Typeracer Bot

This project was one of my first Python projects, where I created a Selenium bot in Python to play TypeRacer for me.

Back in 2020, the plaintext of the TypeRacer game was not obfuscated and made available on the HTML, so I was able to scrape the text and use it to type out the words at a speed of over 170 WPM. I found that this was the upper limit to the typing speed as the game would not allow you to type any faster than that.

I used the pyautogui library to simulate keyboard input and the selenium library to control the browser.

Here’s a YouTube short of the bot in action (somehow the only video I took was a phone recording of my computer screen):
