Hello everyone,

I'm new on this Forum and also new to programming...

I'm trying to code a test to assess the ability to concentrate (https://smallbasic.com/program/?RKCP997.000) but I'm encountering a problem.
This is how it should work:
A letter appears on the screen for 0.5 seconds then it disappears.
You have to memorize it.
Then 4 random letters appear and you must press as quickly as possible on the "Left" key if the original letter is absent and on the "Right" key if it is present.

So far my code works.

But this test should be repeated for 2 minutes, and at the end the number of errors and the average reaction time should be displayed.
But when I make a loop (lines 13 and 38 in my program), the program loops without waiting for the user to press LEFT or RIGHT.
What command should I use to make it pause until the user presses a key?

Thanks for your help !

Hey Guests please take a moment to complete a small survey about Small Basic.

Follow the link below.

***** Questionair *****

Original Post

I am thinking about creating a questionair to try to get feedback from SB users out there that are not currently engaged.

I want it to be completely annonymous with results fully shared.  Using Google Forms, respondants do need to be logged in with a Google account, although their details are not recorded.  Any opinions welcome on this.

I want it to be fairly short - here it is at the moment in link below.  At this stage I am looking for ideas or suggestions for the questionair rather than replies to it.

Once we have a form that asks what what we want and has the right tone we can try to advertise it a bit.

Questionair

EDIT

Thanks for feed back - updating with your thoughts...

We know Facebook group has 1500 members and only a couple active contributors.  We can also see that programs published there only get a handful of imports, sometimes none.  On this forum we currently have 34 members and only a few regularly active, but most of the time there are more than 10 guests viewing.

My main question is: Are there a large number of users out there or not, and if there is why isn't there more engagement - as a comminity what are we not doing or doing wrong?

   

And a 3D roller coaster example using new cubic spline method, WPHM84.000, import, uncomment File commands and save somewhere.  Needs internet first time run to download a couple images.

I know a Extension named small basic fun in archive may be we could find it link of codeplex archive also we should add extext,exprogram,square basic,data Extension  like Extension you can search thread in man small basic forum archive on way back machine

Recompiled this extension by FuleSnabel for SB 1.2, original source here.  Note the different installation requiring dll added to SB installation folder and that there is no xml intellisense, but the sample is good.

Download it from https://litdev.uk/#Extensions.

EDIT - Minimal intellisense added, at least the number and name of function arguments.

Hi all. 

Dear LitDev,
may I know your opinion about the extension for working with neural networks?
Is it worth spending time studying it?
And could this extension be interesting for use in the "AI Snake" Championship?

Thank you.

Looking through some of the old SB forum files I came accross one using Gungan's SB Forms extension, ZQX928.  I added this extension to Extension Manager in SB-Prime.

If you come across any other fun extensions from the past and they exist in some form I can try to add them.

WhTurner,

Do you have an archive of all uploaded SB programs - did you systematically scrape them or have some other way to access them?

Just curious - I do remember someone in the past on the old forum doing something like this.
