June 14, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

Small CLI children's typing game (4/5 years old). The program shows a word and the child has to type it letter by letter.

Currently supported languages are:

  • en: English
  • es: Spanish
  • eu: Basque
  • id: Indonesian

If you install the "espeak-ng" package, the program will read the word and the result aloud.

Usage

You can launch the program in your terminal with learntype command or launch a custom xterm setup with good fonts and size with learntype-xterm.

Both take two arguments, -l LANG for the language and -n NAME for the child's name. When the child achieves a good score, the program greets the child with a personalized message.

Installation

You require a working tcl/tk installation. Install as any other make project.

$ make install
