ZType – Typing Game
- BlueTemplar 2y agoInspired by the classic Gar-Type I see !
- Chihuahua0633 2y agoThat was fun.
- adnanc 2y agoThe irony in the typo of the submission for a typing game :-)
- saagarjha 2y agoNeat! A couple gameplay suggestions I would have is that while the game does pretty well figuring out which word I'm typing sometimes I will get "locked" on a word that I decide I don't actually want to complete (for example, if something is coming at me faster). And, while probably intentional, sometimes I just can't see words or there is some delay in when they actually get destroyed.
- VeejayRampay 2y agoreminds me of typing of the dead, well done
- daitangio 2y agoVery good ideed! Give it try!
- nullify88 2y agoI tend to play this at work when I need some downtime. If you want other suggestions, give Typing of the Dead a go.
- apirobots 2y agoVery good, I like it. I usually use NitroType, and I will use yours too.
- boogerlad 2y agoToo bad this doesn't use the system keyboard on mobile
- unixhero 2y agoThat was really great. I did 7 waves on the phone and had fun! The music was phenomenal
- drag0s 2y agoI really like the game! looks like the keyboard doesn’t work that well on mobile though (iOS). You need to press the keys below the key you want to type (eg if I want to type a T, I need to press G for it to work)
- x0xrx 2y agoI did not have this issue on iOS FWIW, so there must be something more subtle going on for this bug.
- abound 2y agoUgh I've run into this issue as a developer before, IIRC it was something about the height of the bottom browser bar not being considered in touch targets. I think I was using the Canvas API when I hit it
- eagleseye 2y agoVery fun game! Just would have liked to choose my keyboard layout (in my case switch y and z)
- deskr 2y agoDoesn't work on FF/Linux
- Shawnecy 2y agoI just played it on Firefox on Linux just fine.
- omni 2y agoGames like this based on an existing skill would really benefit from the ability to start at higher levels. I'm a pretty proficient typist, it'd be a lot more interesting to me if there was any risk at all of me failing.
- dmd 2y agoYeah. I gave up after about 10 minutes of it being not even remotely a challenge.
- mdaniel 2y agoYeah, I was genuinely surprised when I could feel myself fat-finger a letter and it just continued as if I had typed the real word. It reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposed_letter_effect#:~:text=typoglycemia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposed_letter_effect#:~:te...
- nullify88 2y agoOne of the features of this game is that you can provide a word list of your own. So you can probably generate a list of words above a certain length which will gradually get harder as more targets appear on screen.
- sureglymop 2y agoReally cool! What I have always wanted was a version of those touch typing training sites like tipp10 but with some social aspects. E.g. like a running app where you can rack up kilometers against your friends but for typing lessons!

- xigoi 2y agoCould you make it so that I can use my actual keyboard on mobile instead of being forced to use QWERTY?
- moreati 2y agoFor those seeking something multiplayer https://play.typeracer.com/ https://play.typeracer.com/
- bl4kers 2y agoSeems to be too buggy to play. First word I typed it wouldn't accept the last letter, and this happened again and again.
- nayuki 2y agoThe game doesn't penalize wrong key presses. I made an automation cheat for it back in Dec 2013! import java.awt.*; public class autokey { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // Give the user time to switch windows Thread.sleep(2000); // Repeatedly type the letters A through Z until the mouse is moved Robot rob = new Robot(); Point prevLoc = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation(); while (MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation().equals(prevLoc)) { for (int i = 'A'; i <= 'Z'; i++) { rob.keyPress(i); Thread.sleep(1); } Thread.sleep(50); } } }
- lwhsiao 2y agoTrue, but it does reward accuracy. Note the bar that resets at the bottom on a wrong keypress.

- dasKrokodil 2y agoI would like it if there was a hard mode, where every wrong keypress would spawn another enemy.
