How fast can you type?
Find out using this test
How to use
A sentence is shown to you, you have to type in each letter correctly, if you get a letter wrong then you can't move on to the next until you get it correct.
Competition
Comment your top Words per Minute (WPM) and, at the end of next week (9th May) 12pm GMT, the person with the best WPM will get
.
.
.
.
.
2 Cycles!!!!
(and of course for such an amazing prize, you will need proof of your WPM)
Thanks to @xolyon as usual for their colour tutorial (here)
Any typos that are pointed out are greatly appreciated
Edit: Added some more sentences, and a variable to keep track of your high score.
Finally, upvote if you have fun!!
Can you add a second, third, and fourth place on the leaderboard?
Beat @MrEconomical I going to keep trying for a faster wpm
@Ygngt damn
@MrEconomical I know I can't beat that score. It took me like an hour to get up to 176
@Ygngt I've reset the leaderboard for the longer passages, @MrEconomical hasn't set a speed yet, you could go to 1st place if you do it again.
@ChezCoder wow! That puts you right at the top of the leader board
@CodingCactus finally, i won something in life
@ChezCoder well, it's not over yet :)
@CodingCactus * FINGERS CROSSED *
@Ygngt noice
Sentence suggestion: "Pi is the best mathematical constant and is a thousand times better than tau."
Another suggestion: "This is easy to hack using os.system and the curl command."
@AmazingMech2418 make it a bit longer?
@CodingCactus Maybe "You can hack this program easily by using from os import system and then opening a bash console and using the curl command to pipe a new Python file into main.py to make it seem like you got a million words per minute."
@AmazingMech2418 bit too long
@CodingCactus For the other one, "Pi is better than tau and is the best mathematical constant and if you say tau is better, that is just because you are lazy and don't want to have to press two buttons on the calculator to multiply by two since tau is just twice pi, although it is unnecessary since pi is the best mathematical constant anyways, although you could argue that Euler's constant is a close second.
@CodingCactus I made it longer though, just like you said!
@AmazingMech2418 I disagree with that comment, tau is better than pi
@Isaacatreplit nerds
oh wait...
i am too
@Isaacatreplit Ik right? I told him... he just won't listen...
I believe I have received my 2 cycles y/n ?
@CodingCactus lol thanks for all the support :)
@HahaYes lol, set your time here https://sites.google.com/view/vulcancom/quizzes/typing-speed-test
@CodingCactus your website? anyways, good morning!
@HahaYes nope, some guys. But they haven't given me credit :( I'm working on that
@HahaYes good morning! It's afternoon where I am tho :)
@CodingCactus I can take down the website with some DDoS attacks...
@CodingCactus Ah yes, the British man
@HahaYes lol, do what you want to it (but don't do anything illegal)
@CodingCactus I'm a New Yorka, life's never been better
@CodingCactus *insert coffin dance meme
@HahaYes cool, I've been there once, It's quite crowded
@CodingCactus yep, coronavirus never looked better there. It's like a zombie apocalypse
@HahaYes lol, Donald Trump's pretty stupid
@CodingCactus Yes, how do you Europeans think of Trump? I have never known. "LIES, alllllll LIES"
@HahaYes I'm pretty sure most people think he is an idiot (no offence to anyone)
@CodingCactus Yep he is, that's why I'm independent
@CodingCactus Also enjoy the 4 cycles :)
@HahaYes oh, ok lol
@CodingCactus Lol, this is a example of Americans on the news.
Go watch it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLGNaQVNJnM
@HahaYes omg, that's so funny!
@HahaYes Fake news!!!!
@CodingCactus yippeeee
@HahaYes someone had already beaten this lol (look at learderboard)
@CodingCactus bro I got a 199 wpm
@HahaYes proof????
@CodingCactus I sent a picture but ok
@CodingCactus This was me grinding for 1 hr and 30 min
@HahaYes ohhhhhhhh, sorry no idea what I was on about there
@CodingCactus Yo can you check out my primenumbergenerator? Everyone is apparently getting a headache from it for some reason
@HahaYes have you posted it?
@CodingCactus Yeah just click on my name
@HahaYes you haven't posted it, but it is one of your repls?
@CodingCactus the Abusing the Time limit
@HahaYes ahh, why are people confused by it?
@CodingCactus It is giving them a headache
@HahaYes why?
@CodingCactus Just look at it and run it
@HahaYes it looks pretty simple to me?
@CodingCactus Yep that is the point so it can run fast
@CodingCactus C++ is the fastest language
@HahaYes no one said that it gave them headaches tho?
@CodingCactus scroll down
@HahaYes there was someone that already had a headache before they looked at it
@CodingCactus Lol you get the point
The addition of the long passages is amazing, it really makes it so that we can't use the short sentence to type in bursts. This is a much better way to test WPM! @CodingCactus
@kbadrinath_tcsp @MrEconomical suggested the longer passages :)
@kbadrinath_tcsp should I reset the leaderboard for the new passages?
If so, what is your best WPM on these passages?
Just checked my screenshot. It isn't 134 WPM. It is actually 130. sorry for the typo. It is definitely lower than before. @CodingCactus
@kbadrinath_tcsp ok, you are currently in the lead on these passages (no-one else has a time yet)
eyy finally lol @CodingCactus
@CodingCactus Just temporary for now:
@CodingCactus Thank you!
Do you mind if you replied your WPM to this comment, so that I can keep track of them better?
:)
@MrEconomical @ygngt @kbadrinath_tcsp Can you set some new times, because I changed the sentences to more like short passages :)
@Isaacatreplit Not bad, but I did hack the system a bit....
@Isaacatreplit Stop the program, type from os import system
, then system('bash')
. Then, use curl <link to server> > main.py
to replace main.py without forking it. Of course, replace <link to server>
with a link to a server hosting the version to replace it with.
When you try to beat @MrEconomical at typing and are 44 WPM off...
@AmazingMech2418 lol, I can only ever get up to 60
@CodingCactus LOL! I kind of have an advantage though with three years of typing classes (well, the second two were more of MS Office, but we also did typing exercises) in middle school...
@AmazingMech2418 oh lol, i didn't know typing classes were things
@CodingCactus Well, at my middle school, the name of the first one was Keyboarding and Basic Word Processing, but I don't know if you have classes like that where you are. However, after time, you will get faster at typing...
@AmazingMech2418 ye, I reckon at the end of all this eSchool period, or whatever it's called, I'll be quite a lot faster (hopefully)
@CodingCactus LOL! Yeah. By the way, if you made this in HTML/JS, I would be submitting a screenshot with 1000 WPM... You should know why. LOL!
@AmazingMech2418 lol
:D
@AmazingMech2418 you could probably still do that hack that you did with tic tac toe?
@CodingCactus LOL! Yeah...
@CodingCactus I don't think 1,000,000 WPM is even possible, but why not change the code to make it possible?
WPM: 33.43699398179181
Average WPM: 33.43699398179181
Your HIghest: 33.43699398179181
Accuracy: 73.68421052631578%
Average Accuracy: 73.68421052631578%
Bruh im 29 on my new computer :(
@DJWang thank you, fixed now
Yay! Great job, heres an upvote! @CodingCactus
@MrEconomical You might wanna check the scores again, unless you're uninterested of course.
I am trying to make a new thing in my website called circuits. It is going to be a bit like cycles. So every time somebody gives me a game or quiz to put on my website, I give them a circuit. Do you have a VWM Gaming Profile so I can note down your 2 circuits? @CodingCactus
@medcho no, but I would love it if you actually credited me for my code like you said that you would!
I did @CodingCactus
@CodingCactus
Look at the bottom.
@medcho you changed it from saying CodingCactus's typing..... to 'my typing.......'
Shall I change i back then? @CodingCactus
@medcho well obviously
Chill man, let me do [email protected]
Done it @CodingCactus
Line 135 srsly CodingCactus? Again? leaderborad = (leaderboard)
180.84169842068981 WPH
30 WPM... :(
I beat my record again @CodingCactus
This is so cool! I love how you made the leader board!
Yo CodingCactus upvote my primenumbergenerator project
thnks
Yo Hahayes upvote my python tutorial post
lol
Sorry, what do you mean by two cycles?
@arnavratna the number next to your name
Confirmed: without mech keyboard my WPM drops to a 130
Mechanical keyboards are awesome
colour? British?
Tips on getting faster WPM: Buy a mechanical keyboard with blue switches.
Then only compress them halfway down so you can get an insane WPM
@AmazingMech2418 ok, I'll update your score :)
Congrats on 1.2K!
good enough for me
@MrEconomical wow! you are fast!
@MrEconomical bruh how
@MrEconomical Try beating this!

LOL!
os.system("bash")
andcurl
are awesome, aren't they?@MrEconomical You are better than some typing champions click me They had a harder test though.
@CodingCactus @PowerCoder Managed to improve my score a tad, actually tried this time ;)
@CodingCactus also add "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"
@MrEconomical ok :)
@MrEconomical I have no idea how your doing these, I can't comprehend that speed!!!
@CodingCactus It doesn't really count as it's only one sentence, easy to burst. For a more accurate measure, I would recommend passages of from 2-3 sentences, but that can be for a future update
@MrEconomical okay, I'll find some stuff tomorrow :)
@CodingCactus wait, I just realized that you gained almost 700 cycles in 12 days! well done :)
@MrEconomical Wait a sec is MrEconimical spelled right? huh
@AmazingMech2418 I got this 150994944
@AmazingMech2418
just beat my own high score
@antihacker1014 https://repl.it/@antihacker1014/Typing-speed-test ...
@AmazingMech2418 lol
@AmazingMech2418
yeah....
@MrEconomical Woah!
