Aww, you should add in a type writer sound - I did that with a typing tutor game, had the return key play the bell too. It's weird but it makes you type differently, like a 1960's secretary or something (minus the big hair and short skirt of course).

You should also check this one, it has a type writer effect too.
And it is with bmp fonts, which is better.

Sure it's simple but also badass and sweet. I wrote a similar effect at some point, but doubt my code was as concise and neat as this.

Typewriter effects are awesome. Resident Evil and Alien Breed. I'm sure they contributed to the awesomeness of both these franchises. Welcome to Intex Systems.

Well, this is the basic idea for adding a sound. You just need to find a better and suitable sound to use and your own way to play the sound only when the v value is <> the previous OLDv value

I'm pretty sure windows has a typewriter sound, so find that and everyone can use it without media... sort of.
