Tux Typing
Tux Typing is an educational typing tutorial game starring
Tux, the Linux Penguin.
The player guides Tux to eat fish which are falling from the
top of the screen. Each fish has a letter written on it. When the
player presses
the corresponding key, Tux will position himself to eat the fish.
The game is intended for children learning to type, though it
does have higher difficulty levels which even experienced typists may
find challenging.
Features include:
- Fish Cascade - control Tux as he searches for fish to eat.
Fish fall from the top of the screen. These fish have letters on
them. Unforunately for Tux, eating a fish with a letter on it will
cause his
stomach to become ill, so it is up to you to help Tux eat fish
- Comet Zap - control Tux as he defends the cities from comets
- Lessons
- uses XML-based scripting to run various other parts of the program in
a specified order, including the "Practice" activity
- Practice - involves typing phrases or complete sentences,
with measurment of accuracy and typing speed
