hello quicks

Hello Quiks is a project about how physical space matters not to a computer program and how it is important to a person. By forcing the user to type in keys based on spacial direction instructions, the user is made to be more aware of the physical presence of each key as oppose to a computer program which cares not where the keys are relative to each other. A computer program only understands numbers, and in terms of a trivial input as typing hello world, it only understand the numeric ascii values of the word, but not the physical location how the word would be attained by a human. The project was originally suppose to be a human typing the first ever word that supposedly ever appeared on a computer " hello world" however because of a bug in the program, the result surprisingly is "hello quiks"
