Ja, and we played Core War back in the 1970s, which was script vs script.  Oh what fun we had back in those heady days, just trying to imagine what this technology would eventually do.  

This keystroke prediction algorithm is an interesting problem however, for there is a strategy I thought of which would defeat those who would try to exploit the software.  I think I can write a script which would insure you can’t get below about 50%.  We can probably rig up a demonstration of some sort.  If the guy who wrote the game were to share the code for how to count the Fs and the Js, I could write the algorithm and probably code it in JavaScript, if that is what he used.
