Python WPM Typing Test

A command-line tool written in Python that measures your typing speed and calculates your Words Per Minute (WPM). It utilizes the curses module to provide an enhanced terminal interface, live color-coded feedback, scrolling prompts, and high-score persistence.

Features

• Real-Time WPM & Accuracy: Measures your typing speed and error rate live as you type.
• Scrolling Prompts: Automatically handles prompts of any length with smooth line-wrapping and terminal boundary safety.
• Terminal Resize Handling: Pauses gracefully if the window is resized below minimum usable dimensions.
• High Score Tracking: Saves your personal best speed and accuracy to a local file.
• Input Safety: Strictly filters input to accept printable characters while properly handling Backspace and ESC exits.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• (Note: curses comes built-in with Python on Linux/macOS. If you are on Windows, you will need to install the Windows-compatible curses wrapper):

  pip install windows-curses
