1 CS0008: Introduction to Computer Programming with Python Department of Computer Science, University of Pittsburgh Assignment 3: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? DUE: December 13th, 2019 The goal of this assignment is to implement a simplified version of the game “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Wants_to_Be_a_Millionaire_(U.S._game_show)), using the programming structures that seen in class. In each game (14) fourteen questions are asked to each participant and there are (4) four possible answers for each question. There is only (1) one correct answer. You’re not allowed to import any module other than random, but the rest of the implementation is up to you to decide the best approach as long as the end result meets what’s being asked, after all, you are now a Python developer! ? Game’s Payout Structure You need to implement: A python program that must have/do: (1) The “main” function that will display the main menu and coordinate the game’s execution. (2) The main game in which you will ask the user 14 random questions from the given “data.txt” file. i. In data.txt each question is defined between two dashed “-----“ lines. ii. After the first dashed line, you’ll find 2 empty spaces, the symbol ‘#’, the questions’ id in the database and the question’s prompt. iii. After the second “---“ line, (4) four possible answers are given (lines with options start with *). iv. Then you have an empty line and then the correct answer. v. And at the end it must calculate the user’s score. *(note that data.txt has more than 14 questions) IMPORTANT: Questions only start at line 51 Question Number Question Value 1 500.00$ 2 1,000.00$ 3 2,000.00$ 4 3,000.00$ 5 5,000.00$ 6 7,000.00$ 7 10,000.00$ 8 20,000.00$ 9 30,000.00$ 10 50,000.00$ 11 100,000.00$ 12 250,000.00$ 13 500,000.00$ 14 1,000,000.00$ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Wants_to_Be_a_Millionaire_(U.S._game_show) 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #0001 Which disease devastated livestock across the UK during 2001? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hand-and-foot Foot-in-mouth Hand-to-mouth Foot-and-mouth Foot-and-mouth (3) The option for more than one player to play at a time, I. At the end print a list sorted from best score (winner) to lowest score. II. Each player should be asked only one question at a time, and then the next question is asked to second player and so on. (4) A hall of fame with names and scores of best 10 players (add option in the main menu) I. You must save scores to hof.txt file so you can recover it later. II. In hof.txt each line must start with the points (integer format) and then the player’s name Ex: 1000000 Sarah 1000000 John 500000 Peter 100000 Marge 100000 Rita 7000 Daniel III. The number of entries in hall of fame must not exceed 10. (5) A menu option that allows users to insert, modify (search question by number) and remove questions from the questions file: data.txt. Sample file content (data.txt): Hint: You may need to use the strip function during the reading of the file. (Remerber to remove question’s id) What you will need to submit You must submit the main game file titled “millionaire-
.py” (e.g., your instructor would create “millionaire-mad371.py”). ****IMPORTANT: Before submitting it, remove the path to data.txt and hof.txt from your code.**** Ex: for Windows users: before: open(r“C:\Users\JDoe\Desktop\data.txt”, ‘r’) after: open(“data.txt”, ‘r’) for Mac users: before: open(r“/Users/JDoe/Desktop/data.txt”, ‘r’) after: open(“data.txt”, ‘r’) for Linux users: before: open(r“/home/JDoe/Desktop/data.txt”, ‘r’) after: open(“data.txt”, ‘r’) 3 Who Wants to be a Millionaire (1) New game (2) Hall of Fame (3) Manage Questions (4) Exit >>>1 Enter how many players will play: >>>1 Enter name for player 1: >>>Matt Player: Matt 1 #The siege of which town was the last major battle of the American Revolution?
