Categories & Questions

The game reads categories from a ./categories folder (relative to the current working directory).

Inside this folder, there should be one or more files which are named as their category.
Example: ./categories/animals is the animals category.

Each file is in a CSV format without a header row. The format is value,question,answer.
Example: 100,The national symbol of New Zealand,Kiwi.

Changes to categories and questions will not be processed until the game is reset.

Java 8+ JavaFX (bundled with Java 8, download required for Java 9+).
