- Tracks the user's total correct answers (score).
- Provides immediate feedback on whether the answer is correct or not.
- Alerts the user when the game is over and displays their best score.
- Option to restart the game.
- Uses a PostgreSQL database to fetch country and capital data dynamically.

## Setup Instructions
### 1. Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/RahulRmCoder/Game-Capital-Quiz.git
cd Game-Capital-Quiz
```
### 2. Install Dependencies
Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
### 3. Configure PostgreSQL Database
1. Ensure PostgreSQL is running.
2. Create a database named `world`.
3. Create a table named `capitals` with the following schema:
```sql
CREATE TABLE capitals (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
country VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
capital VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
);
```
4. Populate the table with sample data:
```sql
INSERT INTO capitals (country, capital) VALUES
('France', 'Paris'),
('United Kingdom', 'London'),
('United States of America', 'New York');
```
### 4. Update Database Connection
Open the `index.js` file and update the PostgreSQL connection details:
```javascript
const db = new pg.Client({
user: "postgres",
host: "localhost",
database: "world",
password: "your_password",
port: 5432,
});
```
Replace `your_password` with your PostgreSQL password.
### 5. Start the Server
Run the server using:
```bash
node index.js
```
The server will start at [http://localhost:3002](http://localhost:3002).
