Quiz Game with High Scores

Build a quiz game that loads questions from a file, asks them in random order, keeps score with time bonuses, and stores a high-score table — with unit tests for the scoring rules.

Milestones

Build the smallest working version first. Ticks are saved in this browser only.

01Store questions (text, options, answer, category) in a JSON file and load them into Question objects.
02Ask ten random questions, check answers and show the score.
03Add a Player class and a high-score table saved to a file, keeping the top five.
04Give multiple-choice and true/false questions their own subclasses with a shared check() method.
05Write unittest tests for scoring, loading and the high-score table.

Stretch goals

Add difficulty levels that choose questions by category or score.
Download questions once from the Open Trivia Database and cache them in your file.
Make a two-player mode that alternates turns.

Data

Write 20–30 questions yourself, or fetch some from the Open Trivia Database and save them to your JSON file (the game itself should not need the network).
