About this game

Slam Dunk Typing is an educational computer game that features typing skills and uses a basketball sport theme targeted for ages 10 and up. There are six drills included in the game: Passing, Heads Up, Slam Dunk, Horse, Game Time, and Sports Reporter.

In Passing, the player must type in the letters on the keyboard in order to pass the basketball to another player. Free throws can be made as well. Heads Up requires the player to type in the letters that appear on the basketballs. In Slam Dunk, the player needs to be quick at typing in order to score a hoop. In Horse, the player needs to type correctly to get the ball to bounce off various obstacles, and going into the hoop. Game Time simulates a real basketball game with the player typing in the word that appears above the hoop in order to score or block the shot.

The last drill is the Sports Reporter, which is a speed test featuring articles of many popular basketball players.
