What I asked ChatGPT and what did ChatGPT awnser?

Question: Write a shell script word typing game with 100 words and each word to type is 5 seconds and have to keep typing words until the user types 'end' to finish the game and shows the result score

Awnser:

Creating a shell script for a word typing game involves using a loop to present words to the user, measuring the time it takes for each word, and keeping track of the score. Here's a simple implementation of the game:

#!/bin/bash

# Array containing 100 random words
words=(
  "apple" "banana" "orange" "grape" "kiwi" "strawberry" "melon" "pineapple" "pear" "mango"
  "cherry" "blueberry" "peach" "lemon" "watermelon" "apricot" "plum" "pomegranate" "coconut" "raspberry"
  # Add more words here...
)

# Function to display a random word
get_random_word() {
  local word_index=$((RANDOM % ${#words[@]}))
  echo "${words[$word_index]}"
}

# Function to calculate score
calculate_score() {
  local correct_words=$1
  local total_words=${#words[@]}
  local percentage=$((correct_words * 100 / total_words))
  echo "Your Score: $correct_words / $total_words ($percentage%)"
}

echo "Welcome to the Word Typing Game!"
echo "Type each word and press Enter. You have 5 seconds per word."
echo "Type 'end' to finish the game."

correct_count=0
while true; do
  word_to_type=$(get_random_word)
  echo "Word: $word_to_type"

  # Start measuring time
  start_time=$(date +%s)

  # Read user input
  read -t 5 user_input

  # End the game if the user types 'end'
  if [ "$user_input" = "end" ]; then
    break
  fi

  # End measuring time
  end_time=$(date +%s)
  time_taken=$((end_time - start_time))

  if [ "$user_input" = "$word_to_type" ] && [ "$time_taken" -le 5 ]; then
    echo "Correct!"
    ((correct_count++))
  else
    echo "Wrong or Time's up!"
  fi

done

calculate_score $correct_count

Save this script to a file, e.g., word_typing_game.sh, and make it executable using chmod +x word_typing_game.sh. Then, run the script with ./word_typing_game.sh.

The game will present a random word from the list and give the user 5 seconds to type the word correctly. The user can keep typing words until they type 'end' to finish the game. After the game ends, the script will display the user's score based on the number of correctly typed words out of 100.
