So, I'm playing Torn City, which is a text-based online game. Every December, there is an event in the game called Christmas Town, where you can explore Christmas-themed maps for loot. In there, there are also mini-games that you can play. This year (2021), they added the Typocalypse mini-game where gifts move along two conveyors. The gifts are tagged with some text. Typing the text in the input box will make the gift disappear and you get a point. The gifts are spawned from the topmost conveyor, then falls on to the next conveyor, then falls down again to some threshold, which will trigger a loss.
tl;dr it's quite similar to Typer Shark Deluxe.
I type very slowly. I can only maintain 60 wpm for extended periods of time on English text. I can only get a maximum of 43 points. So I was kinda sad that there are people reaching 60-120 points in the mini-game. I thought I can just write a script that will type for me.
There are helpers that already exist for most of the other mini-games. Typocalypse is a new mini-game, so there is no helper for it yet. Typocalypse is the first one that actually requires typing and also is obvious how the score is being derived.
The mini-games give rewards, but they are not based on the outcome. Because of that, this cheat does not actually give an unfair advantage to other players when it comes to rewards. This cheat only takes the fun out of the mini-game. It's not like you'll brag about a cheated score, right? Right?
