TPractice (simple game)

2007

TPractice (Target Practice) is a simple game designed to improve hand-eye coordination. I threw it together over the weekend, as I noticed my right hand often misses the mark with the mouse. I thought I might benefit from some practice. Coloured balls are launched on the screen; the goal is to click as closely to the center of the ball as possible--as quickly as possible (your score is based on both time and accuracy). The balls last onscreen for ten seconds; your time-based score runs down to zero at five seconds, and stays there.

There are controls for the speed of the simulation, the interval between balls appearing, and Smarts (where a random motion is introduced every so often).

Naturally, this being a video game, there is a high-score function. The ten highest scores are remembered, along with the Date+Time and the control settings.

This game is deceptively simple and mildly addictive.
