appears. On my current site it is a bit of javascript that displays the answer, because I don't want to refresh the entire page for each of the answers.

I am getting familar with the "drupal way" but do not know the best way to handle this.

1. Create my own php page/db connection and just include it in a standard page (know how to do this but should be a better way, more "drupalishious")
2. Use the view api to get the information (??? not sure how to do this, need an example)
3. Use the view module (I don't see anywhere to add a bit of javascript)
4. Something else........................

You can see the current trivia module here: http://www.dailygeneva.com/index.php/component/option,com_akobook/Itemid...

Thanks in advance.

p.s. I am creating this site from scratch should I use 4.6 (currently using) or use the 4.7 version of drupal?
