Type Racer Game

A typing-speed game built with Tkinter. A random sentence appears and you type it against a countdown timer, with live progress, color feedback for correct/incorrect text, and a words-per-minute score.

Example

  1. The window opens titled "TypeRacer" (800×400). A random sentence appears, e.g. Python is an interpreted high-level programming language.
  2. A 5-second countdown ("Get ready!", 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, "Go!") plays, then the 30-second game timer starts.
  3. You type in the entry box. Correct characters turn the text green; any mismatch turns it red. The progress bar updates as you type.
  4. If you finish the sentence before time runs out, the result label briefly shows Correct! Time taken: 18.42 seconds, WPM: 52 and a new sentence is loaded automatically.
  5. If the timer reaches zero, it shows Time's up! and the score is submitted.
