Typing Game with Python and Turtle (Source Code Included)

Develop a typing game to improve keyboard skill as demonstrated in the following YouTube video.

At any moment ten random letters fall from the top of screen. When you hit a correct letter from keyboard, that letter disappears and is replaced by a new random letter dropping from the top. Also, your score will increase by 1. When you hit an incorrect letter, your score will decrease by 1.

Make these letters fall at random speeds and also let the speed increase gradually as time progresses. The game will end when a letter falls to the bottom of the screen.

You will need to use Turtle’s ontimer() and onkey() events to implement this project.
