Math Game Project

An interactive C++ console math quiz that generates randomized questions and lets the player practice arithmetic operations across multiple difficulty levels.

Project Status

Core gameplay is implemented and functional. The project is a compact C++ exercise focused on functions, enums, structures, random number generation, validation, and game-state management.

Feature Status

Implemented — Working

• Difficulty selection — Easy, Mid, Hard, and Mixed.
• Operation selection — Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, and Mixed.
• Custom question count from 1 to 10.
• Random question generation.
• Immediate answer checking.
• Correct-answer display after a wrong answer.
• Score tracking.
• Pass/Fail result based on correct vs. incorrect answers.
• Replay option after each game.
• Console color feedback for correct and incorrect answers.
• Input validation for numeric menu selections.

Partially Implemented / Needs Refinement

• Division — The current calculator uses integer arithmetic, so division does not support decimal results.
• Console UI — The color-based interface is designed around Windows console commands.
• Question generation — The current range is intentionally simple and can be expanded for more variety.

Planned — Coming Soon

The following improvements are not currently implemented and are planned for future updates:

• Decimal/floating-point division.
• More question types.
• Larger difficulty ranges.
• Timer-based challenges.
• High-score tracking.
• More detailed game statistics.
• Cross-platform console support.
• Improved UI presentation.

Technologies & Concepts

• C++
• Functions
• Structures
• Enumerations
• Random number generation
• Loops and conditionals
• Input validation
• Console interaction

Getting Started

1. Open the project source in a C++ development environment such as Visual Studio, Code::Blocks, or MinGW.
2. Compile the source as a C++ console application.
3. Run the executable.
4. Follow the prompts to configure and play a quiz.

Note: The current implementation uses Windows console commands such as system("cls") and system("color"), so Windows is the intended environment.

Learning Objectives

This project demonstrates practical understanding of:

• Breaking a program into reusable functions.
• Managing state with structures and enums.
• Generating randomized data.
• Validating user input.
• Designing a simple interactive console application.

Roadmap

Future updates will expand the question system, improve mathematical handling, add statistics, and make the game more flexible.
