## This will be a simple post of my first project written in python, a clone of the game "Who wants to be a millionaire?".

The code found in the main.py below loads questions and 4 options from the questions.csv file where the last column in each row is the answer to the question of that row

```
import random
import csv

csv_path = "./questions.csv"

class Question:
    def __init__(self, question, options):
        self.question = question
        self.answer = options[-1]
        self.incorrect_options = options[0:3]
        self.shuffle_options(options)

    def is_response_correct(self, response):
        return response == self.options[self.answer]
    
    # options should be shuffled first as the answer is always the last option in the csv
    def shuffle_options(self, options):
        random.shuffle(options)
        self.options = {
            options[0]:"a",
            options[1]:"b",
            options[2]:"c",
            options[3]:"d",
        }

    def remove_two_incorrect_options(self):
        # Remove any two options that are not our self.answer
        for i in range(2):
            self.options.pop(self.incorrect_options[i])
            
class Round:
    def __init__(self, amount, is_safety_round):
        self.amount = amount
        self.is_safety_round = is_safety_round
