terminal-typing-tutor 0.1.0

Improve your touch-typing skills in the terminal, based on the GNU Typist program

Terminal Typing Tutor

A port of GNU Typist (GTypist)

Project Goals

GTypist is by far the best program I have used to learn how to type faster. However it is pretty outdated and has many potential features that can be added. I was initially going to just add to the C code, but decided to switch to Python for faster implementation. It is a tradeoff for speed, but so far the difference has not taken away from the program.

I tried to stick with the original program layout and how it did things as much as possible, both out of simplicity and respect to the original.

Install

pip install --user terminal-typing-tutor

Usage

in your terminal:

$ pip install terminal-typing-tutor
---> 100%
Successfully installed typer

$ ttt

Features

New

-- So far the only feature I have implemented is tracking all time WPM, and saving scores to ~/.config/terminal-typing-tutor directory -- This allows for saving typing scores long-term and between machines. -- I add terminal-typing-tutor to my dotfiles managed by stow so that they are saved to github

Lacking

-- There are features and also lessons missing from the original GTypist that I don't use. -- If there is anything you want added, feel free to create and issue or make a pull request, contributions are welcome and encouraged

License

I stuck with the original license of the project, this is my first real open source project, so please let me know if there are any standards or anything I should do better.
