HaxType -- HackerTyper in ComputerCraft!

Yeah, yeah, we all love our friend hackertyper.com so we can pretend to be fabulous hackers. Why not bring it to CC? That's what I've done. It's called "HaxType", and it's probably not the best thing made, but it's fun.

What's it do?
If you don't know what hackertyper.com does already, it lets you spam random keys and instead of the keys you type being shown, code appears. I've recreated exactly that in ComputerCraft.

Installation
Type "pastebin get ZhesVbCi haxtype" into your shell and run the file "haxtype". Spam keys to your heart's content.

Customizing
If you don't want to be stuck with Firewolf, you can modify the file "haxtype.txt" to edit what text is shown!
Furthermore, you can set it to a file directly with the command:

haxtype set <file>

For example:

haxtype set rom/programs/shell

I can't install haxtype.txt!
Enable the HTTP API, it should already be enabled when you download the program. If you have it enabled and it still doesn't work, copy the code at http://pastebin.com/raw/A7wGH3ty and paste it in the file "haxtype.txt".
If you're on 1.63, you'll have to whitelist "raw.githubusercontent.com" in your config file.
If all else fails, check your internet connection.

Yes, text likes to wrap around, it wasn't designed for long strings, okay? :(/>

Thanks to GravityScore and 1lann for Firewolf, the default code! http://www.computerc...nternals-again/
Thanks to Simone Masiero for hackertyper.com!

Cool, slightly useless, but cool none the less.

It's not supposed to be useful, but thanks! :D/>

I just wasted around 5 mins of my life, doing absolutely nothing.

Cool program

Cool, just one quick suggestion:
Add diferent speeds.
Instead of the constant 3 chars per type speed:

	  dex = dex + 1
	  if dex <= len then
	    write(string.sub(code,dex,dex))
	  end
dex = dex + 1
    if dex <= len then
	  write(string.sub(code,dex,dex))
    end
dex = dex + 1
    if dex <= len then
	  write(string.sub(code,dex,dex))
    end
    dex = dex + 1
    if dex <= len then
	  write(string.sub(code,dex,dex))
    end

Having a customizable speed:

speed = 4
for i = 1, speed do
	  dex = dex + 1
	  if dex <= len then
	    write(string.sub(code,dex,dex))
	  end
end

Or randomizable.

so like… this?

That's where thebidea came from

doesnt work for me i downloaded the paste bin ran the program it said
haxtype.txt does not exist, creating
haxtype :39: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

Fixed! Thanks!

I actually showed the web version to one of my friends in IT class and he fell for it. Was pretty fun.

Forgot one thing: deleting stuff, I know its unnecessary but still, would be cool to have, or you could randomize some errors for the user to have and then if he saw it, he could delete it and rewrite the code :D/> And at the end error count :)/>

EDIT: Hellah awesome!

This is pretty cool, would be nice if it maintained the color highlighting of code in the advanced computer.

It would not. It would be like the edit highlighting engine. Literally like it.
