Reaction Time Calculator

I designed an interactive program with Python that allows a player to test his or her reaction time.

Once a player starts my interactive program, the terminal prompts will ask him or her to press the ENTER key when they see the word PIKACHU. My program would test a player’s reaction time for 30 trials and give summary results of reaction time in the end. Notice that the reaction time measured in my program is the time when a player sees the word PIKACHU to the time him or her hit the ENTER key on the keyboard.

Here is a video demo of myself testing my reaction time. Here is the python code for my interactive program! Feel free to git clone my folder and run “python reaction-time-calculator.py” in my folder to launch the program!
