How To Play So You Think You Can Trivia?

• When you first build the project, you may run into this error

    error C2440: '<function-style-cast>'
  

  in line 66 of 'reader.hpp'

• You can remedy this by replacing

    mmap_ = mio::mmap_source(filename);
  

  with

    std::error_code error;
    mmap_.map(filename, error);
  

• Once that is fixed, you can run the application and take the quizzes as many times as you'd like!

• If you would like to provide your own quizzes, you can do so from the commandline

  • Make sure you save your quiz as a csv file that has exactly 4 answer choices and 1 correct answer for each question. Your format should be:

      Question1,Choice A,Choice B,Choice C,Choice D,Answer
    

  • Make sure your file is saved in the assets folder so that the program can access your quiz correctly

  • Enter your quizzes (you can provide up to 4) as flags as so

      --filename1=usersquiz1.csv --filename2=usersquiz2.csv
