01 The brief
A typing test where the next word, the clock, and the score share one glance.
02 The problem
Typing tests die when feedback is late. The player needs to see the next word, the clock, and the score in one glance.
03 The decision
Handcoded JS, keyboard-first. Rejected delayed feedback. The loop is the interface.
04 The build
Handcoded JS with a tight loop: words arrive, the timer runs, the score updates. Layout stays out of the way of the keyboard.
- Continuous word stream
- Live timer and score
- Keyboard-first UI
05 The result
A practice piece for game loops and input. Still one of the clearest things I have built in plain JavaScript.
