There's a lot of stuff i need to add to it. This is the prelim stage. When you go to 'entire keyboard,' it actually generates words.

92 words per minute here, which just shows how carppy my typing skills are becoming.

The thing is, this is definately not a realistic value for average words per minute in practice. You're repeatedly using the same words, and overall they're pretty basic/short.

Yea, i have a string array in which i have to input all the values for the words so that's why i don't have many words. Then the words are converted to chars.... now would it maybe be possible to read from a document.. that way i could write a paragraph and all the strings would be assigned to the corresponding words of the paragraph. . As for the word accuracy. It's just the number of characters per minute divided by 4 (so, this is saying that the avg word is 4 chars in length... it's not 100% accurate, but i imagine it's +-20)

Yes it would be possible. Read the tutorial on File Input/Output in the Turing Walkthrough.

Hrm... Some places seem to think the average word length is 5 letters and some 7... In any case, I'd raise your average to make it a bit more reasonable.

I just attached V2.0. It has many more paragraphs and lessons. I think you will enjoy some of the lessons (choose all keyboard, then pick a topic, my favorite is U.S. politics, hehehe). There is also a custom notepad where you can make your own lesson. If a few ppl want to create a few .txt files and attach them, I will add them to the prog, that would be great. Lets see what kind of ideas we can get togethe r

good stuff xHoly-Divinity, and an actual 'word' in written sense is 5 characters long

Was that before or after errors were accounted for?

[xHoly-Divinity]

Well the way it works is it checks how many characters there are in total... so lets say for example 500. Then it checks how much time it takes for u to complete the lesson. So lets say 45 sec. Then it divides 500 by the time (45) and multiplies it by 20 (this indicates that the avg word is 5 characters long)

Well... ne1 have any docs they wana attach?
