Go Quiz Game

This is a command-line quiz game written in Go. The game reads questions from a CSV file, asks each question to the player, and tracks their score based on correct answers. The game includes a timer that limits the duration of the quiz, and an option to shuffle the questions for a fresh experience each time.

How to Play

• Clone or download this repository.
• Build the Go application:

go build -o quiz

• Run the quiz game from the command line:

./quiz

By default, the quiz will read questions from problems.csv, and you'll have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.

Features

1. CSV-based Questions: The game reads questions and answers from a CSV file. Each row in the CSV file should contain a question in the first column and the answer in the second column, e.g.:

2. Timed Quiz: The quiz is time-limited. You can set a custom time limit using the -timer flag.
3. Shuffle Option: Randomly shuffle the order of questions with the -shuffle flag.

-filename: Specify a custom CSV file with questions. If not provided, it defaults to problems.csv.

-timer: Set a custom time limit (in seconds) for the quiz. The default is 30 seconds.
