The greatest problem most people face when they first use a computer is locating the keys on a 'QWERTY' keyboard. This short program provides a colourful game which will help you become familiar with the keyboard. Although we cannot promise to convert you instantly into an audio touch typist, we are sure that you will gain valuable expertise from your time spent playing Type Attack. Instructions When the program is executed you are shown a series of coloured bands with numbers written beside them, corresponding to the number of points which will be awarded throughout the game. However, first you must input the level of play: you have a choice of 1 to 5, of which 1 is the easiest and 5 the most difficult. You are then requested to press the space bar to begin the game. A series of letters appear descending down the screen. To destroy them, you must type the corresponding keys. Depending on how quickly you respond, you are awarded points which decrease the further the letter is down the screen. You are killed when one of the letters reaches the base line and the game ends. If your score is greater than the high score then this is updated and you are asked if you wish to play again. |
