Who Wants To Be a Millionaire

I am open to pull requests if anyone wants to improve on this game.

This is a simple version of the popular game made using C / GTK 4 / Libadwaita. There are only 10 hard-coded questions and they are not in a random order. There also is no time limit.

The codebase could be much improved by moving the main game logic into its own GObject class - a millionaire-gameplay an object that represents the game state, and give millionaire-window a property of type MillionaireGameplay making it into a model/view split, where Gameplay is responsible only for the game logic and Window is responsible only for displaying the game state in the UI. As a bonus, it gives the ability to use property bindings, like label: bind gameplay.money.

The game also uses GTK Fixed widget and a fixed window size. This could also be improved by moving to a more responsive layout like GTK Grid.

Source questions from OpenTDB

There is a free service called Open Trivia Database: https://opentdb.com/

This would allow dynamically generating new questions each run.

Admittedly many of the questions are not up to the quality of the real thing but I believe its one of the few freely licensed collections of trivia.

How to run this project

Please, add info about building the package.

Consider changing name

I think its advisable to name the project anything other than "Who wants to be a millionaire" which is an actively used Trademark for real products: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1356240/Who_Wants_To_Be_A_Millionaire/

It would be very easy to convince a lawyer to send you a cease and desist. I'd suggest a more generic name.
