 Introduction

❖ About Quiz Game:-

The Quiz Game is an interactive program designed to test and improve a player’s general
knowledge. In this game, the player is asked a series of multiple-choice questions
covering a variety of topics. Each question has four possible answers, and the player must
select the correct one to score points. This game encourages learning in a fun and
engaging way, challenging players to expand their knowledge base while competing for
high scores.

Players receive instant feedback on each answer, which helps reinforce learning and
enables them to track their progress. At the end of the game, players can view their scores
and compare them with previous high scores to see how well they performed.

The program saves high scores to track the top-performing players, motivating players to
improve and challenge themselves further.

Example:

1. Question: What is the capital of France?

a) Berlin
b) Madrid
c) Paris
d) Rome
Correct Answer: Paris

2. Question: Which planet is known as the Red Planet?

a) Earth
b) Mars
c) Venus
d) Jupiter
Correct Answer: Mars

The Quiz Game can be played multiple times, with questions randomly shuffled each
time for a unique experience. After each quiz session, the player's score is saved, and the
top scores are displayed. This feature encourages replayability and fosters a competitive
spirit among players.

 ❖ Python Overview:-

Python is a general-purpose high-level programming language. It is an open-source

language, released under a GPL-Compatible license. Python Software Foundation (PSF),
a non-profit organization, holds the copyright of Python. Guido Van Rossum conceived
Python in the late 1980s. It was released in 1991 at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica
(CWI) in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC language. He named this language
after a popular comedy show called “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” (and not after
Python - the snake). In the last few years, its popularity has increased immensely.
According to stackoverflow.com’s recent survey, python is in the top ten most popular
technologies in 2018. It is also dynamically typed because it carries out type-checking
at run time. It does so to make sure that the type of construct matches what we expect it
to be. The distinctive feature of Python is that it is an interpreted language. The Python
IDLE (Integrated Development & Learning Environment) executes instructions one line
at a time. The Python programming language is one of the richest languages.

❖ Features of Python:-

1. Easy:-
Python is very easy to learn and understand; using this Python tutorial, any beginner
can understand the basics of Python.

2. Interpreted:-
It is interpreted (executed) line by line. This makes it easy to test and debug.

3. Object Oriented:-
The Python programming language supports classes and objects.

4. Free and Open-Source:-

The language and its source code are available to the public for free; there is no need
to buy a costly license.

5. Portable:-
Since it is open source, we can run Python on Windows, Mac, Linux, or any other
platforms. Our programs will work without needing to the changed for every machine.

6. GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming:-

6
 We can use it to develop a GUI (Graphical User Interface). One way to do this is
through “Tkinter”.

7. Large Library:-
Python provides us with a large standard library. We can use it to implement a
variety of functions without reinventing the wheel every time. We just pick the code we
need and continue, allowing us to focus on other important tasks.

❖ Advantages of Python:-

1. Extensible:-
2. Portable
3. Free & Open-Source
4. Readable
5. Embeddable
6. Improved Productivity
7. Simple and Easy
8. Object Oriented
9. Interpreted
10. Extensive Libraries

❖ How to install Python:-

1. Point your web browser to the download page on the Python website
(www.python.org).
2. Select the latest Windows x86 MSI Installer and click the link todownload the
.msi installer.
3. Run the installer.
4. Select „Install for all users‟ and click the Next > button.
5. Keep the default option (C:\Python32\) as the destination directory andclick Next
> again.
6. Don't make any changes in the „Customize Python 3.2.3‟ dialog, justclick Next
> again.
7. Click Yes if asked if this program should be allowed to install softwareon your
system.
8. Click the Finish button when installation completes.

❖ About MySql:-

MySQL is a fast, easy-to-use RDBMS (Relational Database Management System)

used by many small and big businesses. MySQL AB, a Swedish company, developed,
marketed, and supported MySQL.

MySql is becoming so popular because of many good reasons:-

1. MySql is released under an open-source language. So we have nothingto pay
to use it.
2. MySql is a very powerful program in it‟s own right. It handles a large subset
of the functionality of the most expensive and powerful database packages.
3. MySql uses a standard form of the well-known SQL data language.
4. MySql works on many operating systems and with many languages including
PHP, PERL, C, C++, JAVA, etc.
5. MySql works very quickly and works well even with large data sets.
6. MySql is very friendly to PHP, the most appreciated language for web
development.
7. MySql supports large databases, up to 50 million rows or more in a table. The
default file size limit for a table is 4 GB, but we can increase this (if our
the operating system can handle) to a theoretical limit of 8 million Tera-Bytes
(TB).
8. MySQL is customizable. The open-source GPL license allows programmers to
modify the MySql software to fit their specific environments.

❖ For installing MySql:-

1. For Python 2.7 or lower, install using pip as:-

pip install MySQL.connector

2. For Python 3 or higher version, install using pip3 as:-

pip3 install mysql.connector

 Objective of the project
The objective of this project is to let the students apply the programming
knowledge of a real-world situation/problem and exposed the students to how
programming skills help in developing good software.

Some key points are as follows:-

1. Utilising modern software tools for programming games.

2. Apply object-oriented programming principles effectively when
developing small to medium-sized projects.
3. Write effective procedural code to solve small to medium-sized
problems.
4. Demonstrate a breadth of knowledge in computer science, as exemplified
in the area of game development.
5. Demonstrate ability to conduct research or applied computer science
projects, requiring writing and presentation skills that exemplify
scholarly style in computer science.

 Proposed System
Our project aims to create a Quiz Game in Python. This project showcases Python's
simplicity and versatility, with its easy-to-understand syntax, user-friendly interface, and
rapid development process.

Python’s interpreter and comprehensive standard library are open-source resources,

making it an ideal choice for building interactive games on various platforms. The
language's portability and extensive support community make it popular among
programmers, especially for educational and recreational projects like this one.

This project also demonstrates the use of data management techniques to store and retrieve
quiz questions and high scores. In earlier days, managing data involved extensive
paperwork, but modern software solutions like Python and MySQL have made this process
simpler and faster. With MySQL, we can efficiently store a database of quiz questions and
track high scores for each player, enabling players to save their achievements and view top
scores.

Using MySQL allows for reliable data handling and prevents the loss of information,
saving time and effort. The combination of Python and MySQL provides an efficient and
seamless experience in managing the game’s data.

This system design highlights the ease and flexibility of using Python and MySQL
together to create an engaging, data-driven Quiz Game.

 System Development Life Cycle(SDLC)
The System Development Life Cycle is used in the construction of the
serverappliance.

PLANNING ANALYSIS

SUPPORT DESIGN

IMPLEMENTATION

The system development life cycle is a project management technique that

divides complex projects into smaller, more easily managed segments or phases.
Segmenting projects allows managers to verify the successful completion of project
phases before allocating resources to subsequent phases.

Software development projects typically include planning, creating, developing,

testing, and maintenance. However, the phases may be divided differently depending on
the organization.

11
 The module used and their purposes.
1. The Random Module

This module implements pseudo-random number generators for various

distributions.

The random module has a set of methods used in that game.

a. random() :-
For integers, there is a uniform selection from a range.
For a sequence, there is a uniform selection of a random
element. The syntax for using this function
is, random. random()‟.
.
2. MySql.connector module:-

This module enables Python programs to access MySQL databases, using an

API that is compliant with the Python Database API Specification v2.0
(PEP 249). It is written in pure Python and does not have any dependencies
except for the Python Standard Library.

MySql.connector module has a set of methods in which one is used in that

game.

a. cursor ( ):-
A database cursor is a useful control structure for a database
connectivity. Normally when we connect to a database from within a
script/program, then the query gets sent to the server, where it gets
executed, and the set of records retrieved as per the query is sent over
to the connection.

The syntax for using this function is „conn. cursor ( )‟.

b. connect ( ):-
After we have installed the Python MySql connector, we can write
Python scripts using MySql.connector library that can connect to
MySql databases from within Python.
Next, we need to establish a connection to a MySql database using
the connect() function of mysql.connector package.

The connect() function of mysql.connector establishes a connection to

a MySql database and requires four parameters, which are :

12
 <connection-object>=mysql.connector.connect(
host=<host- name>,
user=<username>,
passwd=<password>
[,database=<database>])

- user is the username on MySql

- password is the password of the user
- host-name is the database server hostname or IP address
- database is optional which provides the database name of a MySql
database

The syntax for using this function is:- „mysql.connector.connect()‟.

c. execute ( ):-
This method is used to execute an SQL statement. Once we have
created a cursor, we can execute the SQL query using the execute()
function with the cursor object.

The syntax for using this method is „cursor. execute()‟.

For example,
If we want to view all the records of table data which is a table in the
database test to which we established a connection, we can execute SQL
query “select * from data” by writing:

‘cursor.execute(“select * from data”)’
