I don't know why, but I felt an urge to try to make this behave like a real text editor. You can do it setting the min and max angle to 0, which of course produces a straight line of text. Then, when you want a newline, set the min and max angle to 90, hit space, set both to 270, hit space, and then back to 0 again, and proceed with typing.

Something about bringing order to this tiny little chaos made me happy, I guess.

Typing bunch of gibberish without spaces allows you to delete everything with Ctrl+Backspace. Satisfying!

You can also use Ctrl+A and backspace to do the same thing with spaces

The crackle sound effect really adds to it!

I tried hard to understand, but in the end i didn't. Seems like a fun demo, but is there any purpose or use for this outside of typing a couple of sentences?

I think the turn radious should be inversely proportional to the typing speed. It just feels wrong to have the text move so fast but also take such sharp turns

Very satisfying and captivating demo, even though this is quite simple.

I really wish there was a way to save the typed text, though.

This Is Not Working (in Firefox)

Working in Android FF, maybe a little too much - can not exit full screen. For a moment felt like the 90's scripts where alert() in a loop would lock you in a browser window.

Well it sure did work for me. Are you using no-JS by any chance ?
mtVessel · 3 years ago
Nope. Maybe it's just me.
