Python Math Game – nhymbe.net

This is a program I made for my daughter to sharpen her multiplication skills. This program is a multiplication quiz game that asks the player 10 random multiplication questions. The game tracks the number of correct and incorrect answers, records how long the player takes to answer each question, and saves the results in a text file called multiplication_results.txt.

She enjoys playing with this program even if it is just a plain text game. Below is the source code of version 1. If you want a copy of the program leave a comment below. Stay tuned for the next version, which is coming soon!

import random
import datetime
import os

def main():
    os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')

    startTime = datetime.datetime.now()
    y = 0
    n = 0

    print("\n\033[1;32m ********** MULTIPLICATION **********\n")
    print("\033[1;32m This program is created by Abe")
    print("\n\033[1;32m ************************************\n")

    # Open a file to write the output
    with open("multiplication_results.txt", "a") as f:
        f.write(f"Game started at: {startTime}\n")
        f.write("********** MULTIPLICATION **********\n")

        for counter in range(10):
            a = random.randint(0, 10)
            b = random.randint(0, 10)
            
            print("\033[1;37m **********************************")
            print(f" {a} x {b} ")
            correctAnswer = a * b

            questionEnd = datetime.datetime.now()

                y += 1
                f.write(f"Question {counter+1}: {a} x {b} = {correctAnswer} (Correct), Time Taken: {timeTaken}\n")
            else:
                print(f"\n\033[1;31m You are wrong. The answer is {correctAnswer}")
