You are standing in an open field as usual, or perhaps you're in the
darkness, likely to be eaten by a grue, but the words aren't etching
their way into your soul from the familiar computer terminal -- they're
on freshly printed paper. Like a player piano, the Automatypewriter
lets you play games like Zork
by automatically keying in letters via a series of solenoids and
fishing line to tell you where you are, and it records your input, too;
every time you type "XYZZY" in vain, it's an Arduino board that sends signals to the text parser, which directs a hollow voice to pity your foolish word. Forget the iPad typewriter -- this
is old-school. See it in action after the break, or hit the source link
for the schematics to build one yourself.
