a Python Multiple Choice Quiz Application with possible multiple correct answers and a simple GUI
The Application is a simple multiple choice quiz program built with Python and Tkinter. The application loads questions and answer options from a YAML file, allows users to select their answers, and provides immediate feedback on their choices. It also supports an option to exit the quiz at any time.
The Python Quiz Application allows users to take a quiz based on a set of questions and answers loaded from a YAML file. The application presents each question with shuffled answer options and allows the user to select multiple answers. Once the user clicks the "Select" button, the application evaluates the selected options and displays immediate feedback on whether each selected answer is correct or not. Additionally, the user can exit the quiz at any time during the evaluation process.
The application uses the Tkinter library for its graphical user interface and randomizes the order of questions to enhance user experience and avoid patterns.
