Programming Projects 6.12 and 6.13 asked you to write a program to play a simple trivia game consisting of five questions. The questions, answers, and point values were hardcoded into array(s). This programming project involves moving the trivia questions into one or more binary files instead, and then loading the trivia questions into memory when the program starts.

First, write a program that allows an administrator to manage the questions for the trivia game. When the program is run, it should check to see if a data file exists. If the data file exists, then the trivia questions should be loaded from the data file into array(s) in memory. If the data file does not exist, start the program with no trivia questions in memory. The program should then present a menu that allows the administrator to list all trivia items (question, answer, and value) in the database, add a new trivia item, or delete an existing trivia item. Upon exiting the program, the trivia data in memory should be stored to one or more binary files using the writeObject method.

Second, modify either solution to Programming Projects 6.12 or 6.13 to read in the trivia data from the binary file created by the administrator’s program. Note that the game is no longer limited to five questions, since an arbitrary number of trivia items may be created by the administrator’s program and stored in the binary file(s).
