A terminal-based typing game for programmers. Practice typing real code snippets across 10 languages to build muscle memory for the syntax and special characters you actually type.

Traditional typing tests use plain English, but code is full of characters you rarely drill — {}, =>, ::, |x|, <T>, &mut, and more. Code Typing bridges that gap across 10 languages:

• 🌐 10 languages — 🦀 Rust · 🐍 Python · 🟨 JavaScript · 🟦 TypeScript · 🐹 Go · ☕ Java · 🟪 Kotlin · 🐦 Swift · 🔧 C · ➕ C++
• 🎯 Real patterns — algorithms, data structures, idioms, and more
• ⚡ Real-time feedback — see correct/incorrect characters instantly, with per-language syntax highlighting
• 📊 WPM & accuracy tracking — measure your improvement over time
• 📤 Output preview — see the expected output after finishing a snippet (where available)

cargo install code-typing

git clone https://github.com/wooyukit/code-typing
cd code-typing
cargo install --path .

code-typing

That's it! Pick a language from the menu, then start typing the code you see on screen. The timer starts on your first keystroke. ⏱️

When you complete a snippet:

• 📤 Output panel appears showing the expected println! output (if any)
• 🎖️ Performance rating based on WPM and accuracy: 🏆 LEGENDARY, ⭐ EXCELLENT, ✓ GOOD, or → COMPLETE
• ⏎ Press Enter for a new snippet or Esc to quit

Choose a language from the start menu. Each ships curated snippets — Rust has ~100; the others (Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Java, Kotlin, Swift, C, C++) ship a focused starter set that's easy to extend.

The Rust set covers:

• Algorithms — QuickSort, Binary Search, Merge Sort, DFS, BFS, Dijkstra
• Data Structures — Linked List, Binary Tree, Stack, Queue, HashMap, BTreeMap, VecDeque
• Classic Problems — FizzBuzz, Two Sum, Valid Parentheses, Fibonacci
• Rust Patterns — Iterators, Closures, Traits, Generics, Error Handling
• Smart Pointers — Box, Rc, RefCell, Arc, Cow, PhantomData
• Traits — From/Into, Drop, Deref, AsRef, Default, Display, PartialEq/Ord, Hash, Index
• Concurrency — Mutex, RwLock, Channels, Threads, Arc
• Design Patterns — Builder, Newtype, Type State
• Advanced Iterators — fold, reduce, partition, peekable, flatten, flat_map

• Rust 1.70+ (for installation)
• Terminal with Unicode support
• Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows

1. 🎯 Focus on accuracy first — Speed comes naturally with muscle memory
2. ⚡ Pay attention to special characters — {}, (), <>, ::, => are common in code
3. 📐 Practice indentation — Use Tab for consistent spacing
4. ☕ Take breaks — Short, focused sessions are more effective
