⌨️ Code Typing

A terminal-based typing game for Rust programmers. Practice typing real Rust code snippets to build muscle memory for Rust syntax and special characters.

🤔 Why Code Typing?

Traditional typing tests use regular English text, but Rust programming requires typing special characters like {}, =>, ::, |x|, <T>, and &mut. Code Typing bridges this gap:

• 🦀 Rust-focused — 100 curated Rust code snippets
• 🎯 Real patterns — algorithms, data structures, traits, iterators, and more
• ⚡ Real-time feedback — see correct/incorrect characters instantly
• 📊 WPM & accuracy tracking — measure your improvement over time
• 📤 Output preview — see the expected output after completing code with println!

🚀 Installation

From crates.io

cargo install code-typing

From source

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

🎬 Usage

code-typing

That's it! Start typing the code you see on screen. The timer starts on your first keystroke. ⏱️

🎮 Gameplay

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

⌨️ Controls

📚 Code Samples Include

• 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

📋 Requirements

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

💡 Tips for Improving

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
