Riddle me this, Batmen... easy for most, hard for me! When I run this bit of code, I expect Score to be 10,20,30...
If I then delay beyond the 5 seconds allowed and enter N$ again, I expect the score to be 39 (which it is)
But if I then enter N$ again (within the 5 seconds allowed), I get 50, instead of the 49 I expect. What am I doing wrong?

Code: (Select All)
Pick = 0
GetInput:
T1 = Timer: ' start timer
Input N$
Pick = Pick + 1
T2 = Timer ' read timer again
TimePenalty = Int((T2 - T1) / 5) ' penalty 5 points per second since last input
Score = Pick * 10 - TimePenalty ' calculate score as Pick * 10 - TimePenalty
Print "Pick:"; Str$(Pick); " t1:"; Str$(T1); " t2:"; T2; " Timepenalty:"; TimePenalty; " Score:"; Score
GoTo GetInput
