Question
- You are going to work to modify the Trivia Challenge game. You will need to modify the game so that each question has a unique point value associated with it. The player's score should be the total of all the point values answered correctly. You will also transform the high score system so that it maintains the scores list in a file.
- The assignment should begin with the Trivia Challenge game from the textbook. You should have this working prior to attempting to modify for the instructions in the assignment. You are encouraged to download the working code from the course documents folder to compare to your efforts to build the code in the book.
- Your submission MUST have variable points for each question, and they should be in the .txt file that the questions are located within. Think about scalability – in other words if we wanted to expand this game to 20 questions, all that you should have to alter is the .txt file that the questions are located in.
- Your other challenge is to maintain a high score list and that MUST read and write to a file. I suggested in another announcement/email that it was probably easier to write that high scores to another text or data file. If you do so, that file MUST be included in your submission.
*Below are the two files need for this assignment*
