Simple Quiz Game. This project is a fantastic way to learn how to work with lists of dictionaries to create a structured game, and it reinforces concepts like loops and conditional logic to keep score.
First, here is the explanation of how the project is built.
How the "Simple Quiz Game" is Made
The Core Idea: The goal is to create a program that presents the user with a series of questions, checks their answers, and calculates a final score. This is a classic programming exercise that demonstrates how to manage a collection of data.
The Data Structure: A List of Dictionaries: The best way to store the quiz questions and answers is in a list, where each item in the list is a dictionary. Each dictionary will represent a single question and will have two key-value pairs: a 'question' key holding the question text, and an 'answer' key holding the correct answer. This structure is clean, scalable, and easy to read.
The Game Loop: The main engine of the quiz is a for loop. This loop will iterate through our list of question dictionaries one by one. For each question in the list, the loop will execute the logic to ask the user and check their answer.
Asking Questions and Checking Answers: Inside the loop, for each question dictionary, we will:
Display the question text to the user using the 'question' key.
Use the input() function to get the user's answer.
To make the check case-insensitive (so "Paris" and "paris" are treated the same), we convert the user's input to lowercase using the .lower() method.
Use an if statement to compare the user's lowercase answer with the correct answer from our dictionary (which we'll also treat as lowercase).
Keeping Score: Before the loop starts, we initialize a variable, score, to 0. Inside the loop, if the user's answer is correct, we print a "Correct!" message and increment the score by one (score += 1). If the answer is wrong, we print a "Wrong!" message and show them the correct answer.
Displaying the Final Result: After the for loop has finished going through all the questions, the program will proceed to the code that follows. Here, we'll print a final message that shows the user how many questions they got right out of the total number of questions, displaying their final score.
