    typeracer-cheat

A program that allows one to achieve extremely high speeds on typeracer.com. This works only for the online races and the practice races - not for the race your friend mode.
How to setup:


First, make sure you have Selenium installed

To install Selenium, go to your command line and run pip install selenium


Then, make sure to have Chromedriver installed

To install Chromedriver, follow this video


Locate and copy the path to the location where you downloaded Chromedriver
Open the typeracer.py file and replace the path in the string: PATH = "YOUR_PATH_TO_CHROMEDRIVER"

How to run:


either run it direclty from your IDE
or open command line and run python3 typeracer.py or python typeracer.py depending on your OS and python version

Changing typing speed


to change the typing speed, locate this line in typeracer.py:

time.sleep(.01)

change the value inside the parentheses - .01 means that the typing speed is 1 character every .01 seconds, or 1 character every one-hundredth of a second

Note that this program only works for the online races and the practice races - it doesn't work for the race your friends mode.
