This is a small Python math-quiz project. The main script is Pedro_Aguiar_Python_Math_Quiz_Code.py and it uses only the Python standard library (random, time, math).

• Pedro_Aguiar_Python_Math_Quiz_Code.py — the game code.
• Dockerfile — Docker image definition to run the game.
• docker-compose.yml — Compose service for running the game interactively.
• requirements.txt — dependency file (currently empty / placeholder).
• leaderboard.txt — file used to persist scores (created/mounted by Compose).

• Docker Engine installed
• Docker Compose (bundled with Docker Desktop or docker-compose separately)
• Windows PowerShell (examples below use PowerShell)

Open PowerShell in the project folder (c:\Users\pedri\OneDrive\Desktop\python_math\Python_Math_Quiz) and run:

# Build the image
docker-compose build

# Run the container interactively (recommended for answering prompts)
docker-compose run --rm quiz

Notes:

• docker-compose run --rm quiz creates a container from the quiz service, attaches a TTY and keeps STDIN open so you can answer prompts.
• --rm removes the container when it exits.

You can also use docker-compose up --build, but for interactive sessions run is often more convenient.

# Build with docker
docker build -t python-math-quiz:latest .

# Run interactively (mount the host leaderboard file)
# In PowerShell use $(pwd).Path for the absolute path
$hostPath = "$(pwd).Path\\leaderboard.txt"
docker run -it --rm -v ${hostPath}:/app/leaderboard.txt python-math-quiz:latest

If leaderboard.txt does not exist on the host, Docker will create an empty file when mounting.

The docker-compose.yml mounts ./leaderboard.txt to /app/leaderboard.txt inside the container, so scores persist between runs.

Currently the Compose setup copies files into the image at build time (COPY . /app). For a development workflow where you want live edits without rebuilding the image, modify docker-compose.yml to mount the project directory into the container:

services:
  quiz:
    build: .
    volumes:
      - ./:/app
      - ./leaderboard.txt:/app/leaderboard.txt
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    working_dir: /app
    command: python Pedro_Aguiar_Python_Math_Quiz_Code.py

This will reflect changes made on the host immediately inside the container.

If you start using third-party libraries, add them to requirements.txt (one per line). Then run:

docker-compose build --no-cache

Or, if you prefer docker build:

docker build -t python-math-quiz:latest .

• Permission error mounting leaderboard.txt on Windows: create the file on the host first with New-Item -Path . -Name "leaderboard.txt" -ItemType "file" and retry.
• Interactive/TTY issues: prefer docker-compose run --rm quiz for interactive sessions.
