v0.9.0 — Typing Test joins the arcade

Mini Games gets a fourth game, Typing Test: a minimal, Monkeytype-style typing test inside the arcade modal.

New: Typing Test

Open it from the launcher or with Play Typing Test in the command palette.

• Test options:
  • Time mode (15 / 30 / 60 / 120 seconds) or words mode (10 / 25 / 50 / 100 words).
  • Choose words from the top 200, 1k or 10k English words.
  • Optional punctuation and numbers. Your settings are remembered.
• Typing:
  • The test starts on your first keystroke. Letters show as correct, incorrect or extra, with a smooth caret and text that scrolls by whole lines.
  • Backspace corrects, and ⌥ / Ctrl + Backspace deletes a word. A word you got wrong can be revisited.
  • Tab restarts.
• Results:
  • wpm, accuracy, raw wpm, consistency, time, and the correct / incorrect / extra / missed breakdown.
  • A per-second speed chart with mistakes marked.
  • A personal best for every test setup, plus Next test and Repeat test.
• Plays well with Agent Code: typing only goes to the test while it has focus. Other inputs and Agent Code shortcuts keep their keys, and the game follows your Agent Code theme.

The launcher now shows all four games in one row.

Word list

The words are the 10,000 most frequent plain English words, generated from wordfreq by Robyn Speer. The list is distributed under CC BY-SA 4.0, with full attribution in the data file and the README. Profanity is filtered out.

Requires an Agent Code build that includes the extension platform (API v2), same as v0.8.0.
