QuickType - Project Started

Post by AiRMaN »

Hello there QB coders, this is my first post to Pete'sQbasicSite; and it's at least to me is the greatest QB site on the web.
I started working on a 'Typing Tutor' and it's called 'QuickType', Since it's the first version, I'm only going to support the teaching of letter of the alphabet and the space bar.

Program features:
- Friendly user interface
- Keyboard maniature that highlights the letter to be pressed
- Allows user to view his progress
- Provides typing speed (words per minute) and accuracy
- Permits a 'Restart' option to start the lesson all over again
- Provides Help on how to use the program
- Auto saving whenever user finishes a lesson
- 'Continue' option that loads the last lesson done by the user
- Provides 5 relatively large essays to practice typing skills

Program limitations:
- Keys taught are restricted to letters of the alphabets (only small letters)
and space bar
- Only one user profile is permitted to take the typing course
- It's a text mode based program, there aren't much graphics in it.

Progress:

- User Interface - Completed
- Highlight feature - Completed
- Keyboard Maniature - Completed
- Lessons data - In progress
- Program main loop - In progress
- Key checking routines - In progress
- Speed calculations - Untouched
- Accuracy claculations - Untouched
- Typing errors routine - Untouched
- Message boxes - Untouched
