So I am working on creating a batch file game analogious to a "Memory" game. (ie where the player is presented a list of objects for a short time, then asked to repeat the pattern)
My problem comes in how to decrease the time the pattern is exposed to the player as the round # increases.
Here is my current code:
@echo off
set /a y=50
set /a x=1000
:foo
set /a y=%y% + %y%
set /a x= %x% - %y%
echo %y%
echo %x%
ping -n 10 -w %x% 127.0.0.1 > nul
goto foo
When run, the above code does present x and y values that change as expected, however the wait time is always the same. Why is this and how can I fix it?
Thank you for your time.
Firstly why dont you use sleep? It would work fine (type sleep /? for more info)
However, here is another way of doing this with for /l loops
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set score=0
title Memory Test : Current Score = !score!
for /l %%a in (0,1,20) do (
Rem In the above sequence, increase 20 to the amount of times you want the test to be performed
set number[%%a] = !random!!random!
echo Number: !number[%%a]!
set /a wait=21-%%a
set /a wait=!wait!*1000/4
sleep -m !wait!
cls
set /p "input=What was the last number youy saw? "
if !number[%%a]! equ "!input!" (
set /a score=!score!+1
Echo Correct !
title Memory Test : Current Score = !score!
)else(
Echo Incorrect! Coreect Answer = !number[%%a]!
)
)
echo Calculating score...
pause
cls
echo.
if %score% leq 14 set msg="Nice Try! But you can do better!"
if %score% geq 15 set msg="Good Job! Your on your way to the top!"
if %score% equ 20 set msg="Your So Close! Almost a perfect socre!"
if %score% equ 21 set msg="You got a perfect score! Woderful!"
Echo %score%/21 : %msg%
echo.
pause
And that should work fine. Note you can change how long the test goes for, but for the first game they'll have a bit more then 5 seconds to study the question, and in the last round a quarter of a second!
