| 3 | +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. |

| 5 | +## How to Play |
| 6 | +- Clone or download this repository. |
| 7 | +- Build the Go application: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +```bash |
| 10 | +go build -o quiz |
| 11 | +``` |
| 12 | +- Run the quiz game from the command line: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +```bash |
| 15 | +./quiz |
| 16 | +``` |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +By default, the quiz will read questions from problems.csv, and you'll have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +## Features |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +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.: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +```csv |
| 25 | +What is the capital of France?,Paris |
| 26 | +5+7,12 |
| 27 | +``` |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +2. **Timed Quiz**: The quiz is time-limited. You can set a custom time limit using the -timer flag. |
| 30 | +3. **Shuffle Option**: Randomly shuffle the order of questions with the -shuffle flag. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +## Flags |
| 33 | +The game has a few command-line flags that allow you to customize the experience: |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +**-filename**: Specify a custom CSV file with questions. If not provided, it defaults to problems.csv. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +```bash |
| 38 | +./quiz -filename=science.csv |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +**-timer**: Set a custom time limit (in seconds) for the quiz. The default is 30 seconds. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +```bash |
| 44 | +./quiz -timer=60 |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +**-shuffle**: Shuffle the order of questions. This flag does not require any additional input; it just needs to be added to the command. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +```bash |
| 50 | +./quiz -shuffle |
| 51 | +``` |
