This game tests a player's reaction time. It is activated by closing switch SI, which starts the tone generator and arms the circuit. The touchplate, labeled PLAY in the diagram, consists of two metal strips about 1/16th inch apart. The first player to bridge the gap with their finger turns off the tone and lights the associated LED indicator. A second touchplate, labeled CLR in the diagram, clears the circuit, extinguishing the LED when its gap is bridged by a fingertip.

The described circuit serves as a reaction time game, utilizing a simple yet effective design to measure and display player responses. The core components include a tone generator, two touchplates, an LED indicator, and a switch.

Upon activation of the circuit by closing switch SI, the tone generator begins to emit sound, signaling that the game is in progress. The circuit is armed and ready for player interaction. The PLAY touchplate, constructed from two metal strips spaced approximately 1/16th inch apart, acts as the primary input for player interaction. When a player touches the gap between the strips, they complete the circuit, causing the tone to cease and activating the LED indicator to signal that the player has successfully reacted.

The second touchplate, labeled CLR, serves the function of resetting the game. It allows players to clear the LED indicator and prepare the circuit for the next round. When a fingertip bridges the gap of the CLR touchplate, the circuit resets, extinguishing the LED and allowing for a new game to commence.

This circuit design emphasizes user interaction and rapid response, making it an engaging tool for testing reaction times. The simplicity of the components ensures ease of construction and understanding, while the visual feedback provided by the LED enhances the user experience by clearly indicating the outcome of each round. Careful attention to the spacing of the touchplates and the sensitivity of the tone generator can further enhance the responsiveness and enjoyment of the game.This game tests a player"s reaction time.
