The Scam Game

Sneak peek! I finally named it. And it's glorious. Well, I kinda retraced my steps. I know I said I was going to make a quiz thing, but that felt lame, so I made a full-blown game instead. Granted, it's a VERY rudimentary concept, but hey, a game's a game. The game retains almost all my previous ideas.

We were told to do some kinda project based on cyber-security, and I got the idea of developing a game that tests your ability to gauge scams and online phishing techniques ( I need to brush up on those topics) and actively avoid them. The game would involve judging whether emails were harmful based on certain ques and traits and deleting them correspondingly (this was one of the first ideas that occurred to me). A number of players would all compete against each other for the fastest time taken to complete the game. They would be awarded points for every right action. An algorithm would be...
