Amplivyn Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 This is perhaps one of the best browser games out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I got accuracy of 81.6%, 44.2 words p/minute. Not sure if that's good or bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian F. Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I think I need to disable my alt key for this.. Managed to hit in the middle of a wording containing "x".. Really nice game though, perfect for those of us who've felt that practising touch typing was a chore. I know of a few teachers whom I shall introduce this game to.

requinix Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I got accuracy of 81.6%, 44.2 words p/minute. Not sure if that's good or bad? I've noticed programmers are not as fast or accurate at typing normal sentences than non-programmers (who type a similar amount). We may use the keyboard a lot but we use it differently than, say, office secretaries. As for the game... man, that font can be annoying. t and f and l and j all look the same to me, and when the word is "tend" you really need to know what that first letter is. And when I hit "l" or "f" incorrectly and start typing some completely different word, that really throws me off. Especially when the words stack on top of each other and you can't read them accurately. Annoyances aside it's great typing practice. Oh. Saw a couple NSFW words too, like one you might say after "I'm". That was funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
