New Year Challenges

Happy New Year and welcome to another set of monly challenges for Small Basic, Challenge of the Month - January 2015.

Small Challenge

• Write a TextWindow program to read in some numbers from a user.  It continues to read them in until the user enters something that isn't a number.  When a set of numbers are input, calculate the average of the numbers and ask the user if they want to do it again.
• Try to do it without using any GoTo statements; use Arrays, While, If and For statements.

Intermediate Challenge

• Write a program to record key strokes and replay them later.  Prefereably replay with the same time intervals, like a Macro Record and Play.

Game Challenge

• Write a maze game that is navigated by the turtle, using arrow keys.
• Perhaps add a timer to see how quickly the player can navigate the maze.
• The trickiest bit will be preventing the turtle cross maze boundaries - perhaps share suggestions for this bit.

Graphics Challenge

• Draw some Lissajous Figures in the GraphicsWindow.

Community Suggestions (by Nonki)

• Draw a sine curve in TextWindow.
• Draw ASCII art in TextWindow.
• Create a simple text browser for TextWindow which shows only text from an internet page.
