This application is a quick-draw action game designed to sharpen your reflexes and precision by striking targets the moment they appear on the screen. Key Features Focused Waiting Time: You can experience a sense of heightened focus within the silence before the signal, as indicated by the "Focus..." message. Reaction Time Measurement: The app measures your reaction time to the thousandth of a second when you swipe the target as soon as it is displayed. Intuitive Feedback: High immersion is achieved through sound effects mimicking a sword strike and visual effects that resemble brushstrokes. Performance History: Your past reaction speeds are saved in the "Results" section, allowing you to track your progress at any time.
