You are invited along and are met by the Park Engineer. He explains that the development park is the site of a new and very special tourist attraction and will feature several buildings of great interest along with a lovely new villa for the tour guide.\n \nWhat It All Involves For You.\n\nThe Park Engineer explains that all of the brick laying on the new site is carried out by an automated system. However, all of the bricks to be used have been obtained at a special cheap price due to underfunding. For this reason, it is necessary to check the quality of each brick as it comes into the site from the supplier. To check the quality of each brick, you must enter the serial code that appears on each one as it enters the site. The automatic brick layer will then check that code with its records and use the brick for building. brick.story2;Caution\n\nThe Engineer warns you that you must try to enter the code on each brick before it reaches the conveyor belt on the brick layer! If you do not, the automatic brick layer will not recognise the brick and will discard it, thinking that it is not up to quality. \n\nUnfortunately, the brick laying machine, being the first of its kind, still has a few faults and has taken to dumping all discarded bricks in a rather dangerous and unstable pile right next to the building site. The Park Engineer says that he wouldn't like to think what would happen if the pile got too high...!\n\nYour Ultimate Aim\n\nYour goal is to build as many fine tourist attractions as possible without causing any damage to the development site.\n\nFarewell...\n\nYou are given a keyboard terminal to input the serial codes with and are wished good luck... button.skipsit;Skip How Not To Sit choice.always;Always choice.delImpExp;Allow delete/import/export choice.disableBrickFact;Disable Brick Facory choice.disableSafPark;Disable Safari Park choice.forTime;For a length of time, in minutes choice.skipIntro;Skip intro quiz choice.trCustom;Custom Directory choice.trHome;Users home directory choice.untilPercent;Until a percentage of the keyboard is learned completed course.stacktitle;Completed Course donttouchwizardsnose;OI!

This starts you from the beginning by showing you the home keys. Intermediate is suitable if you know some keys, and have learned how to position your hands over the home keys, but aren≈t completely confident with the whole keyboard. Alternatively, if you are an advanced typist you can start practicing on the entire keyboard. You won≈t be taught the positions of the keys, but will instead start typing text that contains all the keys. Choose this option if you want to use Ten Thumbs more as a refresher course than as an introduction to the keyboard.\n\nWe have recommended an option based on your test results, but you can select a different option if you feel it would better suit your circumstances. infoQuiz.experience.ttcanteach;Ten Thumbs can teach you to touch type from the very beginning. You start out learning the home keys and then get introduced to more keys when you are ready.\n\nAlternatively, if you are an advanced touch typist, you can start out at the end. You won't be taught the positions of the keys, but will instead start with a touch typing test using all the keys. Choose this option if you want to use Ten Thumbs more as a refresher course than as an introduction to the keyboard.\n\nIf you are somewhere in-between the two, we recommend you start out as a beginner. The program will monitor your progress, and you'll advance through the keys quickly until you meet ones that you are not so good at.\n\nPlease select: infoquiz.keyboardText;Please select the keyboard layout you would like to learn infoquiz.lesson.main;A typical student will start off practicing for half an hour or so a day. As they get further through the course, they gradually reduce to practicing for 10 or 15 minutes a day until they reach their target.\n\nEveryone takes a different amount of time to complete the process.\n\nWhere possible, we recommend you practice for a short time once or twice a day, rather than doing longer but more spread out practice sessions.\n\nWe recommend you spend the majority of your practice time doing lessons. Split the rest between the Games and Revision wizard!\n\nTen Thumbs can time your lessons for you and exit to a Report every few minutes.\n\nA setting of five minutes is right for many. How long would you like lessons to be? infoquiz.live.text;When you are practicing in lessons, the area immediately below the text you are typing can display either a speed graph or a picture keyboard.\n\nTen Thumbs recommends that you use the automatic setting.

However, some people prefer to type in even smaller blocks.\n\nTen thumbs can automatically work out how long to make the length of the lines in your lessons. At the start of the course, lines are short. As you get more proficient, they gradually expand to be a full screen width. infoQuiz.skipIntrp;Are you sure you want to skip this introduction and quiz?

What is your target?\n\nMany people type at 30 WPM. This speed is usually sufficient if you are only likely to be typing occasionally. If you need to type regularly or professionally, you probably want to aim at between 40 and 60 WPM.\n\nIf you want to get to the very top of the typing pool, aim at 60 WPM plus. However, above 60 WPM is probably too high a climb for most people.\n\nSelect your target Words Per Minute infoquiz.teachmenum;Yes, teach me the number and symbol keys. infoquiz.tellMeMore;Tell Me More infoQuiz.tookFreeTest2;If you didn't take the test, click Continue to start Ten Thumbs at the beginning. infoQuiz.tookFreeTest;Did you take the free touch typing test on our web site?

A Quick Summary of Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor

Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor is a package based on our previous and much acclaimed program, Learn To Type v1.5. Ten Thumbs has several new features but above all is larger to look at and has a much more appealing interface.

Using the information which you give in the Quiz when you first use the program, Ten Thumbs tailors a typing course suitable for you whether you are a beginner (like most of us) or a touch typist already.

You will be introduced to the keys of the keyboard and you will progress to learn new keys when you have reached a reasonable level of speed and accuracy in your lessons.

If at any time, you feel you could do with extra practice in a key then you can go to the revison section where you will be shown how to type it properly.

Two games are provided, allowing you to relax in between lessons and fingering instruction whilst still gaining the practice you need!

In addition you have Ten Thumbs himself, to help keep you company on your treck to touch typerdom.

Changing your Learning Preferences

If at any time you would like to change any of your personal settings, for example, your target typing speed, you may do so very simply.

Click the Options button on the button bar at the bottom of the screen. On the Options screen, click the "Personal Settings" button. You will be able to alter the preferences that you entered in the Quiz when you first started using Ten Thumbs plus a few more. text.ttttHelp.display4;

Adding your own music to the games

You can change the music used in the games by placing Quicktime files in the Music folder inside the Ten Thumbs Folder. If that doesn't mean anything to you, don't worry about it: enjoy the music provided instead!

These instructions are intended for network administrators only.

As of the 2.2 release, you can install Ten Thumbs on a shared folder on a network server.

If the Ten Thumbs directory is writeable then no further configuration should be required.

However, the Ten Thumbs directory no longer needs to be writeable. By default, student files are saved into the "students" directory, which is on the same level as Ten Thumbs. It is possible to change the directory that is used using the Teacher menu (available from the first screen after running the program). You can select another directory, or enter a path. Relative paths are accepted, as are complete paths to a network folder somewhere. If you are editing the path manually, please note that the UNIX standard "/" character is used on all editions regardless of platform.

If you have multiple classes of students in a school environment, you may want to create a directory for each class, named the same as that class. At the begninning of the lesson, the teacher can then input that class name on the teacher screen, making it easier for everyone to access their files.

Also please note that in order to register the application, the "save" file in the Data directory must be writeable. Thus you should register the program with full access permissions on the server it is installed on.

If you are installing Ten Thumbs on a multiplatform network be sure to use the latest version of Ten Thumbs on all platforms.

The text you are typing now is being used as a base to assess your progress. However, don't be concerned if you aren't typing very well - after all, the purpose of this program is to help you get better. Here are a few number and symbol keys for you to type. Try a phone number: 0012843756. What about an e-mail address - e.g. ab@cd.efg - quite short! 23% of 43 = 200 ^ 0.0032 - 2 + 4 = $29 or $90. We hope you enjoy the course. After you have finished typing this, you will get your first report. Good luck! warning.noCompletedTest;You did not type any complete lines of text.
