CHEAT type racer using python .
This project cheats typeracer (http://play.typeracer.com) using Python libraries such as Selenium and Pynput
You will need 2 Python libraries : Selenium and Pynput you can download them using pip
pip install selenium
pip install pynput
I've also used PYFIGLET but it is not really necessary as all it does is add ASCII text. You can delete that command if you want but if you really want ascii text , go ahead and download pyfiglet as well using pip
Selenium requires an additional chrome driver for running chrome . I have used chrome driver in this project because i prefer chrome , If you prefer some other browser you can download that specific selenium webdriver for that browser
Chromedriver can be downloaded from here : https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=80.0.3987.106/
I prefer chromedriver version 80 as i use google chrome version 80 .If you use some other version of chrome , download that specific driver from here : https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
Once chrome driver is downloaded , create a folder called webdrivers in the same directory as your python file, Like i've done in mine.

Once you've done that , you're all good to go
(1) First you gotta select which mode you want to use, There are 3 modes in typeracer
You have to select them in your console , NOT IN THE BROWSER
Type in 1,2 or 3 to select a mode
(2) Once you've selected the mode , The typerace will be loading and the console will ask you another input
type in y and hit ENTER just before the race is about to begin
the program will take 3 seconds to start typing , so you must click on the typing box before that . If you want to inscrease or decrease this time , You can always do that by messing with the code
(3) Switch to the browser that the program opened and click on the typing box
(4) Sit back and watch the program type out everything for you. If you want to increase the typing speed , Go back to the code and decrease this time
if you selected MODE 2 : RACE WITH YOUR FRIENDS , then do not enter y immediately when the program asks you Do you want to start(y/n):
Send the invite link to your friends and wait for them to join. Once they have , click join race and when the race is about to begin , Go back to the console and enter y. once you've done that , immediatly switch back to the browser and click on the typing box (the box where you type stuff in the race)
