Domine habilidades de estenotipia e digitação por meio de desafios arcade viciantes em Steno Arcade. Este pacote indie free-to-play aprimora os fundamentos em quatro jogos, começando pelo título em Early Access Steno Hero. Os jogadores acertam acordes de estenotipia ou teclas do teclado no ritmo para combinar com as letras de sete faixas de artistas como Hungry Lucy, Brad Sucks e Jonathan Coulton.
A jogabilidade rítmica simula karaokê com os dedos, exigindo precisão em músicas mais rápidas que favorecem máquinas de estenotipia em vez de teclados padrão. Um teclado NKRO libera todo o potencial da estenotipia para runs de alta precisão. Jogadores casuais que treinam velocidade de digitação ou estenógrafos que aprimoram acordes encontram a ferramenta de prática open-source perfeita no PC.
Steno Arcade is a suite of four arcade games designed to teach and drill steno and keyboarding fundamentals in an immersive, addictive, responsive, and interactive way. Steno Arcade is 100% free and open source and works with any steno machine or keyboard.
The Early Access build of Steno Arcade includes one of the four games in the suite, Steno Hero! Imagine your favorite rhythm games, but instead of pressing buttons that vaguely emulate the original instruments, you're hitting steno chords or keyboard keys to precisely and accurately produce the lyrics to your favorite music! It's like singing karaoke with your fingers! Steno Hero currently includes seven songs, with more to be added over time:
“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
While Steno Arcade is designed to be played with a steno machine, it can also be looked at as a traditional typing game that can be played with any standard keyboard. You only need an NKRO (N-key rollover) keyboard if you intend to learn stenography and want to play the game using steno. For example, the slower, easier songs in Steno Hero are perfectly playable using a standard keyboard, but when you get to the faster, harder songs you may find yourself having trouble keeping up with a standard keyboard and will need to use steno if you want to complete the songs with a high level of accuracy and precision.
