----------------------------------- Paul Sun Mar 14, 2004 12:31 pm [source] The Typing Tetris Excercise thingy ----------------------------------- Back in Business class, we had to learn how to type fast. The "typing tetris" game is one of the things we used. It speeds up as you finish words, and if you miss one , the speed resets. I didn't feel like making it fancy, I suppose when I do my final project, "paul world", I would make it more fancy. I just thought up of it this morning at 10 when I woke up. But here is the basic program, try to beat my score of 1850 :D Enjoy ----------------------------------- recneps Sun Mar 14, 2004 12:45 pm ----------------------------------- Haha tied you, 1850 :D ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Mar 14, 2004 12:49 pm ----------------------------------- Hehe, i thought my computer is slow, so I gave you guys an easier version, where the speed increases by 3 instead of 5 every time. ----------------------------------- guruguru Sun Mar 14, 2004 12:56 pm ----------------------------------- :D 3150 :D ----------------------------------- recneps Sun Mar 14, 2004 1:00 pm ----------------------------------- *1850* , WITHOUT editing scoring in code :P lol and im talking FIRST TRY! And maybe you could create a text files with like 100 words, and then have it load em all into an array and randomize, because its always the same words over and over again ;) ----------------------------------- guruguru Sun Mar 14, 2004 3:34 pm ----------------------------------- *1850* , WITHOUT editing scoring in code lol and im talking FIRST TRY! Are you implying something :? ? lol... *3150* , WITHOUT editing scoring in code lol and IM talking FIRST TRY! ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Mar 14, 2004 5:28 pm ----------------------------------- now now some ppl's computers are slower that might explain the fact of the scores. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Sun Mar 14, 2004 6:41 pm ----------------------------------- nice program.,... i got 1300 i sux... but ya see i had a problem with ukelele and alfalfa... other t hen that... nice... polish it up then u shoulkd put it on ur site.. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Mar 14, 2004 7:48 pm ----------------------------------- score 8) I got a big hug from Paul. I'm movin' on up the ladder now! nice program Paul. I always love the aesthetic appeal you have in your programs. It looks wonderful and runs smoothly and flawlessy. +10 BITS ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Mar 14, 2004 7:55 pm ----------------------------------- score! I just got a compliment from Cervantes, I wasn't trying particularily to make it look good though, Im going to make it way better, once I make it in to one huge program for my "paul land" like http://www.jumpland.com except you get to walk around the "World of Paul" and enter houses of programs. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Mar 14, 2004 7:59 pm ----------------------------------- That's an awesome idea for a FP paul. can't wait to see it! I hope it has cool graphics for the walking around bit such as Breath of Fire or Legend of Zelda. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Sun Mar 14, 2004 8:40 pm ----------------------------------- wow... taht sounds like a WICKED idea... only problem i can forsee is if you use the same variable twice.. you will have to rename the vairables.. as an FP it sounds GREAT ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Mar 14, 2004 11:04 pm ----------------------------------- only problem i can forsee is if you use the same variable twice.. that would not be a problem if you keep all the variables on the procedural level var x:int := 5 proc a() var x:int := 10 put x end a a put x a put x as you can see global variable x and variable x inside the procedure are independant of each other ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Mar 14, 2004 11:34 pm ----------------------------------- noooooo.. i don't want a hug :). haha, nice program, nice practice for typing, i hate ukelele though, i can't speell; tthat one fast. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Mon Mar 15, 2004 12:09 pm ----------------------------------- ahh... yea... a variable's 'scope' changes if u have it inside a for loop or a proc... almost forgot about that... thx... ----------------------------------- recneps Tue Mar 16, 2004 11:23 am ----------------------------------- hint, you dont lose points for spamming keys, so on ukelele keep hitting leleleleleleleleleel until you get it ;) and alfalfa same idea alfalaflaflaflaflafl ;) ----------------------------------- guruguru Tue Mar 16, 2004 11:23 pm ----------------------------------- Nooo my secret's out :cry: !!! Lol... just jokin :D ... or am I 8) ?
