Crazy numbers

I created this game whilst I was creating the virtual assistant (GitHub Repository). I intended to create something entertaining but also educative and helpful in some sense. The first thing that came to my mind was making a game with the genre of mathematical thinking. The gist of the game is that there are 5 possible options:

• Addition
• Subtraction
• Multiplication
• Division
• Indices

Each of these options has 7 varying levels of difficulty, with the number of points received increasing with each level. Some features of this game include:

• Random number generation using the random module
• Saving the high score in a .txt file
• Calculating the time taken for each question to be answered using the time module
• Use of certain visual and textual effects to make the game more engaging
• BONUS: added average time is taken per question and the total number of questions attempted after gaining more experience in programming

My takeaway from this project was the power of abstraction using functions. Initially, as I started developing the game, I realized that a lot of the statements were being repeated - it felt like I was writing spaghetti code. However, I soon came to realize this and implemented functions within my program. It still isn't perfect but it is much better.
