Typing test is very useful as it helps in improving your typing speed and accuracy. This Python project will help you to develop your own typing test by following the procedures mentioned below.<\/p>\n

About Typing Test Project<\/h3>\n

In this project, we will develop a typing test that will help in improving your speed and accuracy. The user will be given 60 seconds and the user has to write as many words as possible that are displayed on the screen within the given time frame. After completion of time the final score will be displayed to the user along with the number of wrong words entered.<\/p>\n

Python Typing Test Project<\/h3>\n

The objective of the project is to develop our own typing test with the help of tkinter.<\/p>\n

Project Prerequisites<\/h3>\n

To begin the project you should install pygame on your PC. This project requires the knowledge of functions in python and pygame.<\/p>\n

b. geometry(): It defines the geometry of the typing test window.<\/p>\n
c. title(): It displays the title on the top of the typing test window.<\/p>\n
d. bg: It helps in applying the background color of the typing test window.<\/p>\n
e. Score: It is a variable that stores the score.<\/p>\n
f. Missed: This variable stores all the misspelled words entered by the user.<\/p>\n
g. time: This variable stores the time allotted to complete the test.<\/p>\n
4. Function for making the text float on the top of the window:<\/h4>\n
def movingtext():\r\nglobal count1,movingwords\r\nfloatingtext='Typing Test By DataFlair'\r\nif count1>= len(floatingtext):\r\ncount1 =0\r\nmovingwords =''\r\nmovingwords += floatingtext[count1]\r\ncount1 +=1\r\nfontlabel.configure(text=movingwords)\r\nfontlabel.after(150,movingtext)<\/pre>\n
Code Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n
a. movingtext(): This function will help the text to move on the top of the screen.<\/p>\n
b. floatingtext: This variable stores the text that needs to be floated.<\/p>\n
c. configure(): Overwriting over a label widget is performed by configure().<\/p>\n
d. after(): This method schedules an action after a timeout has elapsed.<\/p>\n
5. giventime Function:<\/h4>\n
def giventime():\r\nglobal time,score,missed\r\nif time>11:\r\n    pass\r\nelse:\r\n    timercount.configure(fg='red')\r\nif time>0:\r\n    time -=1\r\n    timercount.configure(text=time)\r\n    timercount.after(1000,giventime)\r\nelse:\r\n    gameinstruction.configure(text='Hit = {} | Miss = {} | Total Score = {}'\r\n.format(score,missed,score-missed))\r\nrr= messagebox.askretrycancel('Notification','Do you want to play again?')\r\nif rr==True:\r\nscore=0\r\nmissed=0\r\ntime=60\r\ntimercount.configure(text=time)\r\nlabelforward.configure(text=words[0])\r\nscorelabelcount.configure(text=score)\r\nwordentry.delete(0, END)<\/pre>\n
Code Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n
a. askretrycancel(): This function displays a retry or cancel dialog.
\nb. delete(): It deletes the text in the widget.<\/p>\n
6. Game Function:<\/h4>\n
def game(event):\r\nglobal score, missed\r\nif time==60:\r\ngiventime()\r\ngameinstruction.configure(text='')\r\nstartlabel.configure(text='')\r\nif wordentry.get()== labelforword['text']:\r\nscore +=1\r\nscorelabelcount.configure(text=score)\r\nelse:\r\nmissed +=1\r\nrandom.shuffle(words)\r\nlabelforward.configure(text=words[0])\r\nwordentry.delete(0,END)<\/pre>\n
Code Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n
a. get(): It returns the current text as a string.
\nb. random.shuffle(): It shuffles the original list.<\/p>\n
7. Defining labels:<\/h4>\n
fontlabel=Label(Mainscreen,text='',font=('arial',25,\r\n'italic bold'),fg='purple',width=40)\r\nfontlabel.place(x=10,y=10)\r\nmovingtext()\r\n\r\nstartlabel=Label(Mainscreen,text='Start Typing',font=('arial',30,\r\n'italic bold'),bg='black',fg='white')\r\nstartlabel.place(x=275,y=50)\r\n\r\nrandom.shuffle(words)\r\nlabelforward=Label(Mainscreen,text=words[0],font=('arial',45,\r\n'italic bold'),fg='green')\r\nlabelforward.place(x=250,y=240)\r\n\r\nscorelabel=Label(Mainscreen,text='Your Score:',font=('arial',25,\r\n'italic bold'),fg='red')\r\nscorelabel.place(x=10,y=100)\r\n\r\nscorelabelcount=Label(Mainscreen,text=score,font=('arial',25,\r\n'italic bold'),fg='blue')\r\nscorelabelcount.place(x=150,y=180)\r\n\r\nlabelfortimer=Label(Mainscreen,text='Time Left:',font=('arial',25,\r\n'italic bold'),fg='red')\r\nlabelfortimer.place(x=600,y=100)\r\n\r\ntimercount=Label(Mainscreen,text=time,font=('arial',25,\r\n'italic bold'),fg='blue')\r\ntimercount.place(x=600,y=180)\r\n\r\ngameinstruction= Label(Mainscreen,text='Hit enter button after typing the word',\r\nfont=('arial',25,'italic bold'),fg='grey')\r\ngameinstruction.place(x=150,y=500)\r\n\r\nwordentry= Entry(Mainscreen,font=('arial',25,'italic bold'),bd=10,justify='center')\r\nwordentry.place(x=250,y=330)\r\nwordentry.focus_set()\r\n\r\nMainscreen.bind('<Return>',game)\r\nmainloop()<\/pre>\n
