Keyboard Typing Rhythm Game for Capstone I
This game has some similarities with Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution. Players start by choosing a song. Then during the actual gameplay, letters will come up from the bottom of the screen and players are expected to type them once they reach their respective hitbox (which should coincide with the beat of the song). There are 8 hitboxes to show the recommended finger to use to type the given letter. There is also a multiplier if the player types enough letters correct in a row. At the end, the score along with total correct and incorrect letters will appear and the player can choose a new song or quit.
