Ever wanted to know how fast you are at slinging a gun (especially after slinging some gin!)? Here's your chance with a program from Kevin Stafferton which tests your reaction speeds. The prog-am will display one of the four directional arrows-. You must move the joystick or press the cursor key corresponding to this arrow. 'The computer limes you and prints your speed with sarcastic remarks. As the program stands, it uses the cursor keys. To use a joystick, remove line 40 and de-REM 'take out the starting apostrophe l 'J) from line 45. The key numbers are held in line 40. If you wish to use other key combinations, look at the back of the user guide or on the 6128's case; it contains all the key numbers. Line 40 contains c(1)=0. This means the key to move left is the key number 0, which happens to be the left arrow character. If you wish this to be Z then replace it with c(1)-71. The same applies for the other keys. By the way - a hot tip: note the way Kevin forces a new line in a Print statement - like line 130 - by typing two quotemarks in a row. TAU |
