Typing Speed Game
Project Title
Typing Speed Game (using Angular)
Project Summary
The Typing Speed Game is an educational and entertaining web application that helps users test and improve their typing speed and accuracy. Built using Angular, the game presents users with random words or sentences which they must type correctly within a time limit. The game calculates the user’s words per minute (WPM), accuracy, and typing errors.
Core Features
- Word/Sentence Generation: Randomly displays words or sentences that the player needs to type.
- Real-time Typing Detection: Captures and analyzes user input in real time to compare it with the target text.
- Timer: A countdown timer limits the time users have to type, typically 30–60 seconds per round.
- WPM Calculation: Computes Words Per Minute based on correct inputs and time taken.
- Accuracy Scoring: Tracks the number of correct characters typed versus total characters typed.
- Error Highlighting: Shows mistakes as the user types, helping them identify where they went wrong.
- Game Restart and Results Display: Shows final results after the timer ends, including WPM, accuracy, and number of errors, with an option to play again.
- Responsive UI: Works well on both desktop and mobile devices for accessibility and usability.
Technologies Used
- Angular: To build the main UI, handle typing logic, user input, and display dynamic updates like timer countdown and score.
- Angular Services: To manage the game state (timer, word list, typing progress, score tracking).
- RxJS: For real-time data handling and managing countdown timers efficiently.
- CSS/SCSS: For styling the text display area, input field, and result screen with a clean and responsive layout.
- TypeScript: Used to write clean and maintainable game logic and event handling.
Learning Outcomes
- Implementing real-time user input handling in Angular.
- Calculating typing metrics (WPM, accuracy, errors) using live data.
- Managing reactive data and timers with Angular and RxJS.
- Creating a responsive and interactive Angular-based application.
- Enhancing UI with visual feedback on user input and performance.
Possible Enhancements
- Add different difficulty levels (e.g., short words vs. long sentences).
- Include a practice mode with no time limit.
- Show real-time stats as the user types.
- Add a leaderboard to track top scores.
- Implement sound feedback for correct and incorrect inputs.
- Offer multilingual typing challenges for language learning.
- Store progress using local storage or a backend database.
