Tux Typing can be obtained from the Tux Typing homepage at
http://www.geekcomix.com/dm/tuxtype/.
There you can obtain source code and binary distributions of Tux Typing.
(The following is a rough estimate, anyone care to test this software
out and give me better numbers?)
Tux Typing requires a computer with the following hardware as a minimum:
- 200 Mhz Pentium class CPU
- 32 Megs of RAM
- 2 Megs Video RAM
- 80 Megs of Hard Drive space (if downloading the entire source code as well as installing binaries)
- Keyboard and Mouse
However, it is recommended that you have at least:
- 300 Mhz Pentium II clase CPU
- 64 Megs of RAM
- 4 Megs Video RAM
- 80 Megs of Hard Drive space
- Keyboard and Mouse
Tux Typing also requires the latest stable version of SDL: Simple Direct Media Layer
library as well as SDL_Mixer and SDL_Image (also available from the SDL web-site).
In order to compile and install Tux Typing on your system, as root (superuser) type the following in
the base directory of the Tuxtype distribution:
% ./configure
% make
% make install
Since Tux Typing uses
autoconf
you should have not trouble
compiling it.
Should you run into problems please report them to the the author at
Sam Hart
If you obtained a binary distribution of Tux Typing (eg, in a format such as RPM or DEB)
then please consult your documentation on how to install such packages on your system.
