    The hole idea is that you type the book Dracula by Bram Stoker. That way you stay entertained by the book while practicing typing.
    The in-game layout is also separate from your OS layout. That way you can practice Colemak before you feel ready to install it on your computer.
    A demo is avilable at  Steam. Let me know what you think.

    This is very interesting, as I said on Reddit too.

    On a side note, Amphetype/TypeLit/CopyType has yet another contestant now, so book-typing seems very popular these days.

    Maybe you get some ideas from looking at these? I know people are discussing what stats to record from your typing. Also, what I really like in such an app is the ability to import books; I've done that a fair bit using the old AmpheType program. But I see that your app has that cool Dracula theme thing going, which is nice too.

    I've linked to the others on my Training page:
