# TriviaRacing

> TriviaRacing is a free real-time multiplayer trivia game with a racing theme. Four players answer the same trivia questions at the same time, and the fastest correct answer drives your kart further down the track. Whoever crosses the finish line first wins. Available on iOS, Android, and web.

## How scoring works

Every question awards points only on a correct answer. The point value is `(base + speed_bonus) * difficulty_multiplier`:

- Base for a correct answer: 60
- Speed bonus: up to 40, scaled by how quickly you answered relative to the round's time window
- Difficulty multiplier: Easy ×1.0, Medium ×1.2, Hard ×1.5
- Wrong or no answer: 0 points

A round ends the instant all four players have answered — there is no waiting out the full timer.

## How the racing visualization works

Track position is a function of `your_points / current_leader_points`. The leader is always rendered at the right edge; everyone else is rendered relative to them. This keeps the race visually tight even when scores diverge. The final round switches to absolute progress so the finish-line ordering is honest.

## Why it's different from other trivia games

Most trivia apps are turn-based or solo, and treat your score as just a number. TriviaRacing is fully real-time, four players at once, and renders the standings as four karts on a shared track. A wrong or slow answer is felt visually as your car falling behind, not just a digit on a scoreboard.
