My project topic is building a speed typing game that tested people’s WPM.
-
It ended up being based around a function that made a car move faster or slower depending on whether the player gets faster or slower at accurately typing in the quote and hitting the period to submit it.
-
I had a difficult time figuring out how to make all the pieces fit together for a while. I watched tutorials and talked to AI and tried things again.
-
I did figure out what happens when your car gets to the right side of the screen while the timer is still going and the speed should be too (it disappears).
-
I did not want to make it come out again starting on the left side, though!
-
I would like to figure out how to make the car be infinitely scrolling like the road so it still seems like it keeps slowing down or speeding up (but without ever hitting the right hand side).
-
I think the answer is probably to use parallax scrolling in a game where the background goes at a different speed. I would need to figure that out!
-
I would also want to add really short quotes or single words to type that pop up every ten seconds in a level-up round so you can answer quickly and speed it up faster to make it more fun
