Kids Typing Practice

A typing game for kids built with Go and HTMX. A sentence appears on screen — type it correctly and a funny video clip plays as a reward.

Stack

• Go — HTTP server, sentence + clips API
• HTMX — frontend interactivity, no JS framework
• Static HTML/CSS frontend

How to run

Requirements: Go 1.18+

git clone https://github.com/nerryc/KidsTypingPractice.git
cd KidsTypingPractice
go run main.go

Open http://localhost:8080.

Adding sentences

Open main.go and add strings to the sentences slice:

var sentences = []string{
    "The cat sat on the mat.",
    "Your new sentence here.",
    // ...
}

Adding video clips

Drop .mp4 files into static/clips/. They are served automatically — no code changes needed. A random clip plays each time a sentence is typed correctly.
