-
-
- Typing skill builder.
-
- The sentences that you will be typing are taken from a typing book
- called "Mastering Keyboarding Skills.
-
- In the easy Level there is 100 sentences that are picked randomly by the
- computer.
-
- NOTE. In this demo version there is only 5 sentences for HARD and
- MEDIUM level. If you like the program please contact us
- and then we will decide if we should complete Typing Demon
- and release a new version.
-
- If you happened to make a mistake, you will be prompted with the right
- spelled sentence to compare them and see where you have made a mistake.
-
- If you have made a mistake, the time that you took to write it is not
- taken, and it will not count at all in your WPM (words per minute)
- score.

- ----------------History-----------------------------------------------------
-
- It took us 4 days to write it.
- 4 weeks to improve it.
-
- First the program needed 4MB of memory to run.
- Then we started cutting it.
-
- We had to get rid of Ren animation at the end.
- It needed a double buffer which killed all the memory.
-
- When the program was finally done, I had to come up with the
- high score idea. It took me all night to figure out the best
- way to do it.
-
- I have to send thanks to Paul Polak for testing the program.
- I don't know how many times he had to upload it and play with it.
-
- Since this was our first program, I'm sure that there is still
- lots of things that could be done better.
-
- For now we are starting to get sick of this program :)
- That's why now you get it :)
