⌨️ Code Typing

A terminal-based typing game for Rust programmers. Practice typing real Rust code snippets to build muscle memory for Rust syntax and special characters.

Why Code Typing?

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 — 50 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

Installation

From crates.io

cargo install code-typing

From source

git clone https://github.com/vincentwoo/code-typing
cd code-typing
cargo install --path .

Usage

code-typing

That's it! Start typing the code you see on screen. The timer starts on your first keystroke.

Gameplay

The progress bar shows completion. When finished, press Enter for a new snippet or Esc to quit.

Controls

Code Samples Include

• Algorithms — QuickSort, Binary Search, DFS, BFS, Dijkstra
• Data Structures — Linked List, Binary Tree, Stack, Queue, HashMap
• Classic Problems — FizzBuzz, Two Sum, Valid Parentheses, Fibonacci
• Rust Patterns — Iterators, Closures, Traits, Generics, Error Handling

Requirements

• Rust 1.70+ (for installation)
• Terminal with Unicode support
• Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows

Tips for Improving

1. Focus on accuracy first — Speed comes naturally with muscle memory
2. Pay attention to special characters — {}, (), <>, ::, => are common in code
3. Practice indentation — Use Tab for consistent spacing
4. Take breaks — Short, focused sessions are more effective
