Quiz Question Game Demo GUI with Kivy Python

Kivy is an open-source Python library for rapid development of applications that make use of innovative user interfaces, such as multi-touch apps. In this article, we will create a simple quiz question game demo GUI using Kivy Python.

Setting Up the Environment

First, make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can download and install Python from the official website here. Next, you will need to install Kivy by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install kivy

Creating the Quiz Question Game

Now, let’s create our quiz question game. Below is the Python code for a simple GUI that displays a question and four possible answers. The user can select an answer by clicking on the corresponding button.

  import kivy
  from kivy.app import App
  from kivy.uix.label import Label
  from kivy.uix.button import Button
  from kivy.uix.gridlayout import GridLayout

  class QuizApp(App):
      def build(self):
          layout = GridLayout(cols=1)
          question = Label(text='What is the capital of France?')
          layout.add_widget(question)
          answer1 = Button(text='London')
          layout.add_widget(answer1)
          answer2 = Button(text='Berlin')
          layout.add_widget(answer2)
          answer3 = Button(text='Madrid')
          layout.add_widget(answer3)
          answer4 = Button(text='Paris')
          layout.add_widget(answer4)
          return layout

  if __name__ == '__main__':
      QuizApp().run()
  

Running the Quiz Question Game

Save the above code in a Python file (e.g. quiz_app.py) and run it in your terminal using the following command:

python quiz_app.py

You should see a window displaying the question “What is the capital of France?” and four answer buttons below it. You can now expand on this demo by adding more questions, implementing scoring, and customizing the UI further using Kivy’s rich set of widgets and layouts.
