When you finish, you are given a score and your WPM(Words Per Minute).\r\n\r\nThis is a fairly simple game, but it's effective at what it does. I made it because I could not for the life of me think of anything else to make for this theme.\r\nAlso I really only started about half way through the competition anyway, so I didn't have as much time as I'd have liked to polish it up... But it works :)\r\n\r\n-------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nNOTE: DO NOT PRESS ENTER OR SPACE!!!\r\nThey are not needed to go to the next word, in fact pressing enter will screw up the text field.\r\nIn the event you do press enter, just press backspace.\r\n\r\n--------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nAlso, for those of you who can type fast (because I cannot sadly.) Feel free to post your scores and\/or WPM below!\r\n\r\nEnjoy :D","title":"RetroType"}
