Package Exports

tycon
tycon/app.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (tycon) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Restarting Test: ^R Is used to start/re-start a test. Can be used while test is running (will re-random sentence selection)

Speed Graph: Every 2 seconds, your average WPM (up to that point) is calculated
Custom Text: tycon -f </path/file.txt>

To-Do

Support custom word lists from file (validate format, and navigate directories to locate. launch flag -f and file path)
Support numbers (keypress just gives undefined for data)
% incorrect by each character, not just incorrect words, and backspaces
Display random typing tips
Add random punctuation mode (insert punctuation, and reformat text, like hyphens w/o space, caps after period, etc.)
Re-do intervaled avg to average in segments, instead of over progress of the test (so chart is more relevant)
Record local lifetime stats
Launch parameters to define settings
User config (settings) file support
Record time between all keypresses for consistency data, & display in graph
