Typing Arcade: Arcade is a small typing tutor in the form of an arcade game. Letters are falling, and you can destroy them before they hit the bottom by typing the correct key. You can choose the set of keys you want to play with (home keys, letters only, whole keyboard,...). Since I have received a good number of requests for it on the Usenet, here it is. Though I am not the author, I have the author's permission to distribute it. I'm distributing this for Jim Patterson, who wrote it as a class project. Jim is only infrequently on the net, so this program is delivered 'as is', without any guarantees (insert legalese). This program is (C) Copyright 1992 Jim Patterson. It can be distributed freely as long as the source and all files are included in this distribution. You can modify and transform this program as long as you distribute freely the modified code, under the same conditions and that the name of the author remains on all files present in the original distribution. This code is not to be used for commercial applications without the author's express consent. (Insert more legalese, that's not my forte). Finally, nobody's maintaining this program, so if you want to do it, you're welcome. Laurent Amon (amon@cs.stanford.edu) Now let's hear a few words from Jim: It's late, and I'm tired, and instructions are online (under INFO...INSTRUCTIONS from the main menu), so try it out and I hope you like it. By the way, loading the program and starting a new game take some time, so be patient. Jim Patterson
