Some games, like Superhot, have a neat little feature where you can mash on the keyboard and no matter what you actually type in, a predefined message comes out. This macro provides a similar function to Twine.
THE CODE: Minified. Pretty.
DEMO: Available.
GUIDE: Not available.
Syntax:<<typesim text>>...<</typesim>>
The <<typesim>> macro creates a text area. When focused, the user's keystrokes generate a predefined message one letter at a time, simulating typing but ignoring the actual input. After the message is finished, any text or code between the macro tags is displayed / run.
Note
Any output is shown as a <div> beneath the text area; this means you'll need to watch your spacing.
- text: a string of text; a predefined message that is 'typed' out by the player.
Usage:
You begin typing the email to your boss:
<<typesim "Hey Jim, I won't be in to work today, sorry.">>[[Send the email.|next passage]]<</typesim>>
Styling Options:
The <textarea> generated will just use SugarCube's standard styling. If you want to alter its appearance, it has the class .macro-typesim.
