- Compile the Java files. Assuming you are in the project root (
c:\Project\Quiz):javac -d bin src/*.java src/panels/*.java

Stores shared state like results.panels/HomePanel.java: The landing screen input form.panels/QuizPanel.java: Handles the quiz logic, question rendering, and score calculation.panels/ScoreboardPanel.java: Renders aJTablecontaining all the historical quiz results.
