Quiz Game Project Using C Language

Introduction

This is a comprehensive and error-free Quiz Game Mini Project in C that is meant to run on a console. In this project, the user is asked a series of questions and is offered a monetary reward for each accurate response. In a quiz game, the questions are selected to encompass all aspects of a traditional quiz competition. Quizzes on science, technology, movies, sports, general health, geography, and other topics put the user's general knowledge to the test.

Explanation

We've broken this little project into many functions, and we've highlighted a few of them below to help you understand it better.

• edit_score() – adds the current cash prize won to the previous one upon giving the right answer to a question
• help() – help menu with game summary and rules
• reset_score() – to reset the highest score/cash prize to default
• show_record() – shows the highest cash prize won by a particular user
• show_score() – to view the highest score

You may save a user's name, examine their highest score, and even reset their score in this quiz game mini project. Additionally, the game is separated into two rounds to make it more engaging; the player must pass the first round before moving on to the second.

The first of the two rounds I described is known as the Warm-up Round, and the second is known as the Challenge Round. The user is offered three straightforward questions in the warm-up round, and they must successfully answer at least two of them to advance to the following round. If the user is unable of doing so, he will not be allowed to continue.

The user will be asked questions incessantly in the second and more fascinating round of this quiz game in C, and for each correct answer supplied, they will be awarded $100,000!

When the user's monetary award reaches $1 million, the game is over. There are four alternatives for each question: A, B, C, and D. Because there are no negative indications, the user's accrued cash money will not be removed for incorrect responses.

Output

Final Words

We didn't utilize file management for reading and storing the Quiz questions given throughout the game in my C quiz game little project. I've simply utilized the file to keep track of the players' scores and the amount of money they've earned.

Although it may seem that not utilizing file handling in C for reading and saving questions is a terrible idea, this short project will show you how to make comparable Quiz games using file handling for the aforementioned tasks.
