Inspiration
I've been practicing typing a lot in order to get faster, but the site that I use often has too many ads and causes lag which decreases overall performance. I was also inspired by the show Flash hence the theme.
What it does
It basically gives you a new word every time you enter the correct word. Then you would gain a point. If you take the score and you divide by 1 minute you get would the wpm of your typing speed.
How I built it
I built it using CSS/HTML for the front end and back end using javascript.
Challenges I ran into
-Learning CSS, HTML, and javascript at the same time -CSS and HTML wasn't as hard but Javascript was another monster -It took me a while to understand how to link all three languages and how they interacted with each other.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm proud of taking myself through this journey and building my first project in 12 hours. I'm also really proud of how nice the heading looked.
What I learned
I learn how the language how all the language interacts with each other, how functions work in js, and how to do random stuff like embed fonts, images, and videos.
What's next for Flash Type
I was highly disappointed with myself for underestimating the difficulty of learning 3 languages at once and wasn't able to accomplish what I had in mind. Hopefully, in the future I will be able to not just match words with words but characters with characters. Other features like letting the user add their own text, programming option where the text you have to enter include {}()[]:;"', and the text would be more than just one word and is actually a paragraph. I would love to be able to add a login feature and keep a record of people's scores.
