I didn't immediately get it that it's a typing game, maybe there should be a blinking cursor as you type. Also, I wish I could send with Enter, so I wouldn't have to use mouse.
I didn't have any sounds either, I expected to have different sounds for correct and incorrect key strokes.
Yes, the text placeholder was added in a hacky way so a lot of stuff was not included.
Thanks for playing and feedback. Cheers.
That's pretty funny :D I was so slow cause I kept wanting to read everything
Thanks for playing, slower is better, that means you’re a good maintainer :)
Clever interpretation on the theme, merging PRs never crossed my mind haha. It's fun and the UI looks good!
I think being able to press CTRL + ENTER (or ENTER, given that no PRs needed writing new lines), would make it more enjoyable and would match the "speed running" nature of it.
Got a bit lost before I understood I had to type at the start.
Thankss!
Yhh, no PRs needed writing new lines is not a feature, there were newlines, but I wasn’t able to handle them correctly so I had to remove them :sweat_smile:
Buy “Ctrl + Enter” make sense.
I actually like this quite a bit. I'm often a *little* cynical so its good to see a reminder of respectful behavior looks like online.
Except for AI, they deserve all the reprimand.
Yeahh! Glad you liked it <3
Nice one! Used it as a little typing practice :)
I have to say it would be nice if somehow the spaces would be also highlighted after getting typed, I was getting confused at times and did not know if I already put space or not.
(418s - I really sat to read and try to understand all the PR's lol)
Thanks for playing!
You are the real maintainer among us :<
Yes, even I get trapped by that (play testing this one was a pain). But didn’t know how to highlight.
How this is working is kinda hacky. I’m rendering 2 text on top of each other, one with low alpha, and the opaque one is the one you type. It’s not like I’m highlighting certain characters of the text (I wasn’t able to find out how to do that).
Ohh this hits me right in the feels haha. Always trying to write nice replies to randoms on the internet because they did try, but sometimes are just noobs and submit crap. Apart from not intuitively knowing I need to start typing the dark text, (which could maybe be fixed by adding a blinking cursor). It looks reasonably polished! Consistent old school PC UI.
In conclusion, good job for inciting such a powerful feeling in me in a game :D
(Forgot to mention, I was a bit slow, like 307 I think)
Yh, I was aware of that, that’s why I had to write in the game page description :sweat_smile:. It’s not really an input box, so I didn’t know how to add a blinking cursor, but now that I think about it, I could’ve just used
_which blinks at the end of the text.Will probably do that once the jam is over.
Thankss for playingg!!!
Not sure if that’s slow, you were at least able to complete, and I think majority of the people won’t even complete it.
