AIM: To develop a software to check the player's General Knowledge.
In today’s world where the amount of information is doubling every year, it is important to stay updated about the latest facts, news and current affairs. However, at times, keeping ourselves updated may seem too tedious and time consuming. Thus, this project is an initiative to make people stay updated about the recent whereabouts, past events and general facts about the country and the world. Built with the basic Turbo C++ version of the C++ compiler, this software aims at making learning current affairs and general knowledge much more interesting.
• This is an interesting game consisting of 11 questions. Whenever the player answers a question correctly, he/she is awarded a cash prize.
• If the player faces any difficulty in answering a question, he/she can use any of the 4 lifelines, “Double dip”, “What experts think” and “Extra 20”.
• The player can use lifelines to answer the first ten questions. However, he can’t use any lifeline to answer the eleventh question (the ultimate one) even though his lifeline(s) are left unused. They cannot be used for the “What Experts’ Think” question also.
• The player gets 40 seconds to answer every question. If the player doesn’t confirm his answer before the time limit, the game will be discontinued and no cash prize will be awarded to that question.
• The player will not win any amount if he answers a question wrongly.
• However, if the player answers the first five questions correctly, he enters a safe zone of $ 50000. After this, if the player answers a question wrong, the player drops it down to $ 50000.
• However if the player gets a question wrong before question 5, the player doesn’t get any cash prize.
• If the player quits in the middle of the game (before confirming the option) the player will not lose the cash prize and gets the cash awarded to him for the previous question.
This game has 4 Lifelines:
• Extra 20:

• “What Experts Think”:
When the player uses this lifeline the expert will reveal the answer which is right according to the expert, when the player answers a question asked by the expert correctly.
• “50-50”:
This lifeline eliminates 2 wrong options from the 4 options.
