- Quiz game in Python -

 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

- Animating characters using pygame -

If you see closely you can see that the mickey mouse animation is made out of a lot of shapes.  But to create something like this we need to make a very complex code. The other way around it is to use an image, other than the basic shapes, pygame also can show images.  Using images :  Steps to use images in my game: > find the image you want to use  > move it to the directory where you have created your code  > import/load image  To load the image we will first create an object and then use the image. load method to add the image to the object.  here, we have created an object called an image.  We then use the "pygame.image.load" to find the file in the directory ocean.png has to be replaced with the filename of your file.  To place the object on a particular point of the screen we use the blit function.  this function means that we are going to add the image onto the screen at position 0,0 mickey mouse is winking  Using text: We can also add text to the pygame, to a

- Functions in Python -

  Function-  ● A function is a named block of code designed to perform a specific task.  ● It takes in some input (optional), processes it, and gives us some output. (optional)  ● A function once defined, can be called many times. eg: function to draw a square, function to calculate average, etc. A function has 2 parts - function definition and function call.  Have you ever used a soft drink vending machine?  You give it some input (the drink you want, money ) and it does some processing inside(checks the amount, checks availability) and gives you the output(the soft drink).  Here, you are not bothered about, how the machine works or from where it gets the soft drink. right? You just give the input and you get the required output. isn’t it?  Functions in programming also behave in a similar way. Function definition: Set of instructions that form the function.  Syntax  def  <function name>(<parameter>):        <statement 1>         <statement 2>        --------
