typatro 1.0.8

TYPATRO — a slot-machine typing roguelike for your terminal

TYPATRO

A slot-machine typing roguelike for your terminal. Type fast, build Chips x Mult, beat Blinds, collect Jokers, and climb Antes — all wrapped in a casino-felt TUI with slot-reel animations.

Features

• Slot machine feel — reel-spin title intro, odometer score tally that rolls as you type, digit-spin result reveals
• Balatro-inspired game panel — left sidebar with your current Blind, live Round Score (Chips x Mult), and held Jokers
• Chips x Mult scoring — +1 chip per correct character, +10 per word, mult scales with accuracy and error-free streaks
• Blinds — Small, Big, and Boss Blinds with score targets; bosses impose debuffs (hidden mistakes, minimum speed, no backspace, forced accuracy)
• Jokers — beat a blind, pick 1 of 3; up to 5 held jokers modify your scoring
• Ante loop — Small -> Big -> Boss, then the next ante with higher targets; run state persists between sessions
• Classic mode — a plain typing test when you just want to practice

Install

Requires Python 3.9+.

pip install typatro

To pin a specific version:

pip install typatro==1.0.7

Then run:

typatro

A Nerd Font improves the icons but isn't required.

Play

typatro            # run mode (default)
typatro --classic  # plain typing test

How a run works

1. The sidebar shows your current Blind and its score target
2. Type the paragraph — the Round Score odometer rolls up with every keystroke
3. Hit the target before the test ends to beat the blind
4. Pick a Joker and advance; bosses add debuffs and bigger targets
5. Lose a blind? Retry it. Want a fresh start? Settings -> Danger Zone -> Reset Run
