Mindf@*k Keyboard

Typing is hard. We all know how difficult it is at times to press the right keys in the right combinations at the right times. It's a skill and it takes a lot of effort and coordination to do it effectively.

That's why we made it harder.

What is this?

This is a terrible soft-keyboard for Android devices, written in 8 hours for Terrible Hack Waterloo. On every keypress, the the keyboard layout is randomized to make typing just so much more fun.

IT'S NOT A BUG IT'S A FEATURE!!!1

When using this thing, you might notice that as you type, you wind up with fewer and fewer available keys. This is because we are abusing Android... and Java sucks.

Don't worry though, this software is supposed to absolutely useless! :grinning:

Requirements

This awful keyboard requires a minimum of Android 4.3 (API 18).

You need either (a) a working Android device on 4.3+ or (b) the Android emulator on an appropriate desktop system.

It is also probably a good idea not to have this app installed as the only keyboard on your system.

Caveats

If you need to reset the key layout to the default QWERTY (sorry DVORAK geeks!) then you will need to temporarily change input methods to a different keyboard, then change back.
