BackScript

Type the code once, let BackScript type it again...

BackScript is an innovative tool for developers and programming content creators! It retypes your code line-by-line, mimicking the experience of live coding. Perfect for tutorial videos, workshops, or presentations, BackScript ensures you have full control over the retyping speed and sequence.

Features

• Real-time Code Retyping: Delete and retype the entire code in a file automatically.
• Custom Typing Speed: Set the words-per-minute (WPM) speed to match your desired pace.
• Highlighting Capability: Under development.
• Replayable Code: Easily recreate the experience of writing code from scratch.
• Ideal for Content Creators: Enhance your programming tutorials and videos with a realistic typing effect.

Live Demo

Installation

To install BackScript, use npm:

npm install -g backscript

Usage

• Basic Command: Provide the path to the file you want to retype:

  backscript /path/to/your/codefile.js
  

  If the file path is not provided, BackScript will prompt you to input it as an argument.

• Set Typing Speed: Customize the typing speed with the --wpm option:

  backscript /path/to/your/codefile.js --wpm 50
  

  If the WPM option is not provided, BackScript defaults to an impressive 305 WPM — the typing speed of the world’s fastest typer! (Yes, we’re challenging you to keep up.)

• Highlight the Next Line: This feature is under development and will be available in future updates.

• Help Command: isDplay help information:

  backscript --help
  

Why Use BackScript?

• Engage Your Audience: Tutorials and coding videos become more interactive.
• Control Over Presentation: Retype code at your own pace, making complex concepts easier to follow.
• Save Time: Prewrite your code and let BackScript do the typing for you during live demonstrations.
