Two Game Modes Keep Things Interesting
Tux Typing features two different game modes for typing practice.
In Fish Cascade, juicy fish are falling from the sky. Tux, the Linux
penguin mascot, is waiting below the falling food with an empty stomach.
However, he can't eat the fish when they are covered with letters.
Removing those indigestible letters is up to you. Successfully typing
out the entire word spelled out on the fish will make the letters
disappear. Fish Cascade has three levels of difficulty, guaranteeing a
satisfying typing challenge for even intermediate typists.
The second minigame in Tux Typing is Comet Zap. Choose from Space Cadet,
Pilot, Ace and Commander difficulties and let the shooting begin!
Flaming letters rain down from space and it's up to you and Tux to
destroy them all and save the day.
Customizable Word Lists
In addition to a robust selection of built-in word lists, Tux Typing
also supports user generated word lists. This opens up a whole new world
of potential for users of this game. Spelling words, vocabulary lists
and even foreign words can easily be added to Tux Typing for increased
exposure and reinforcement, making the game pull double duty as a typing
tutor and study aid all in one.
Bright, Colorful Backgrounds and Exciting Sound
Most of the backgrounds in Tux Typing are bright and beautiful pictures
of wide open spaces, and the game automatically changes backgrounds at
regular intervals during gameplay. This reduces eyestrain and keeps the
game feeling fresh even after extended typing sessions.

discouraging beeps when mistakes are made and the sound of an
enthusiastic crowd cheering when goals have been met.
