Quiz only - depends on ovos-skill-geography

This skill used to bundle its own copy of the country/capital/region data and answer facts directly ("what is the capital of France"). That's been split out into ovos-skill-geography, a utility skill this package now depends on - the same relationship ovos-skill-unit-practice has with ovos-skill-convert. Installing this skill pulls in ovos-skill-geography as a dependency, so both the facts intents AND the quiz intents below end up active. See ovos-skill-geography's README for why facts have standalone value independent of any quiz, and its DEVELOPMENT.md for why it's not a CommonQuerySkill.

Quiz

• "quiz me on capitals" - 5 questions, listens for a spoken capital name, accepts either the localized name or any of the country's actual capital names.
• "quiz me on continents" - 5 questions, listens for a spoken continent/region name.
• "quiz me on country borders" - yes/no format ("does France border Germany"), half true and half false, constructed so it can never accidentally produce a false negative - see DEVELOPMENT.md for why this isn't an open-ended "name a border" question.

Usage

Known simplifications

• No teach-then-practice mode yet - unlike ovos-skill-math-practice, this is quiz-only for v1.
• Data quality/coverage caveats (capital-name translation coverage, scope limited to 194 UN member states, etc) live in ovos-skill-geography's README/CREDITS.md, since that's where the data actually lives now.

Install

pip install ovos-skill-geography-practice
