cool mod, but can we have the gamepad variation mod? like combos or smth

typing is my special tea

finally, typing of the bound

Finally,
Isaac teaches typing

Seems very fun and remind me of a game called "the textorcist"

Thanks! :)

this is a really cool mod!

wow

wow that was fast! ty so much

It's kind of a pain to spawn with the console, since it's a modded item, so my advice is to use Mod Config Menu, since I added a button that gives you the item from there!

what command do I use if I want to spawn this item?

Two big changes!
Change 1: Added support for Mod Config Menu, with several toggles/buttons:
-- Locks all words when you type the wrong letter (on/off)
-- Rerolls all words when you type the wrong letter (on/off)
-- Damages Isaac when you type the wrong letter (on/off)
-- Adds a subtitle of the current word translated to Chinese (on/off)
-- Gives Isaac St. Dvorak's Tablet if he doesn't already have it

Change 2: The Chinese subtitles option! (yes I know I already covered them above) They were a huge headache to implement, but thanks to an external Java program and the debatable accuracy of Google Translate, it's implemented for those who want it!

Cheers!

Thank you so much for your hard work

That's asking a lot, I'll admit. That being said, I was planning on adding Mod Config Menu compatibility anyway, so I'll add that to the options! I can't promise it'll be implemented right away (since I'll have to make translations for half a dictionary's worth of English words), but if I automate it, it shouldn't take too long

English is not my first language. Can you add a Chinese translation under the word? So that I can learn English while practicing typing

Just pushed a patch based on user feedback! If you have feedback of your own that you'd like to give, feel free to put it here or in a discussion thread! I'd love to hear it. Anyway, on to the patch itself:

- The doors in the Mom fight can now be attacked by typing (this was actually an oversight! now the fight should be much more reasonable)
- The Haunt's ghosts can now be attacked by typing
- Typing a word now does a lot more damage to Mom in general
- Globins are now instantly killed by typing, instead of being reduced to goo
- Globins and Crazy Long Legs are now pushed back a little bit more by typing
- Isaac can no longer type while afraid
- Reduced the damage of Haemolacria significantly (it's still really good, don't worry)
- Haemolacria + Tractor Beam + Tablet now does damage even if the tear doesn't connect with the enemy

Enjoy!

Glad you had fun with it! Was there anything balance-wise that you think needs to be changed?

This mod is so fun, you did a great job with it. I made a video about it and had a great time!

No problem at all! I should probably put a disclaimer or something, since you’re not the first person to misunderstand that aspect of the mod

Ah okay, thank you. Sorry I'm a bit special sometimes

*Da Rules or the dev console, rather

Well, that's because the video's only for the sake of demonstrating what the item does! If you want to start with the item, use the custom challenge (or use Da Rules the dev console to spawn it in a normal run)

This mod isn't working for me. I have it enabled and did relaunch just in case. For whatever reason I don't have the keyboard spawn in front of me and don't see any text boxes below enemies

@Cazylia This mod actually does add a challenge like that! You start with the typing item and Brother Bobby, you’re blindfolded, and the challenge ends with Mom’s Heart.

Heya, do you think you can be able to done a mod with a challenge who use only this typing mechanics and who block the isaac tears possibility ?

Cool

Damn man, a lot of people didn't read that you need the keyboard item lol

Also, though I doubt this is the reason, do you have St. Dvorak’s Tablet in your inventory? The words won’t show up if you don’t have it.

Well, that's... uh-oh. Thanks for checking, I suppose! Did you have any other mods installed that might have messed with the text displaying? (though I'm not sure how they could mess with it without showing an error of some kind)

I've looked in Log folder and in the console, but there is no error message for the mod, but it still doesn't work, idk why.

fix your mod

I mentioned it somewhere down there, but I've been considering adding """controller support""" in the form of a DDR-esque set of arrows corresponding to the left stick and the right stick. But, I'm kinda burned out on looking at this code for the past few weeks, so I might channel those ideas into a different project sometime in the future and sleep on it for now.

ok nvm i tested it it does

does this work while a controller is plugged in?

Quick PSA: I'm not a mind-reader, and I also can't magically look into your game's files, so as much as I want to help the people who are only saying "it's broken, please help :( ", I physically cannot help you if I don't know what the problem is.

Now, there are three ways that you can help me diagnose the problem:

Option 1 is to find the log.txt file and tell me the errors that are being printed to the log. For me, it's located at C:\Users\MYNAME\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Repentance, but it might be slightly different for you.

Option 2 is to enable the Debug Console, and to look for error text in the console. You can enable the Console by going into C:\Users\MYNAME\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Repentance, finding options.ini, and changing "EnableDebugConsole=0" to "EnableDebugConsole=1". Then, load back into your run and check the console when the text refuses to appear.

(continued) Option 3 (if you can't do Option 1 or Option 2) is to tell me what mods and items you were using when the error occurred. I can't promise mod compatibility with every single mod, but I can at least try to fix it if I know that there's a conflict.

(To be clear, I'm not calling out specific people, but I can't fix the issues if I don't know what to fix)

Not working :( no words appear on screen, even if I spam my keyboard nothing happens, the words aren't just invisible they just don't exist

It's in the Treasure Room pool!

what item pool is St. Dvorak's Tablet

please help

If you're looking for ways to improve your typing skills, I'd recommend Typer Shark Deluxe. It's a lesser known PopCap game that's on Steam for a few bucks, and it's really great for getting better at typing fast (referring to the campaign, of course, since the typing tutor mode is not the best). To be honest, playing the game was part of the reason why I made this mod in the first place, since I had typing games on the brain when I got into making Isaac mods and I kinda just went, "Eh, why not?"

now after so many years i realised that my typing skills s00ck. maybe thats da wae to train my fingers.

and it wasn't working from the beggining in the challange
and in the normal run

@poondaedalin only cosmetic mods , boss health bars , mods with synergies with different items, da rules and mod comfig

doesnt work for me and i really want to play it :((

What mods are you using, and what items did you have when the item stopped working?

someone knows why words ain't poppin up for me?

no words pop up for me

This is the most transparent and responsive mod dev I've ever seen and you have my utmost respects.
