Typing Test Written in C Programming Language
Tests User WPM in a variety of different modes.
Timed Mode: 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60s
Word Mode: 10, 25, 50, and 100 Words
Focuses on User's Typing Style and Provides Insights
Similar to my Typing-Teacher project, however this is more focused on analyzing user data, rather than UI, which was the focus of that project.
Uses ncurses library

Objectives

Clean Code
Memory Management
Intuitive UI
Learning C

How To Compile

Download source files
Install ncurses (If not already installed)
Compile Using gcc typing_test.c utilities.c -lncurses
OR: Run make using Makefile

How To Run

After obtaining your compiled Typing-Test-C program, simply run the program from your terminal. Keep in mind this program requires a words.txt file in the same directory as itself to generate word prompts.

Note: This program has only been tested in a color-supporting terminal. If you experience unexpected behavior, ensure your terminal supports color and text highlighting.

Development Status

First release goal: Target for first release is the end of November. (I'm a full time student so I work on this project when I can). The goal of the first release is to have a fully functional typing test. This means parsing user input for accuracy and WPM. The analysis of user keystrokes will be added in the second release.

First release goal reached! Find it here

Second release goal: The second release goal for this project is to have a much more refined project. I hope to have all modes implemented, the UI to automatically wrap the console size, and user keystroke analysis if time permits. I'm hoping to have this release out by early January. (It's finals season so I won't have much time to work on this project until late December)

Current status of project:

Code:

Reading of words.txt implemented
Random word picking implemented
Different test lengths implemented
Timed Tests to be implemented
Test results screen implemeted
Saving user stats to be implemented
Per-key stats to be implemented

UI:

Main menu implemented
Typing prompt in progress
Stats menu to be implemented
Settings menu to be implemented
