You may add your own categories and questions as long you follow the correct format.

• The category file must be a plain text file
• It must be located within the 'categories' folder
• The 'categories' folder must be in the same directory that the .jar file is in
• You may not change the name of the 'categories' folder however, you can name the category file whatever you like
• Each question within a category must be separated by a new line
• Within each question, the format is as follows:
  • value,question,answer
    • So, the line must start with the question value (it must be an integer), followed by a comma, then the actual question, followed by a comma, then the answer.
  • One example might be: 100,The largest country by area in the world,Russia
