💡 Version 1 – Console-Based Quiz App

✅ Python Code:

import random

# 🎯 Sample Question Bank
quiz_data = [
    {
        "question": "What is the capital of France?",
        "options": ["Paris", "London", "Berlin", "Madrid"],
        "answer": "Paris"
    },
    {
        "question": "Which language is used for web apps?",
        "options": ["Python", "JavaScript", "C++", "Java"],
        "answer": "JavaScript"
    },
    {
        "question": "Who developed Python?",
        "options": ["Guido van Rossum", "Dennis Ritchie", "Bjarne Stroustrup", "James Gosling"],
        "answer": "Guido van Rossum"
    },
    {
        "question": "What year was Python created?",
        "options": ["1991", "1989", "2000", "1995"],
        "answer": "1991"
    }
]

# Shuffle questions
random.shuffle(quiz_data)

score = 0

print("🧠 Welcome to the Python Quiz Game!\n")

for i, q in enumerate(quiz_data, start=1):
    print(f"Q{i}: {q['question']}")
    for j, opt in enumerate(q["options"], start=1):
        print(f"  {j}. {opt}")
    
    try:
        choice = int(input("Enter your choice (1-4): "))
        if q["options"][choice - 1] == q["answer"]:
            print("✅ Correct!\n")
            score += 1
        else:
            print(f"❌ Wrong! Correct answer: {q['answer']}\n")
    except (ValueError, IndexError):
        print("⚠️ Invalid input, skipping question.\n")

print(f"🎉 Quiz Over! You scored {score}/{len(quiz_data)}")
percentage = (score / len(quiz_data)) * 100
print(f"Your accuracy: {percentage:.2f}%")

🖥️ Version 2 – GUI Quiz App (Tkinter)

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox
import random

questions = [
    {"q": "Which company developed Python?", "options": ["Apple", "Google", "Microsoft", "None"], "answer": "None"},
    {"q": "Which keyword defines a function in Python?", "options": ["func", "define", "def", "function"], "answer": "def"},
    {"q": "Which data type is immutable?", "options": ["List", "Set", "Tuple", "Dictionary"], "answer": "Tuple"},
]

random.shuffle(questions)
index = 0
score = 0

def check_answer(selected):
    global index, score
    if selected == questions[index]["answer"]:
        score += 1
        messagebox.showinfo("Result", "✅ Correct!")
    else:
        messagebox.showerror("Result", f"❌ Wrong! Correct answer: {questions[index]['answer']}")
    index += 1
    if index < len(questions):
        load_question()
    else:
        messagebox.showinfo("Quiz Over", f"Your Score: {score}/{len(questions)}")
        root.destroy()

def load_question():
    q_label.config(text=questions[index]["q"])
    for i, opt in enumerate(questions[index]["options"]):
        buttons[i].config(text=opt, command=lambda opt=opt: check_answer(opt))

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("🧠 Quiz Game")
root.geometry("400x300")

q_label = tk.Label(root, text="", font=("Arial", 14, "bold"), wraplength=350)
q_label.pack(pady=20)

buttons = []
for i in range(4):
    btn = tk.Button(root, text="", font=("Arial", 12), width=25)
    btn.pack(pady=5)
    buttons.append(btn)

load_question()
root.mainloop()
