dacttylo

A terminal-based application to practice typing code.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

You should install the Rust toolchain to build the project. See https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.

Installation

cargo install --path .

This will build and install the binary at $HOME/.cargo/bin.

Usage

Navigate the CLI options with these two commands:

dacttylo --help
dacttylo help <subcommand>

Practice Mode

Normal practice session

dacttylo practice -f <filepath>

Record your inputs during this session with the save option -s, --save. There can only be one input record at any one time for a given file.

best will keep the fastest time input record between a potentially existing record for this practice file and the input record for this next session.
override will do exactly that, override any existing input record for this file with the input record of this next session.

dacttylo practice -f <filepath> -s best

Why record your inputs at all? To race against your past self on your next sessions. Provide the -g, --ghost option to try loading an existing input record for the file and start racing.

dacttylo practice -f <filepath> -g

LAN Multiplayer Mode

Race against other people on the same local network using the host and join subcommands.

dacttylo host -u user1 -f README.md

dacttylo join user1 -u user2
