TODO

  • implement ctrl-backspace to previous delete an entire word

  • add alternate screen on which the game will be run without changing the state of the root terminal

  • make this project a library + binary (so that i can use the lib inside examples or other project crates)

  • add music

  • add progress bar for showing how much text is left to type

  • use another linker and more stuff from that article to improve compile time speed

  • you can bench the MusicPlayer load time, if its so slow

  • handle screen resize, just update the term height and width inside the TyperacerUI

  • if you want to have mutliple threads you can use channels/crossbeam-channels/arc<mutexAppState>> to send data and to tell the music thread to stop the music completely or to pause the music resources: - https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/7um395/dynamic_load_at_compile_time/

    why do i want a thread for music?

    1. well, the load time for the music is very slow and we need to do that on a separate thread while printing the UI instantly and start playing
    2. also you cant send the Music player between thread cuz Soloud (*mut *mut c_void) cannot ne sent between threads safely, so it doesnt implement Send Sync traits

    idea: add music state which is represented by an enum

    pub enum MusicState {
    Stopped,
    Paused,
    Playing
}

    another cool idea: add this music state as field to AppState

  • remove the arc.clone() every time you pass app state to Typeracer methods

  • improve music player with methods like

    • stop_playing
    • pause_playing
    • is_playing

  • improve project quality by adding a better readme, import from other rust projects, by adding CI, by adding tests for individual methods or functions

  • load the music files using rayon crate for parallelism

  • improve performance of the code

  • add configuration for the UI layout to please the user; maybe some users want to see the WPM at the bottom; maybe some users dont want to see WPM at all

  • add option to pause the song in the middle of the game

  • add option to mute (Soloud::set_volume(0.0)?;) the song in the middle of the game

  • add auto detection of window lostfocus and then the game should pause automatically

  • add a stopwatch that is on a separate thread which can be paused for when i pause the game

  • to solve this error:

    error[E0277]: RefCell<usize> cannot be shared between threads safely EDIT (29.10.2022-17:39): - this error originates from the usage of Arc<Mutex<&AppState>>; notice: the &reference; - the problem is that even im using a reference to app state, and that reference cant be sync; - removing the & solves the problem

    2 options: 1. use Mutex for every field on AppState (EDIT: dont need to, the ref was the problem) 2. send MusicState enum as a message between threads to communicate with the music player and to stuff accordingly

  • right now cant use unicode inside the текст fix unicode errors like this one: byte index 201 is not a char boundary; it is inside '’' (bytes 200..203)

    maybe with: - unicode segmentation - unicode crates stuff

  • add option from cli and config to show invisibles like tab or \n

  • fix typeracer game logic inside the match block, some things are redundant

  • add option for the border type

pub enum BorderType {
    Round,
    Square
}
