New Arcade Game "Taps"

Sure! Below is a simple implementation of a text-based game called "Taps" in Ruby. The premise of the game is that players take turns "tapping" and whoever taps the button (presses a key) the most in a limited time wins. Here's a simple version of how you could implement it: ```ruby class TapsGame attr_accessor :player1_score, :player2_score def initialize @player1_score = 0 @player2_score = 0 @duration = 10 # duration of the game in seconds end def start_game puts "Welcome to Taps!" puts "Player 1 and Player 2, get ready to tap for #{duration} seconds!" puts "Press 'Enter' to tap!" start_time = Time.now end_time = start_time + @duration # Create threads for each player to tap simultaneously player1_thread = Thread.new { player_tap(1) } player2_thread = Thread.new { player_tap(2) } # Wait for the game duration while Time.now < end_time sleep(0.1) # Just to prevent busy-waiting end # Stop the tapping puts "\nTime's up! The game has ended." player1_thread.join player2_thread.join # Display the scores display_scores end def player_tap(player_number) loop do gets # waits for Enter key to be pressed if player_number == 1 @player1_score += 1 else @player2_score += 1 end end rescue Interrupt # Handle if the player manually interrupts the tapping puts "Player #{player_number} has stopped tapping." end def display_scores puts "Final Scores:" puts "Player 1: #{@player1_score}" puts "Player 2: #{@player2_score}" if @player1_score > @player2_score puts "Player 1 wins!" elsif @player2_score > @player1_score puts "Player 2 wins!" else puts "It's a tie!" end end end # Start the game game = TapsGame.new game.start_game ``` ### How to Run the Game 1. Copy the code above and paste it into a new file called `taps_game.rb`. 2. Open your terminal or command prompt. 3. Navigate to the directory where you saved `taps_game.rb`. 4. Run the script using the command: `ruby taps_game.rb`. ### How to Play - The game allows two players to participate. - Each player should be ready to press the 'Enter' key to "tap" as quickly as possible within the set duration (10 seconds). - At the end of the game, the final scores are displayed, indicating who won, or if it was a tie. Feel free to modify the duration or other aspects of the game if you wish!
