Typit

There is no specific key bindings for this game, just launch it and begin typing. Use C-g to exit the game at any time.

There are two difficulties:

  • beginner: use 200 most common words
  • expert: use 1000 most common words

By default a game duration is one minute.

The game can be customized with the following variables:

Vsariable Description
typit-dict Language dictionary to use (default is english.txt)
typit-dict-dir A directory path where to find dictionaries
typit-line-length Length of generated lines (default 80)
typit-test-time Duration of a game in seconds (default 60)

Create a new dictionary

To add a new dictionary, you need to create a text file named your-language.txt and put it under the dict directory. That file should contain 1000 most common words from the language, a word per line. Please make sure that it uses Unix-style (that is, LF) end-of-line sequence and the file ends with a newline.
