Tux Typing

Tux Typing is a free desktop program designed to teach children to type in a fun and stimulating way. Users are introduced to Tux, the Linux penguin, and mascot. In two different games, words fall from the sky, and players have to type them before they fall to the ground. Kids and adults alike can challenge themselves with varying levels of difficulty.

Challenging for all
In the main menu, you can choose a level of difficulty for both games. Within these difficulty levels are different challenges from typing just the alphabet to whole words. On the hardest levels, words fall at a very rapid rate that would test even experienced touch typists. Adults as well as children, therefore, are likely to gain benefits from using Tux Typing.

Entertaining typing tutorial game
Tux Typing is a charming, free typing tutorial game for children that will keep them entertained and rapidly improve their typing skills. With its varying levels of difficulty, it will challenge children and even teach adult users some skills they didn't have, particularly touch typing.

What are lessons in Tux Typing?
Lessons use XML-based scripting to run various tutorials on individual letters on the keyboard. The program will display a combination of the chosen letter and then show you which fingers you should use to type the combination. The software will measure the accuracy and typing speed for each lesson.
