I suggested using a nested dictionary structure to hold the questions.
Did you try that? It should make this a relatively trivial problem.
I'll show the structure for the example you have given so far:
questions: {'Q':
{"""
You have just turned 18 years old.
Your life awaits,... choices to be made..
""" : ['Army', 'Navy', 'Airforce']}
{'a':
{ 'Q': {#army questions here}
}
'b':
{
'Q': {''What kind of ship?':
['battleship','carrier','tug']},
'a': { # battleship questions},
'b': { # carrier questions},
'c': { # tug questions }
}
'c':
{ 'Q': {# airforce Q here}
}
}
Obviously keeping the structure clear is critical to success and
a good programmers editor will help balance the braces/quotes etc
You can extend the structure to have multiple questions at each
stage by simply putting each questoon/answer dictionary in a list.
You could also break the structure to ease layout so for example
three separate instances, one per service. You could
even encapsulate it in a class (I would!)
You are essentially building a tree structure and then navigating
down it in a part-random, part-deterministic manner.
