Show more stats at end of each test

[Mithil467]

Currently we are only displaying the typing speed. We can add other attributes like Accuracy and Time taken nearby.

I have interest in doing this and I'm going to open a PR during Hacktoberfest!
Can you give me more details?

[Mithil467]

Hi @gudeliauskaspam 👋
Thanks for your interest!

Currently we are displaying the following test at the end of the test:

 Your typing speed is  61.20  WPM

 Press  Enter  to see a replay! 

We can also display additional stats such as:

 Your typing speed is  61.20  WPM
 Time taken: 35 sec
 Accuracy: 92.3 %

 Press  Enter  to see a replay! 

Feel free to suggest different ways to do so, or different stats if you have them on your mind! 💚

I want to count how many times the user typed wrong, do you mind giving a tip of in which part of the code can I implement it?
I'm a beginner and I'm having a little trouble to understand some parts.
Thanks! :)

[Mithil467]

No problem @gudeliauskaspam :)

Firstly you might need a class property to keep track of mistyped characters' count. That property e.g. mistyped_char_count should go inside class App() declaration in app.py. The method to calculate the accuracy should go into calculations.py.

check_word method in app.py should give you some info about checking mistyped characters.

Please feel free to ask further help or clarification if required 👍🏼

Hey @gudeliauskaspam 👋
Havent heard from you in a while.
Just wanted to know whether you are still interested in working on this issue?

[p4mela-g]

Hey! sorry for the lack of information, I'm still working on it, I was a little busy with college, next week I'll open the pull request.

[p4mela-g]

Heyy @Mithil467,
I have a question I would like to share.
When we type an incorrect character if we give backspace we can correct it, even if we have this option, do you think that the accuracy implementation still makes sense?

[Mithil467]

Yes it does! @gudeliauskaspam

If user types any character, we increment total_chars_typed (ignoring keys like backspace).
If user types a wrong character, we increment wrongly_typed_char_count.

We would use this formula Accuracy = (total_chars_typed - wrongly_typed_char_count) / total_chars_typed.

So if user hits a wrong key, we immediately take a note of it. Now even if they corrects it, the accuracy has been recorded.

Does this clarify things? If not feel free to ask :)

@gudeliauskaspam #56 was opened a few days ago to add time taken stat. So let's try and get it merged if possible.

We still have other stats to implement like the accuracy stat which you may work on :)

[p4mela-g]

Oh sorry, I will work on it as soon as possible!

[Mithil467]

Was just notifying you about it :)
No worries 👍🏼

[p4mela-g]

Dooone! :)
