== Development Details ==	== Development Details ==

* '''Platform''': Windows Forms (.NET 8.0)
* '''Language''': C#
* '''Architecture''':
** <code>Question</code> class models each question, its answers, and scoring impacts.
** Scores are tracked in integer values across axes and custom traits.
** UI consists of labels for questions and buttons for answers, navigation, reset, and submission.
	* '''Platform:''' Windows Forms (.NET 8.0)
	* '''Language:''' C#
	* '''Architecture:'''
	** The core logic is built around a <code>Question</code> class that contains:
	*** The question text
	*** Answer options
	*** Scoring data for moral/ethical axes and custom traits
	** Scores are aggregated as integer values across:
	*** Lawful/Chaotic axis
	*** Good/Evil axis
	*** Custom traits dictionary
	** The UI includes:
	*** Question label
	*** Five radio buttons for answers
	*** Navigation buttons ('''Next''', '''Back''', '''Reset''')
	*** Result label for displaying the final alignment

== Scoring System ==	== Scoring System ==

* '''Moral Axis''': Good, Neutral, Evil points are incremented based on answers.
* '''Ethical Axis''': Lawful and Chaotic points track user’s ethical tendencies.
* '''Custom Traits''':
** ''Cunning''
** ''Selective''
** ''Steadfast''
** ''Compassionate''
** ''Ruthless''

Each answer adds a specific score to these traits, helping refine the personality profile.
	* '''Moral Axis:'''
	** Positive points increase ''Good'', negative points increase ''Evil'', and zero represents ''Neutral''.
	* '''Ethical Axis:'''
	** Positive points increase ''Lawful'', negative points increase ''Chaotic'', and zero represents ''Neutral''.
	* '''Custom Traits:'''
	** Each answer may increase one or more of the following:
	*** '''Steadfast'''
	*** '''Selective'''
	*** '''Cunning'''
	*** '''Compassionate'''
	*** '''Ruthless'''
	** The highest scoring trait becomes the prefix of the final alignment.
	* '''Final Result Composition:'''
	** Example output: '''Steadfast Chaotic Good'''
	** If no custom trait exceeds 0, only the standard alignment is shown.
