    I'm developing a typing game that's perfect for practicing colemak

    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:
