Ok, I’ve updated it so that it blocks on incorrect words. I think this works a lot better. It’ll keep people from getting confused when they make a mistake and it’ll force them to fix their mistakes. Thanks again for the feed back!

Yep, it counts punctuation. I’ve also had the problem of being off by one word too. It usually happens when I start to really get into the groove of things and just make one little mistake. I’m thinking of changing it so that if you don’t type the correct word, it’ll block on that word (without clearing out your inputted text) until you’ve typed the correct word.

Thanks for this feed back. I’d actually been wondering if that had been happening to anyone else. My other thought was to make it go character by character, but I like the idea of letting the user backspace to fix a word (so it doesn’t hurt there total “Words Correct” count).

Correction - I think it counts the punctuation, I just keep getting off by a word =D Sorry.

My comment– if the text for the text includes punctuation, include it in your validation. Or at least don’t have it count against you. I went three times getting almost every word wrong before I realized it was because I was typing the punctuation, which threw off the “which word is she on” results.

tramak - I can’t decide whether you’re trying to be helpful or whether you’re trying to be a dick. The way you worded your comment seems a little condescending. I appreciate friendly advice, but I’m not really sure that’s what the aim of your comment is.

What is your definition of “modern javascript programming”? And what is your main issue, that I have a set up where each block of the snake is its own div (pulled from a pool of 2,000 divs - not millions) rather than having a set up where the snake is drawn with the least number of divs?

I picked the implementation I did because I knew it’d be easy to implement and work with. Other than a possible improvement in load time (which I don’t think is that bad currently), I don’t really see a compelling reason to go back and change how the snake is drawn.

I should also add that my snake is much more responsive than your snake. Try creating a stair case effect with the snakes for the full length of the board (rapidly pressing the Left Arrow and then the Up Arrow). I can easily create the effect with my snake, but I cannot get your snake to do it for the full length of the board.

you could really learn modern javascript programming. Instead of using milions of div’s you can use only number of divs required to construct a snake and apply them position: absolute. Then you can move them around with top and left css style. the primer is my website.

btw, noone really cares about the old days. new days are here, and they are here to stay
