    I should really clean up my code after I'm done!

    Also i'm kinda not sure when a variable needs to be initialized and when not. But i guess it doesn't need to be when you dont perform an operation on it, right?

    With the addScore = 3 - addScore, i was sure there has to be a simple way to do that, but i just couldn't think of it.

    I don't agree on the totScore being clearer when adding up the 3 subscores. When glancing over the code, it could be possible that the 3 subscores share a question. I didn't even notice they do not share one! However i agree that it's cleaner to perform a single operation instead of one every loop.

    Thank you for the feedback, i appreciate it!

    Feel free to tell me the other stuff you noticed :)

    Dual booting is something i want to look into, it's probably the best solution. I think there is a lot to learn by using a Linux system.
