TestTaker 1.0

TestTaker is a program that allows you to take and create your own tests/quizes. Each test is encrypted and compressed with a password that you specify. You can create the test in a standard text editor like notepad. After you create the test, then you compress and encrypt it so that the user can't read the questions or answers directly from the test file. The encoder.bat passes arguments to the TestTaker program which interprets them and produces the test. The output test is encrypted with XOR and compressed with Huffman. It is given a tst extention. The program has two different types of questions. One of them is an option question where one answer can be selected and the other is a question with multiple answers. The process for creating, encoding, and taking a test with TestTaker is discribed below.


Format of a test(every test must use this format):

DosaidSoft TestTaker V1.0 (must contain this because it is used for validity check)
(# of answers in question, zero for option question)
(# or #s of the correct answer(s))
-
(the question)
(answer #0)
(answer #1)
(answer #2)
(answer #3)
(etc... can have up to ten possible answers)
-
(# of answers in question, zero for option question)
(# or #s of the correct answer(s))
-
(the question)
(answer #0)
(answer #1)
(answer #2)
(answer #3)
(etc... can have up to ten possible answers)
-

You can have as many questions as you want, but the example above only shows two questions. Down below there is a sample test using the format above.
