Typing, but someone’s racing you.
For people who practise typing and want someone to race. They practised alone. I built a ranked one-on-one arena: live duels, a chess-style rating, checks for cheating, and ghost replays of earlier runs when nobody’s around.

VICTORY
A simulation, not the app. The ghost is a replay generated in your browser the way the app seeds its ghosts; it is never a live opponent. The scoring, accuracy and rating formulas are the app’s own; the rating change is a sample and nothing is saved.
What it’s for
Four parts, plainly.
02
By hand, until now
They practised typing alone.
03
What I built
A ranked one-on-one typing arena with live duels, a chess-style rating and checks for cheating. You can also race a ghost replay of an earlier run.
04
Where it is
Live and private: a web app plus a separate server.
Rough edges
The small print.
- HostingThe server needs its own always-on host; it cannot run on the web host alone.
Honest line: it’s private, so there’s no public link to play. The race above runs only in this page.
