Hi everyone, I just started out on a new project that tests your typing speed but ran into some issue i just can't seem to solve. First, the timer seems to go over the 10 second limit as shown below in the image url. Second, I can't seem to make to program verify the word the player inputs. It always outputs ~wrong~ as shown below in the image url. Each time I print a word from a list, it always prints with the [''] which makes the aesthetics of the game look unpleasant. So, I first thought the problem was due to me removing the [''] by using print(*x, "\n", sep = '')
so, I tried alternative inputs to see whether if I can get typed_word == x. However, it seems futile as shown in the image url. Also the reason why i asked the program to print(x) was so I could verify exactly what was being pulled from the list. Please I really need some help!!!
Image of the outputs:
The two lines that need code change to check for the correct word are :
#input is by default a string. so you don't have to convert it to str()
typed_word = input("type the word:")
#wordlist is a list of list.
#random.choice(wordlist) will give you a list from the list
#so you need to check typed_word against a list of length 1
if typed_word == x[0]:
Here's the full code for your reference. The only two lines I changed are the ones above and setting the values for start_time and time_limit
