8-Bit Super Mario Bros. Quiz

The "8-Bit Super Mario Bros. Quiz" began as a side project while I was taking CIS courses at Portland Community College. The first iteration of the quiz was a terminal-based program which I wrote not long after finishing my first Python course. Shortly after writing it I taught myself how to use the Flask web framework, where I began to make projects with an emphasis on database connectivity. A few months later I also wanted to teach myself similar web-building skills using the Django web framework. The project I chose in order to help me learn Django was an expansion of the terminal-based Mario quiz written six months before. A year after this second version of the quiz was complete, and having fully decided to focus on Flask, I re-wrote the Django-based quiz in Flask, which is what is presented here below. The Flask project is very similar to the Django project, but I added the functionality of keeping score for the user as they progress through the quiz.
