typeitnow 0.1.4

A terminal-based typing game inspired by bop it.

typeitnow

typeitnow is a HIGH-PRESSURE terminal-based game inspired by Bop It. As the player, you're tasked with typing in the words presented to you before the timer runs out. It has multiple difficulties, and can be played for fun or to practice touch-typing. The initial idea was to have the player press a single key, which is more similar to Bop It. That idea was more fun to implement, but less fun to play(to me). Maybe I'll add it back as an option. Hope you have fun! :)

OS

typeitnow works on Linux and Windows. On Mac, there may be an SSL license issue. For me, this was resolved by installing python with the installer provided by python.org, and afterwards navigating to /Applications/Python 3.x/ then double-clicking Install Certificates.command.

Tested on Arch Linux, Windows 11, and MacOS Ventura.

Installation

1. FluidSynth (2.0.0 or later) is required. You can find instructions on how to install it here: FluidSynth Download

2. Install typeitnow with pip.

   pip install typeitnow
   

3. Run typeitnow in your terminal. It will automatically download typeitnow/undertale.sf2 to your user cache directory, which varies by OS. You can find the exact directory in the platformdirs documentation, just in case you want to delete it later.
