[carls]

Your score: 131
Max score: 436

(Edit: Sorry, my score was 131, not 130. I missed one question)

[carls]

i got 197. Is this a proper purity test (IE the higher the score, the less your life has been affected by Amiga)?

No, it's reversed... The higher score, the more Amiga-31337 you are :-)

@1500
Well, I don't think 89 is bad. For example, if you have 30 Amigas you get 30 points for that. Some answers gives more than one point. Check the HTML source to see how unfair I've been :-)

[carls]

@Wain
It would have given you the same points anyway, so don't feel bad about it. If I would list EVERY piece of hardware you would die of old age before reaching the end ;-)

[carls]

I just made a test run with very scarce answers but still not what I would consider an Amiga illiterate. I ended up with 42 points.

Perhaps it's too hard to score high... Well, at least it's equally hard for all :-)

I did not get any number,
but a comment:

"Yeah right! Be honest!!"

No you didn't

dotest.php:
$questioncount=247;
$tpoints=0;
$maxpoints=436;

while(list($k,$v)=each($_POST)) {
  if(stristr($k,"cb")) $tpoints+=$v;
}

print("Your score: " . $tpoints . "
");
print("Max score: " . $maxpoints . "

The higher score the better, IE not like the standard \"purity tests\".");

?>


(Edit: Yes. I know it's a dirty hack. What did you expect?)

[carls]

@xeron
You're absolutely right :-)

[carls]

Feels good to see that so many of you like the test :-)

For correctness, it has been renamed to "Amiga Eleetness Test".

Would be fun to see if anyone can go beyond 270, you'd have to have a lot of hardware and be a very productive person to pull that through :-)

@iamaboringperson

I want to know why COBOL was there?

Some alternatives are just thrown in for fun. How about Snobol, Smalltalk and AZap? Or the last question...

@that_punk_guy

Well, you can't please everyone now can you :-)
The test is for fun. It's not a competition.

I just figure that if you own for example a Video Toaster, a TBC, a framegrabber and a digitizer you have been/are working professionally with your Amiga, which in turn makes you more Amiga Eleet :-)

[carls]

@Bloodline
Yup, at least I think AROS is Amiga related. (It's also mentioned in the "OS Projects" question)

@Lecta
Sorry, I don't log anything like that. Perhaps I should, though... :-)

@Dan
Well, search Aminet for Blazemonger and you just might find out.
Also, you could pick Snobol instead of Modula-2. The bizarreness factor should even out :-)
Oh, by the way. Scala's scripting language is called "Lingua" and I already have a Scala option in the Graphics/Multimedia section of the test.

[carls]

@nrose
Bizarre as in non-mainstream. I bet there's a lot more people who know C, C++ or even Assembler than there is Modula-2 coders. :-)

PHP for the ultra-simple score counting.

carls@gonzo:~/web/amipure$ cat dotest.php
//$questioncount=247;
$tpoints=0;
$maxpoints=436;

while(list($k,$v)=each($_POST)) {
  if(stristr($k,"cb")) $tpoints+=$v;
}

print("Your score: " . $tpoints . "
");
print("Max score: " . $maxpoints . "

The higher score the better, IE not like the standard \"purity tests\".");
