About the Game

HyakuTyping is a typing software based on the Hyakunin Isshu.

You can practice typing in Roman alphabet input while memorizing the Hyakunin Isshu.

Overview

There are two ways to play: "Lower Line Typing," in which you look at the upper line as it gradually appears and type out the lower line, and "Upper Line Typing," in which you look at the card that represents the lower line and type out the first two letters of the upper line.

These typing modes are divided into stages for each fixed character in the Hyakunin Isshu, so you can type out the poems for each fixed character as you memorize them.

Typing the lower sentence

In the Shimo-Kai typing game, if you are touched by the oncoming Yokai, the game will be over. To counter this, summon a family unit that attacks according to your typing to repel the Yokai. Family units can be strengthened with skill points, but ultimately the key to victory is to memorize the waka poems, input them in advance, and type them accurately without any mistakes!

Upper phrase typing

The Upper Verse Typing is a game designed to help you memorize the waka poems of the Hyakunin Isshu. Look at the displayed lower verse card and type in the first two characters of the upper verse.

HyakuTyping

The game involves typing out randomly generated waka poems, regardless of the set of characters. The number of waka poems can be 20, 40, 60, or 80, not just 100.

Your typing results in this mode can be displayed in a chart so you can check your typing improvement.
