Typing.lua

This program is based on a program I wrote in C called TypeBelow, except now in Lua (and with one less feature!). It reads lines from a specified text file and shows them one by one in the terminal. You follow along by typing each line and pressing Enter before continuing.

This program is very bare-bones because I don't personally need anything more complicated. If you want to make modifications to it and republish, have at it.

Features

• Shows one line at a time from the input file, piped-in text, or from the clipboard.

Anti-Features

• Does not halt your progress if you type something wrong.
• Does not track your typing speed or mistakes.
• Does not store any data (no profiles, saves, etc).

Usage

typing.lua filename.txt  # to type from the contents of a file
typing.lua -             # to type from piped-in text
typing.lua               # to type from clipboard contents
