PacVim is a game that teaches you vim commands. You must move pacman (the green cursor) to highlight each word on the gameboard while avoiding the ghosts (in red).

Vim is a great tool to write and edit code, but many people, including me, struggled with the steep learning curve. I did not find a fun, free way to learn about the vim commands in-depth, and thus, PacVim was born. Inspired by the classic, PacMan, PacVim is a game that'll give anyone plenty of practice with the vim commands while being a ton of fun to play.

Randtype is a small utility to output characters or lines at random intervals. There are a few command line options to refine the output. With it you can output files to the screen, and if you configured it well, it will look like someone is actually typing - with optional typos even.

TuxTyping jest programem do nauki pisania w formie zabawy, z udziałem linuksowego pingwina Tuksa. Gracz musi karmić Tuksa rybami, które spadają z góry ekranu. Każda ryba ma na sobie wypisaną literę. Po naciśnięciu odpowiedniej litery, Tux przesuwa się tak, aby mógł zjeść ryby. Gra jest przeznaczona dla dzieci, które dopiero uczą się pisać, ale zawiera też wyzwania mogące zainteresować osoby doświadczone w sztuce pisania.

Typespeed to gra, w której słowa przelatują przez ekran. Zadaniem gracza jest zestrzelenie słów, wpisując je, zanim przelecą przez ekran. Jeśli dotrze do gracza zbyt wiele słów, gra się kończy.
