Typing is a core gameplay element in Backspace Bouken, so practice will help support your speedruns.
Boss Text
You can find text files for all boss text in this Google Drive folder. Because bosses have the most complicated text, they require more practice. Some of the sites linked below allow you to enter specific text you want to practice, so copy-paste away!
Learning How to Touch Type
Let's say you don't yet know how to touch type. No problem! With practice, you can pick it up. These two sites are useful, as they provide a full "curriculum" that you can run through.
typing.com - Used frequently by teachers to support students' typing growth. This also features some games!
TypingClub - Features a placement test and structured lessons.
Pure Practice
kybr.com - This site has 2 useful features:
- It generates random, yet readable and pronounceable, words that will create more authentic practice.
- You can enter text you want to practice. Note that this site requires you to press Spacebar or Enter at the end of lines (which the game doesn't require), and you will need to put the contractions in yourself if you want to practice them.
Monkey-Type - You can customize the visual appearance and the amount of feedback you receive.
typing.io - This one is primarily targeted at programmers.
10 Fast Fingers - Features a typing test and competitions that run for 24 hours.
The Typing Cat Meant for use as a daily, 10 minute typing exercise program.
