This is using Python.

Your submission should begin with the Trivia Challenge game from the textbook. You should have this working prior to attempting to modify for the instructions in the assignment. You are encouraged to download the working code from the course documents folder to compare to your efforts to build the code in the book.

Your submission MUST have variable points for each question, and they should be in the .txt file that the questions are located within. Think about scalability in other words if we wanted to expand this game to 20 questions, all that you should have to alter is the .txt file that the questions are located in.

You other challenge is to maintain a high score list and that MUST read and write to a file. I suggested in another announcement/email that it was probably easier to write that high scores to another text or data file. If you do so, that file MUST be included in your submission.

*Two of the files are below*

.txt file
