Instructions
This program helps you improving your typing skills by playing a simple game: characters are falling down the screen; you have to stop them before they reach the ground by pressing the corresponding key on the keyboard.
You can use the the lesson plan window do select which keys you want to practice with (NB: changing the keys in the lesson plan changes the keyset of the next game, not the one, if any, that's already in progress).
At the end of each "game" you can look at the Performance evaluation window to see how well you have done, and to receive advice on what to do next.
History
In 1991 a program with the same name (later changed to "Typing Arcade") was written by Jim Patterson and released as freeware for the NeXT platform. I found it extremely useful, and I used it ever since to improve my typing skills. After I abandoned the NeXTSTEP platform a year ago, I started missing this little utility. Hence why I decided to write a version in Pure Java: this way, I will always be able to run it, no matter what future platforms I'll have to migrate to!
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. Let me know your impressions.

You can buy programs I think...otherwise teach yourself. At school we use this program called Microtype. I dont know if they sell it in stores, but it really works!
