ROBOType
A downloadable game
I was getting annoyed with online typing simulators - every time I pressed Ctrl+W, it would close the page. But this is a common shortcut to delete the last word, similar to Ctrl + backspace. Speaking of which - there are a lot of natural text field shortcuts that these typing games don't give you.
The number of collections available right now are somewhat limited. You can add your own by creating new text files in the /collections directory or in subdirectories.
I made this game as a submission to the 2026 Handmade jam. Wasn't able to finish it in the Jam, but I liked the idea so I worked on it a bit longer.

I like it!
As someone who has tried a lot of online typing speed improvement websites, this one has the best foundation.
I like that it is minimal and straight to the point.
I would recommend adding a feature so that when you hit ENTER/RETURN to go to newline, that it would retain the TAB state of the previous line, as this is very common in code editors.
