By Theetouch Kasemarnontana

About the application

This project is a graphical user interface for practicing your typing speed skill through the game.

Input player name and waiting page for loading information from the sheets also for players to prepare themself.

Game play and show “Game Over” when you missed 10 words.

When the game ends, the player information will be written to google sheets.

(You can check the score board through this link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-j8qRJTLG_u9n3AWTVQ5B-N2fLM3Kz1xL0wvH88Pfv4/edit#gid=0 )
