The mathematical reflex test was developed entirely by myself on a standard Amiga 500. It was written in Aztec C v5.0a. Previous to this version there have been two commercial releases and two shareware releases. (Jumpdisk, Megadisc, Fish). This is the final version. For those of you who remember my two previous Reflex Tests I have deleted one category and added two more. I have deleted the category of fractions and added the category of mixed and percentages. I was going to incorporate a couple more categories (dollars and decimals) but the game was becoming too hard so I left them out. Instructions... Playing the game is very simple. In fact, when you load this game up for the first time and play with it for a few minutes you shouldn't really need to consult this doc file unless something is unclear. Here is a quick overview, Once you have selected a category from the main menu you will be presented with a certain amount of blank rectangles. In each rectangle a question will pop up, one at a time. You must answer these questions as fast as possible. Once you have answered all the questions you will receive a final percentage mark based upon your time and the number of questions you answered correctly. You will also receive your position in relation to your current high score list. There are seven categories for you to choose from. The categories of algebra and division require a one digit answer while the remaining categories require a two digit answer. When entering a two digit answer you can erase the first digit either by pressing backspace or the asterisk key on the numeric keypad. Once an answer has been entered the next question will pop up and your last answer is irrevocable. Submitting your high scores... If you do decide to submit your high scores you must submit the following, - your final percentage mark - your time - number of correct responses - which category It might be a good idea to print out the following high score sheet, ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | Correct | | | | Name | Category | responses | Time | Final Mark | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | eg, Jason Lowe | addition | 27 | 96.4 | 58.564% | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
