Interface
There is a practice mode for learning the basics of typing. There are also two games.[4] In the first, fish are falling from the sky. Each fish has a letter or a word written on it. When the player presses the corresponding key, or types the appropriate word, Tux will position himself to eat the fish.[5] The second game is similar, but the goal is to prevent comets from falling on a city. When a comet lands on the city, the shield will be removed. Then if it is hit again without the shield, it disappears. If it is hit by a comet while the city is destroyed, points will be deducted. In both games, different languages can be selected as a source for the words.[4]
