Game Overview
● Questions are stored in a file. We will have to read it from
the file and store it in a dictionary.
● 2 points for the correct answer and -1 point for the wrong answer
● Max no. of questions asked:5
● Questions will be shuffled once and then asked
sequentially.
File Template (for the program)
Each question in the file is stored as <Question>: <Answer>
Here ‘:’ acts as a separator between question and answer.
Each line read from the file will be of string data type. ‘:’ helps in
separating the answer from the question.
Note: Make sure you add a ‘:’ between question and answer if
adding a question manually.
Algorithm
Now that you have seen how the quiz game works, Let's have look at the algorithm for the same.
1. Read the entire file
2. From each line read, get the question and answer
a. Add to dictionary
3. Print the rules of the game
4. Shuffle the questions
5. Get each question from the quiz dictionary
a. Ask the question
b. Get the answer
c. Compare user answer and correct answer
d. If correct
i. Increment score by2
ii. Else decrement score by 1
e. Print the score
f. If 5 questions asked
i. End the quiz
6. Print total score
Before developing the game, let us familiarize ourselves with the two methods
used in the code.
Example codes to understand these 2 methods.
You have your friend's name stored as a string separated by
commas. Print their names in separate lines.
Print the name of your friends 5 times after shuffling.
Note: Observe each time the order changes.
Now let us start with the quiz program.
Note: Make sure to create a text file as "riddles.txt" where you have questions and answer in the "<question>:<answer>" format
