Typewriter Monkey by Marcel Oyuela-Bonzani
A monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will eventually type the complete works of William Shakespeare.
TIP: The first letter is "R".
Believe it or not you can actually beat this.
Note: Shakespeare's image doesn't seem to work on safari.

(nice game tho)
~44 letters when just typing as fast as possible, stupid PROLOGUE!
So......I actually do like playing typing games and this one isn't half bad lol. I realllly like the concept of something being revealed or something happening as you're typing something out, haven't quite seen that before. I definitely got very nervous as I went further cuz punishment is so heavy, but such is the curse of typos.
I'd love to see someone write up a monkey script to play this and see how long it takes.
It really fits the theme, quite literally, and is a nice concept, but gets easily boring. i guess it is more of an experimentation than a game. Hum, nice?
1. Displaying the text onscreen would be helpful
2. Ignoring newline/whitespace would be nice
3. I like the music and gradually increasing image.
I think it could be cool if you didn't require people to look at Romeo and Juliet outside of the game
And I was struggling with 'R' too. Requiring capitalization is a bit too much I think :)
Idea is awesome and original. If made a bit more 'gamey' in some fashion could be one of the top entries.
