- UNICORN QUEST (for DOS) - Typing Tutor Game
-
- Unicorn Quest is a typing tutor program written as a game. The objective is
- to increase typing skills while questing for a missing unicorn.
-
- The program has three levels: typing letters, typing words, and typing
- sentences. Each level has three stages of difficulty. You can type at
- beginner stage, advanced stage, and expert stage. After you have finished
- level 1, at any stage of difficulty, you can go on to level 2.
-
- One-handed typing:
- ------------------
- Beginner Stage - letters 5 words per minute, words 10 wpm, sentences 10 wpm
- Advanced Stage - letters 10 wpm, words 20 wpm, sentences 20 wpm
- Expert Stage - letters 20 wpm, words 30 wpm, sentences 30 wpm
-

-
- PRINTING CERTIFICATES
- ---------------------
- To see what stages you have completed, go to the Print Certificate screen.
- (You can use the arrow keys to get there, or just press C.) Then press Enter,
- and you will see each certificate that you have earned. While you are on this
- screen, press ENTER to print the highlighted certificate. To leave the screen
- without printing a certificate, press ESC.
-
- STAGES OF DIFFICULTY
- --------------------
- To switch between stages of difficulty, go to Select Program Settings.
-
- If you want to get the most out of this program, when you have finished
- Levels 1 to 3 at the Beginner Stage, you will start again at the Advanced
- Stage. To do this, go into Select Program Settings. Change the difficulty to
- Advanced, and the level to Letters. Then start the first level again, and you
- will have to achieve a higher speed. The animal reward pictures are different
- at each level, though the final rewards are the same.
-
- After you have finished level 3 once, you can also go to the Practice Area
- and practice typing the story. The program will remember how far through the
- story you are, so you can eventually type (and read) the whole story of the
- quest for the unicorn.
