I thought the PICO-8 community needed a reaction time test. For this I came up with a reflex test inspired by humanbenchmark.com
HOW TO USE
You can use the whole program just by pressing the "O" key. When you pass the main menu and start the test, you wait on the red screen for a random length of time. At the end of this period, when the screen turns green, you must press the "O" key as fast as possible. If you press the key early, you will have to start over with the current step. At the end of each step, you can see your current reaction time and when this process is repeated 5 times, the program calculates your average reaction time.
CREATING A DATABASE
The program also makes a comment on how fast or slow you are as a result, based on your average reaction time. This comment is a classification system based on the results of me and a few volunteers for now.
The next thing I want to do about this is to set up a database of the average reaction times of the PICO-8 community playing this game and put it on some sort of leaderboard. If you want to help, you can write your average reaction time in the comments until the next update!
MUSIC
I took the music in the main menu from Gruber's "Pico-8 Music Tutorials" playlist from YouTube, which I started watching to improve my composing skills.
