HyakuTyping

HyakuTyping is a typing game based on the Hyakunin Isshu. You practice Roman alphabet input while memorizing its waka poems, through modes that ask you to type either the lower or upper verse.

Typing modes

In Lower Line Typing, you watch the upper line appear gradually and type the lower line. In Upper Line Typing, you look at a card showing the lower line and type the first two letters of the upper line. Both modes are divided into stages based on fixed characters in the Hyakunin Isshu, letting you practice the poems associated with each character.

Lower Line Typing also has a game in which oncoming Yokai end the run if they touch you. You summon a family unit that attacks in response to your typing to repel them, and can strengthen the unit with skill points. Memorizing the waka poems, entering them in advance and typing accurately without mistakes are key to winning.

Random poem practice

HyakuTyping also presents randomly generated waka poems regardless of their set of characters. You can choose a set of 20, 40, 60 or 80 poems, and view your results in a chart to track your typing improvement.
