[source] The Typing Tetris Excercise thingy

Paul · **Posted:** Sun Mar 14, 2004 12:31 pm

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 Very Happy

Enjoy

Haha tied you, 1850 Very Happy

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.

*1850* , WITHOUT editing scoring in code Razz

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 Wink

now now some ppl's computers are slower that might explain the fact of the scores.

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

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.

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.

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

that would not be a problem if you keep all the variables on the procedural level

code:

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

noooooo.. i don't want a hug Smile

. haha, nice program, nice practice for typing, i hate ukelele though, i can't speell; tthat one fast.

ahh... yea... a variable's 'scope' changes if u have it inside a for loop or a proc... almost forgot about that... thx...
