## Features
- **Typing Speed Measurement**: Calculates Words Per Minute (WPM) based on user input.
- **Error Tracking**: Counts the number of mistakes made during typing.
- **Time Limit**: Users have a fixed time (60 seconds) to complete the typing task.
- **Try Again Button**: Allows users to restart the game easily.
- **Responsive Design**: Fully responsive layout that works on various screen sizes.
## Technologies Used
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
## Getting Started
To get started with the Typing Speed Test Game, follow these steps:
1. **Clone the Repository**
```
git clone https://github.com/GZ30eee/typing-speed-app.git
cd typing-speed-app
```
2. **Open in Your Browser**
Open `index.html` in your preferred web browser.
## Usage
1. Start typing the displayed text in the input field.
2. The timer will start counting down from 60 seconds.
3. Your WPM, mistakes, and characters per minute (CPM) will be displayed in real-time.
4. Click the "Try Again" button to reset the game and load a new paragraph.
## How It Works
The game randomly selects a paragraph from a predefined list and displays it for the user to type. As the user types, the application tracks their input, calculates WPM and mistakes, and updates the display accordingly. The game ends when the timer reaches zero, at which point users can see their performance metrics.
### Key Functions
- `loadParagraph()`: Loads a random paragraph for typing.
- `initTyping()`: Handles user input and updates performance metrics.
- `initTimer()`: Manages the countdown timer.
- `resetGame()`: Resets all metrics and loads a new paragraph.
## Responsive Design
The Typing Speed Test Game is designed to be fully responsive, ensuring an optimal experience on devices of all sizes. The layout adjusts seamlessly for mobile phones, tablets, and desktops.
