Overview

This project implements a real-time multiplayer quiz game where 3 players must join before the game starts.
The server coordinates question distribution, timing, scoring, and synchronization across all connected clients.

Key highlights:

• Server–client architecture
• Real-time synchronized question broadcast
• Tkinter-based visual interface for players
• JSON-based question bank
• Automatic scoring & answer tracking
• Countdown timer per question
• Supports concurrent players

Game Flow

1. Players run the client application and connect to the quiz server.
2. The server waits until 3 players join.
3. Once the required number of users is connected, the quiz automatically begins.
4. Each question:
   • Is pulled from questions.json
   • Sent to every client simultaneously
   • Has a time limit (e.g., 10 seconds)
   • Automatically moves to the next question if time expires
5. At the end of 10 questions:
   • Scores are calculated
   • Winner is announced
