Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Your final project will be to create a quiz game similar to “Who Wants to be
a Millionaire?”
Requirements:
• Your game will include 5 questions.
• You will ask the user multiple choice questions (in increasing difficulty
if possible).
• Each question, if answered correctly, will have a point value attached to
it. The point values should be as follows: 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000.
• Unlike the game on T.V., the score will be an accumulation of the points
earned throughout the game and the user may continue if he/she answers
incorrectly.
Show the user’s point total after each question.
• At the end of the game, the user should be given the option to play again
if he/she chooses.
• Include a text file called “highscore.txt” that stores the highest
scoring player’s first name and score.
Update the text file if the user scores the highest score.
• Include at least three functions in your program.
Input Validation: The user must choose valid options from menus.
