Tux Typing
Tux Typing is an educational typing tutor 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.
Tux4Kids is developing a complete, graphical user interface
based administration/configuration program for Tux Typing, Tux Math,
and Tux Paint.
Features include:
- 2 different games for practising your typing:
- 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. Unfortunately 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
- Variety of difficulty levels
- Phrases and finger lessons
- Lessons use XML-based scripting to run various other parts
of the program in a specified order, including the "Practice" activity
- Word list editor
