Discord Trivia Bot

Phase 1 — Core Bot & Basic Quiz Logic

• Implement a Discord bot connected via the Discord API.
• Users can start a personal quiz session with a command.
• Bot asks a single question from a predefined set (stored in memory or JSON).
• Users submit answers via a command.
• Check correctness and reply immediately.

Functional result: each user can start a quiz session, answer a question, and get immediate feedback on correctness.

Phase 2 — Database Integration

• Set up a SQLite (or other) database to store:

  • Users
  • Scores
  • Questions answered

• Track per-user statistics:

  • Number of correct/incorrect answers
  • Total quizzes taken

• Ensure multiple users’ sessions don’t interfere.

Functional result: user progress and scores persist across bot restarts; multiple users can answer simultaneously without conflicts.

Phase 3 — Quiz Management & Command Enhancements

• Add more commands for the following functionalities:

  • get next question in the user’s session
  • show personal stats
  • leaderboard: display top users globally

• Implement question selection:

  • Random question from pool
  • Avoid repeating questions already answered by the user

Functional result: users can progress through a personalized quiz, see scores, and view leaderboards.

Phase 4 — Robustness & Extra Features

• Handle invalid commands gracefully.
• Add question categories and allow users to pick a category.
• Implement per-user session timeout if inactive.
• Log errors and quiz sessions for debugging.

Functional result: bot runs reliably with multiple concurrent users, tracks stats per user, handles errors, and supports multiple categories.
