Made this out of a whim, because I felt like it'd be fun to create a game of touch typing/code writing in the era where people say it's dead. Hope it's fun :p

Hey this is really cool! Would you consider adding a light mode though? It helps if one has astigmatism (I do lol)

Noted! I'll add, the plan is for it to be user customization heavy, so i'll aim for that

This is a cool project. Any thoughts on adding different time limit options like 60s or 120s?
