A terminal-based typing game for Rust programmers. Practice typing real Rust code snippets to build muscle memory for Rust syntax and special characters.
Traditional typing tests use regular English text, but Rust programming requires typing special characters like {}, =>, ::, |x|, <T>, and &mut. Code Typing bridges this gap:
- 🦀 Rust-focused — 100 curated Rust code snippets
- 🎯 Real patterns — algorithms, data structures, traits, iterators, and more
- ⚡ Real-time feedback — see correct/incorrect characters instantly
- 📊 WPM & accuracy tracking — measure your improvement over time
- 📤 Output preview — see the expected output after completing code with
println!
cargo install code-typinggit clone https://github.com/wooyukit/code-typing
cd code-typing
cargo install --path .code-typingThat's it! Start typing the code you see on screen. The timer starts on your first keystroke. ⏱️
| Visual | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🎨 Syntax-highlighted text | Correctly typed characters |
| 🔴 Red underlined text | Incorrect characters |
| 🟡 Yellow cursor | Current position |
| 📊 Progress bar | Shows completion percentage |
When you complete a snippet:
- 📤 Output panel appears showing the expected
println!output (if any) - 🎖️ Performance rating based on WPM and accuracy: 🏆 LEGENDARY, ⭐ EXCELLENT, ✓ GOOD, or → COMPLETE
- ⏎ Press Enter for a new snippet or Esc to quit
| Key | Action |
