One Key Challange
I have understood that the input system allowed was only Keyboard. No mouse No joystick.
about snippets posted here, they are very remarkable.
All 3 codes use the method
wait input, do while input, stop more than X time = finishedso you count time of waiting only at moment that input stops,
moreover until timeout, you can restart the choice procedure to change your selection.
I think that I'll turn my binary search including this time using method that is fastest to choose for all the humans (it lets remember me the Hall of Fame panel of cabinet videogames),
the previous one is good for other goals (just think when you play a videogame that let you choose the starting level from a panel).
Thanks for talking and sharing
PS
@SMcNeill Steve , I know you are professional and expert.... why do you post an Old BASIC style snippet? With all those CHR$?
It is great but so poor flexible and poor reusable! How many code Should I change to show the alphabet in QWERTY order at the place of natural order? :P
