As I'd set up a linux system to teach all aspects of programming, I was interested in learning to type as a precursor to learning to program. Tuxtype was the first and obvious choice.</div><div><br></div><div>I noticed that it gathers wonderful statistics in the lessons where we started, but when you type the last character of the lesson: Shazam! They disappear and you'll never find them.</div><div><br></div><div>I checked out several alternative programs (google), and though they had features I liked, it seems that in 2018 this where we are, I could see no reason that a different program would serve me better.</div><div><br></div><div>So I would like to tinker with the software so that I can keep the stats. A useful first step would be to simply print them out on the console, like:</div><div>lesson 1 <start timestamp> <endtimestamp> statDescrTxt:number <span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">statDescrTxt:number </span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">(a single long line, tab separated text fields).</span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">This would allow redirection of stdout, like:</span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">tuxtype --verbose >> mySonsRecord.txt</span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></span></span></div><div>MY QUESTIONS: </div><div><br></div><div>1 Is this already done, did I miss something?</div><div><br></div><div>2 Any suggestions on how I could tweak the code locally to do this?</div><div><br></div><div>3 If there is interest at your end, how would I feed my result back to the next release version?</div><div><br></div><div>I am looking at: <a href="https://github.com/tux4kids/tuxtype" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://github.com/tux4kids/tuxtype</a></div><div><br></div><div>I have a lot of (C,C++) programming experience, but not in linux development. I assume it is using git, and I can look into that for getting a current version. I use git on my local projects so have a basic knowledge. </div><div><br></div><div>Any feedback appreciated, Jeff Towers</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"></div></div></body></html>
