Multi-client-quiz-game

This repo is an implementation of a multiplayer quiz game using socket programming.

Introduction

Rules:

1. Game starts once the maximum number of players have joined.
2. Questions are sent to the players with options.
3. Players need to answer the question within 60 secs.
4. If a player fails to answer within the time limit or answers with the wrong answer, the player will get kicked out.
