TuxTyping
TuxTyping is an educational typing tutorial game starring Tux, the Linux Penguin. The player guides Tux to eat fish which are falling from the top of the screen. Each fish has a letter or a word written on it. Another mode of gameplay is to stop comets from destroying cities. There is also a mode for players to learn the correct finger positions.
