I need a typing trainer for Puppy
I need a typing trainer for Puppy
Hi folks,
I'm using Puppy in my school. I regularly get the request to make a typing trainer available.
It appears that none is currently available for Puppy.
In my research I came across a number of open source softwares:
- Ktouch
- Tipptrainer
- Tuxtype
- Typespeed
It appears that Tuxtype is rather popular.
Did I miss something? Is there a typing trainer available? How can I get one?
Kind regards,
Roman

@Roman,
What Puppy distro are you using?
I just compiled Tuxtype in Fatdog64-710 so it should be possible in other pups as well.
Source: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxtyp ... t/download
To make a pet package.
Load the devx.
Extract the source code.
Enter the top level directory where you see a file called configure.
Open a terminal in that directory and type the commands one at a time.
./configure --prefix=/usr --without-sdlpango
make
make DESTDIR=/root/tuxtype-1.8.0 install
dir2pet /root/tuxtype-1.8.0
If you just want to compile and install.
./configure --prefix=/usr --without-sdlpango
make
make install
I can do it for you if you let me know your version of Puppy.

Maybe you can try gtypist here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gtypist/
or typespeed:
http://typespeed.sourceforge.net/
or ztype (online):

Roman you can download gtypist on the link below.
http://www.smokey01.com/software/fun/gtypist-2.9.5.pet
It was compiled and tested in Lupu-5.2.5.
It's not as fancy as Tuxtype but it serves the same purpose.

Thanks a lot! I’ll check it out!
I really wish I could use a newer version of puppy. I opened a discussion on my issue a few days ago. Please check it out:

Roman, I don't like dumb computers beating me so I kept at it.
You can download tuxtype and the four required dependencies from the links below.
The SDL stuff was previously compiled by ttuuxxx.
http://smokey01.com/software/fun/tuxtyp ... -1.8.0.pet
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/old-stu ... 3-i386.pet
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/old-stu ... 6-i386.pet
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/old-stu ... -smpeg.pet
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/old-stu ... 9-i386.pet
Enjoy...

I found the fix for the issue with tux type here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=68875
It's a missing symlink in lupu.
