What units is this rate in? Does this mean that instead of working by FPS, tuxtype1.5 now works by duration (which would be very cool)? > That enabled us to set the speeds for easy/medium/hard to be good for just the > alphabet and also to slow down when the words are used!

Comet Zap was maddenning it was so fast ;-) Speed tweaks will have to be made, as it stands right now, all of the in-game speeds are too fast (especially for children learning to type). When I get back, and once school starts up around town, I'll get some settings based upon in-class activities back to you that should fix things up. BTW, do you have the tuxtype1.5 exe installer somewhere I could download? I might have time to take a look at it before I leave. -- Sam Hart University/Work addr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Personal addr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Alternative <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> end _______________________________________________ Tuxtype-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxtype-dev
