Ah, yeah. Sorry about that. That's something I was concerned about when making this game. I didn't know if my own ability to type would skew my sense of difficulty. But yes, your impression is entirely correct. At it's most basic, it is a timing and typing speed challenge.
If you're stuck because of this, here's a few tips:
- Type "#" to comment out a segment of code; this allows you to pre-write a command, and then delete the comment marker and save.
- Hold CTRL when using Backspace or the Arrow keys; if you use Google Docs or Microsoft Word enough, you know how this works.
- If worst comes to worst, you can type "north east", "south west", etc. to move diagonally.
- If you softlock yourself somehow, CTRL+R resets the level.
