Lundy Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Yeah, I am really not sure how. They're hacking the java or they are simulating keystrokes very fast, and I'm not sure how. Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/276938-how-fast-can-you-type-the-alphabet/page/3/#findComment-585368008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
parad0x Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 It's pretty simple to throw together a VB app that uses SendKey() to send the entire alphabet to the applet rapidly. It took me about 30 seconds to get a time of 0.091s, and I'm really not sure if there's a way to prevent that. It's also not very difficult to reverse engineer the applet (java is easy to decompile :)) and submit whatever score you want.

elliot Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Yeah I made a vb app it sends abcdefg....wxy then waits for 0.5 seconds and sends z btw nice game, it's a shame a few people have to spoil it for the rest. :pinch: ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/276938-how-fast-can-you-type-the-alphabet/page/3/#findComment-585368154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSauron Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Lets be honest, what's the fastest no cheat time. I'm guessing about 2.5 seconds.

Lundy Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Yeah, I am thinking of just setting a minimum value to be 2.0 seconds or something and deleting anything less than that. It's pretty much impossible to be faster.

ZTrang Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I'm curious, do people with DVORAK keyboards get faster scores than those who use QWERTY? Because I've heard somewhere that you can type faster using the DVORAK style than the standard layout.
