+title: Test your knowledge

+
+Having explored this leg of the journey you are now approaching a rest stop and a chance to practice and reflect. Test what you have learnt by creating one or more of the following programs:
+
+- [Simple Writing](/book/part-0-getting-started/3-building-programs/3-explore/3-3-classic-quote/) using the terminal.
+- [Simple Drawing](/book/part-0-getting-started/3-building-programs/3-explore/3-4-paint-me/) using the Splashkit library.

+Write a tiny terminal application that simply greets the user and prints the opening line of your favourite book
+
+```txt
+Welcome to the classic-quote generator!
+
+“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
+
+```
+
+Or, Level‑up by presenting the greeting inside a very simple terminal‑based user interface — think of those chunky boxes you see in retro command‑line tools. Use a classic sci‑fi computer quote for the salutation. Example shown with HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
+
+```txt
++--------------------------------------------------+
+|                                                  |
+|   Good evening, Dave. I’m HAL 9000.              |
+|   "I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that." |
+|                                                  |
++--------------------------------------------------+
+```
+
+Stick to the commands and concepts we’ve already covered (e.g., WriteLine / print equivalents). Avoid extra prompts or calculations—keep it truly minimal.
