Catch the Ghost V1.2

Catch the ghost! (UPDATED: V1.2) I wrote this program to test your reaction times. Start the program then click your mouse when the "ghost" shows. After ten times the program will tell you your timings and offer to save a screenshot (in the current directory) and optionally upload it to an image hosting service. It's useful to test (and improve) your reaction times and to check your reaction times during the day; try it at different times and you will see that your results will change. A similar approach should be used IMHO to start your car; in this way if you drank too much, or if you are too sleepy, your car will just not start :) Again. this program is donation-ware: if you like it and use it regularly, hit the donation button. Note: the main difference between this program and many others you may find online, is that this program uses high resolution (and very accurate) timers which are not available in modern browsers. Upon request I can code customized versions. D
