This game requires Python 3. To play the game, simply download the source code and run the you_want_to_be_a_millionaire.py file in your Python environment. No external libraries are required; however, make sure you have access to the standard Python libraries time, random, sys, and os.

The game logic is encapsulated within the YouWantToBeAMillionaire class, which manages the game's state and handles the flow from start to finish. Questions are stored in external constants and are selected based on the player's current level. The game employs basic Python libraries to manage user input, clear the screen for a clean display, and introduce delays for dramatic effect.
