I have been looking up on how to go about doing this, and have no idea what to do.
When I attempt to run this code i get
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'splitlines'
My txt file is setup like
mult choice
question
answer1
answer2
answer3
answer4
correct answer#
reasonwhy
true/false
question
t
f
correct t or f
reasonwhy
repeat 12x
ive been searching online for 2 days before i decided to ask so any assistance would be much appreciated. I need to correctly have a trivia game randomly select a question, whether its true/false for mult choice, not use the question again.
