Why?

A team project for a software engineering course. The goal was to ship something end-to-end (backend, database, frontend) using Spring Boot and JPA.

The product side was a typing test aimed at younger learners: pick a difficulty, type the passage, get a WPM score, land on a leaderboard.

What?

A Spring Boot web app backed by MySQL via JPA. Three controllers handle the home/leaderboard view, the typing page, and score submission. Levels are seeded from a SQL file with thirty short passages tagged EASY, MEDIUM, or HARD. Vanilla JS on the frontend runs the timer, colors characters as you type, and auto-submits when the passage is finished.
