<p class=MsoNormal>Hi guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Seems like the discussion on the GSoC ideas are going
good. I would like to contribute some ideas for tuxtype this year:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I still think that the practice game is incomplete compared
to other games in tuxtype. The first thing about the practice game is that it
lacks practice content. This is not a big problem as anyone can add phrases to
the phrases.txt file. But the game doesn’t support multiline
phrases. It does support phrases of upto 2 lines long, but if the length
exceeds this, I doesn’t support that. I think that this is something to
look into. If a user wants to practice typing, he may want to type more than 2
lines. I think we should have something like scrollable text. That is, when we
go beyond the second line, the next line automatically comes below the current
line and the first line disappear. This must be done in a slow and nice way so
that the children using this will find it good.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The next idea I thought of was, instead of showing the time
between each keypress in the practice game, we can have something more eye
catching, so that the children may like it better. I propose something like a
graph showing the speed variation or something like Tux cycling on an exercise
machine, the speed which varies with the speed of the typing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would like to know your take on all these.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
