Tux Typing vs Typing Instructor

Tux Typing is a free educational typing tutor game starring Tux, the Linux penguin. It is available for Linux, macOS and Windows, and Tux4Kids describes it as software for children that parents and teachers can use at home or on school computers. In Fish Cascade, players type letters on falling fish to help Tux catch them; in Comet Zap, they type letters on comets so Tux can destroy them with a laser. The default theme includes finger exercises that introduce keyboard keys progressively. Phrase Typing offers practice with phrases or complete sentences and measures accuracy and typing speed, but the maker says that feature and Lessons are not yet completed. Users can add and modify custom word lists, although the README describes the editor as beta. The program is free software distributed under the GNU General Public License. Tux4Kids says its open-source programs can be extended or customized, and its programs have been translated into dozens of languages. The group invites translation contributions and describes its programs as supported by active volunteer developer communities.
