Hey there, I just completed the Triple X section of the Unreal / C++ courses.
I added a few tweaks of my own to add a bit of color to the game, mainly, a life total that decreases after each wrong answer, and a few more else if statement for the game to act differently if the player just beat the game or died.
Please tell me how I did and how I could improve my code!
