Title: A fun but hard typing game.
Post by: trax on Fri, 20 December 2013, 18:57:24

I saw this over on /r/programming, I've been playing it for a few minutes and I have to say it becomes challenging  :thumb:

It kind of "skips" (sorry for not knowing the technical term" when it scrolls to the side. Gives me a head ache but kind of fun! :p

My personal best is 150 wpm on 10fastfingers but this is actually pretty challenging.  :thumb:

Really hard. Even though I touch type around 90 WPM on 10fastfingers, I find myself thinking about where the keys are for some reason. Not just hard, but confusing as well.

Wow, ok... that was neat... I guess it get difficult because the letter combinations don't really make any sense.  There are logical patterns and memory for what needs to come next in normal words, but this is just craziness.   Not sure why I felt the need to verbalize that.  Anyway, thanks for posting it!

For difficuty in typing games, I recommend Typeracer Death Mode.

It requires 100% accuracy, so watch out! Backspace lovers need not apply.

I'm confused, I don't think the game actually increases in difficulty. I played for like 15 minutes straight and as long as I went for greens/teals it never actually got any harder. I'm tempted to look at the code to see if they actually increase a "base" speed or something. If they don't... it's just an endurance test.
