Download the one sprite and one script of "Scratch Typewriter" and open it in Scratch Project Notes
This is a simple typewriter program for Scratch using only 1 sprite and 1 huge script. It supports letters, numbers, periods, and spaces. There is no backspace function as of yet. Use the down arrow key to make a period. Use the up arrow key when pressing a letter to make it capital. All other keys are normal. (Scratch needs full keyboard sensing support...) This program is sometimes unresponsive or too responsive. It still has a few bugs.

This was made 3 months ago. That was made 3 weeks ago. How can I steal something from the future?
STOLEN FROM (link to project)
STOLEN !!!
Cool.
Actually, that only works on numbers.
I figured it out: hold the up arrow while holding down a key. It'll get stuck.
I found a bug: I don't know what I did, but somehow the c kept going forever and made a screenful of c's when I wasn't pressing anything.
I've tried to do that, but for some reason it doesn't work...Maybe I'll try again.
"swithch"??
A backspace function can be had by creating just one extra variable: last-length. When a key is pressed, set last-length to the length of the letter. Then, if you press... whatever you press to do a backspace, it will swithch to a thin rectangle and repeat last-length: go back one and stamp. It might take awhile to actually delete the letter, but it was just a suggestion.
it sometimes goes to fast or dosent respond.But i think thats just a glitch.....right? Anyway, i think its quite good and took alot of work. Iam gonna give it a lovelet.
SSSSsoomettimees iit wwritttess likke tthiss..
Itttt goas tooooo fst or dsnt respnd
its cool but you cant delete and it makes some spelling errors i think
cool but to kenyacat come on man its actully really cool and scratch isnt just for games it can make games video like things and interactive things like this so dont be so rude
i agree
It is =P
Cool. Only one script and one sprite. Must be one long script.
This may be boring but it's very cool how people design their flag in their own way.
cool
bigB: I've put different space lengths for each letter, so a backspace would be more complicated than just that.
I have made a very similiar project at (link to project) It has backspace feature but no capitals.
I like this project, especially the uppercase function is very promising.
do you reckon a backspace could be done by just moving backwards and stamping a white rectangle? you could use the left arrow.
I think you should probably add typwriter sounds aswell. I dont know how but you should.
...it's not a game, and it's basically Microsoft Word in Scratch. How are you going to do a spellcheck in Scratch?
To me this game seemed REALLY boring. Why use this when you can just use microsoft? I mean, it's really hard, you can't delete there's no spellcheck...Jeez! Maybe you could try structuring it a little...like write so and so on the keyboard. I think it would be a LOT funner.
Very interesting S65! I have *just* made a very similar project (link to project) though I didn't add a lot of the features you did. I like how you put in CAPITALIZATION and punctuation. I think you can speed it up by changing your big forever loop. Instead of using lots of "if's" you can use nested "if-else's". That way if the letter is found the process can stop. If you put the most common letters (a e o r s t l n etc.) first, it will be even faster. Nice project.
