Steno Arcade

Steno Arcade is a suite of four arcade games designed to teach and drill stenography and keyboarding fundamentals. Its Early Access build includes Steno Hero, a rhythm game where you enter lyrics to songs by pressing steno chords or keyboard keys.

Steno Hero

Steno Hero currently includes seven songs:

• “Sunday Smiled” by Hungry Lucy
• “The Standing Ones” by Hungry Lucy
• “I Think I Started a Trend” by Brad Sucks
• “I’m Your Moon” by Jonathan Coulton
• “Mandelbrot Set” by Jonathan Coulton
• “That Spells DNA” by Jonathan Coulton
• “I Feel Fantastic” by Jonathan Coulton

Steno and keyboard play

The game is designed for a steno machine, but you can also play it as a typing game with a standard keyboard. Slower, easier songs are playable on a standard keyboard; faster, harder songs may require steno to complete with a high level of accuracy and precision. Learning stenography and playing with steno requires an NKRO (N-key rollover) keyboard.

Steno Arcade is built on the Godot open-source game engine. Its source is to be released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license upon completion.
