This is a small program that will make a list of colors, written in words. However, these words are written in different colors than the word says. For example, the word RED is written in blue. The objective is to read down the list of colors and to say the color that the word is written in, not the actual word. For our RED example, you would have to say blue. You may have heard of this elsewhere. You need to read the list quickly for it to be fun. It's harder than it sounds! The title of the window has further instructions. Yes, I know this could have been done in fewer lines. You need to be able to support a certain Display Mode. Try it!


EDIT: This was made in DBPro by the way, and it is untested in DBC.

Does not work in DBC. I believe it is because of the (global) var's declaration.

I took the global out of it since it wasn't being changed in the code. Does it work for DBC now?

Nope. So far I've found the extra integer in set display mode is not a parameter in DBC and neither are the commands in one of the box commands. Sorry.

It doesn't have the same background as the one for DBP (it looks like it has a kind of shadow on it), but this should work for DBC. If I'm wrong please say which command doesn't work.

This is a well known phenom known as the "Stroop Effect" it is quite interesting. It is the way the mind does both sight reading and color recognition and how it can get bogged down slightly by mixing the wrong names and colors and trying to identify the color.

I figured out a trick to do these awhile ago, tilt your head 90 degrees, and it's alot harder to read the words which makes saying the colors easier.

"Did I ever tell you how I got the nickname the Dragon of the West?"
"I'm not interested in a lengthy anecdote, Uncle."
"It's more of a demonstration really."

Yes, and covering up almost all of the word works too. But it is hard to do without cheating.
