Taps (or clicks) per Minute

Hello Everyone,
How can i determine at which BPM (beat or touch or click per minute) is the user tapping on the screen at in a C# script?

Thanks!

 

There's two way I can see to skin this cat.

#1 Compare this click time to last few click times to calculate the difference in time between individual clicks. Divide one minute by the time you calculated. This will give you the instantaneous clicks per minute if the user clicked the button consistently (i.e steady click rate). I'd use this more like a power up button click measure. Has the user pressed the button repeatedly fast enough for a given number of clicks?

#2 Make a list to store click times. Add click times to the list as user enters them. Remove clicks older than one minute. Divide one minute by the number of clicks in the list. This will give you a historical clicks per minute regardless of the cadence the user clicked (i.e clicking on the mouse at once at one second, waiting, clicking at 10,10.1,10.2 seconds would give you 4 clicks per minute).

 

Thanks for your reply BPPHarv,
What i am trying to achieve is to calculate the average clicks per minute, not the effective ones.

If the player clicks the mouse 4 times in 3 seconds, i want to average how many clicks that would be in a minute.

I believe the first option is the correct one!?

 

What did you ask about the Click Per minute game?

 

The clicks per second are always better than seconds...
