We are extraordinarily pleased to announce the FIRST STABLE release (version 1.0) of Tux Typing! Tux Typing is an "edutainment" typing tutor game starring Tux, the Linux Penguin.

This release (version 1.0) is the result of over a year of development. It is a stable release, meaning it is feature-complete and should be relatively bug-free.

You can find Tux Typing 1.0 for your platform of choice at the Tux Typing download page:

Please note that the theme/internationalization support is still very preliminary! We will not be fully supporting it until after our 1.0 release. However, we do have some internationalization themes already done which you can use. Presently we have themes for French, Dansk, and American Sign Language (ASL). These themes can be found on our themes page at:

• Fixed the tutorial screen crashing bugs (yahoo!)
• Fixed "yellow outline" graphic bug
• GIF->PNG image transition
• SDL & cross-platform (non-POSIX) build fixes
• Added Keyboard Support in Menu
• Fixed Tux anim bug (when keys held down)
• "Congrats" bug fix
• Many, many, many bug fixes!
• Win32 support.

After much toiling, trials, and tribulation, we are pleased to announce the release of Tux Typing, version 0.8!

Note this is a semi-major release, because Tux Typing is now "feature complete" (meaning we've finished all the features we originally intended to have in the game ;-)

Changes from the 0.7 release:

• Fixed several menu glitches
• Fixed menu performance problems (hopefully ;-)
• Fixed Title Screen clipping bug
• Fixed gameplay overclipping bug
• Added Word Cascade Tutorial (still buggy :/ )
• Minor makefile tweak to fix "hidden option" bug
• Other misc bugfixes and code-cleanup
