120 WPM (at even 5 characters per word) would put you with the very highest actions per minute gamers in the world in terms of APM - and they are just spamming

120 WPM (at even 5 characters per word) would put you with the very highest actions per minute gamers in the world in terms of APM - and they are just spamming keystrokes and clicks. Now, with both hands on the keyboard you could enter more keystrokes, but you would have to be accurate as well. World record is over 200 wpm, but if you're over 120, you're amongst the fastest. Here's a competitive typist only hitting a little over 120 on some exceptionally difficult text: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GDusA21cEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GDusA21cEA
- cozos 8y ago120 APM is with "useless actions" filtered out. Professional Starcraft players typically do 300-400 APM when spam is counted.
- s4vi0r 8y agoThat's consistent, also. It can peak up to 600-700 as well.
- whack 8y agoExcept that each "action" is one click. Whereas a word corresponds to ~5 clicks, assuming 5-letters-per-word average. This means that 120 WPM is analogous to 600 APM.
- taneq 8y agoYes, but that word is a sequence of actions in muscle memory, so you can't really think of it as being the same as an "action" in the sense of clicking on a unit or issuing a build command. It's like the difference between streaming I/O and synchronous I/O.
- whack 8y agoYou could say the same thing about issuing gaming actions. Selecting a hatchery, then selecting larvae, and then building 3 drones, are all sequences of actions in muscle memory, analogous to typing one word.
