Yeah it's not truly a typewriter simulator, more of just a constrained editor that forces you to either live with mistakes or think more deeply about your words as you type.
I played around with overlapping letters and got it working somewhat well, but everything else like printing got more complicated.
It's also got auto word wrap that wouldn't be available on a conventional typewriter. I think some electronic typewriters that had a buffer of letters to fill before it "printed" them had word wrap, but that's not what people usually think of.
You'd also be able on a typewriter to do more creative things like type literally anywhere on the vertical axis, not just in lines like I've enforced here.
