Quiz Night Game Engine
Details
The questions and answers are in a file. The file is provided as a command line argument to the application.
In the question and answer file each line has a question and its answer. The answers are always one word.
The question always ends in ‘?’ then there is a space and following that the answer. For example:
What is the capital of France? Paris
The application takes a second command line argument, a number <10 that represents the difficulty level.
The program should:
at the start
load the questions and answers from the file
print out the number of questions in the quiz
start asking questions
for each question, display a clue (if available, see below); the user has one attempt only, and the program is case insensitive (accepts both lower and upper case answers)
after each question display the number of questions asked and the number of correctly answered
questions so far. Example:
Score: 5/7
at the end store the results in a file quiz_history.txt by appending to the file one line containing:
name of the quiz file
number of questions answered correctly
total number of questions
difficulty level
Questions and clues
The following difficulty levels should be supported:
No clue is given and only a ‘?’ is shown. Example:
What is the capital of France?
A set of blank dashes separated by spaces is displayed, one for every letter in the answer. Example:
What is the capital of France?
A The first and the last letters are shown. Example:
What is the capital of France?
P - - - S
Two random letters from the answer are shown in their correct position. Example
What is the capital of France?
P - R - -
All letters are shown but in random order. Example:
What is the capital of France?
R S I P A
