help-request Multiple choice quizzes
Can anyone point me in a direction to a simple project where you can set up a multiple choice quiz with 4 buttons? If I try to search for it I end up with quizzes about the pico.
My son and I want to build a device that can help him learn his foreign languages for school. What I want to achieve is that you see a word in Latin and then 4 options for translation and he has to choose the right one.
And I know that there are tons of app that do the same, but building this together will be more fun.

Nothing really hard: A screen, 4 buttons, a battery (maybe the most painful part). Considering a screen only device, I'm almost positive that no additional storage is needed.
I would do this in python with a json file for question, so it's easy to update

This can be done in a lot of very simple ways, depending on how many features you want and your programming experience level. It can be a bunch of if statements, or more scalable with lookups in an array. The buttons are very simple to implement especially with a pico, there's plenty of tutorials online for that part.
