Typing Challenge - Beat my highscore!
Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2015 2:17 pm
Who dares accept the challenge?!
Warning! Make sure you take care of your hands and fingers... If you feel any pain at all you are advised to stop, take a rest and reconsider your posture.
TL;DR:
- Try to beat my highscore of level 73 on the below map, using Mode 1, starting level 25.
- Time needed to reach level 73 is 34 minutes. (Non-stop typing all the while.)
- My replay is attached as proof, as well as a screenshot.
Note: Trick/cheat used to copy/paste text:
You can hold down TAB and press ENTER to highlight everything in the chatbox. If you the press CTRL + C, then obviously the text will be copied. This is very useful to insta-kill complicated units like troll witch doctors. It's also useful when you see two of the same units in a row, since "Tab Enter Ctrl+C Enter Enter Ctrl+V Enter", while seemingly complicated, it actually is still faster than typing for example "peasant" twice (well, once you practice the hotkey sequence anyway
)!
Hey guys,
There is this map called "Typing Challenge" where Warcraft 3 units spawn and start going down a path. You have to type a unit's name to kill it (e.g. "footman", "crypt fiend" etc.). Each time a unit reaches the end of the path, you lose a life (you have 5 lives) but all units die (they keep spawning all the time though). Every so often the game levels up which increases the speed of unit spawning.
I haven't played it for a while so I thought I'd give it a try and managed to beat my old highscore. My new highscore is level 73.
Find the map attached, or use this link: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps.php?search=type&r=20&d=list&page=2.
Proof of my highscore is attached in the form of a screenshot and a replay.
Modes used:
1. At the start of the map, the game asks what mode you want, Mode 1 or Mode 2. Pick Mode 1. (I think this is whether units would have their names floating next to them or not. With Mode 1 unit names don't float next to them. So if you don't remember a unit's name, you have to click it.)
2. It will ask you what level you want to start at, or something similar. The maximum to start at is 25. Choose that. Until like level 40+ the game is pretty easy. (For me anyway.)
GL & HF. You'll need both
