Day 24 - Input Prank

Tonight's application runs silently in the background, and screws with the keyboard input. Typically I do a screen shot, but in this case, there is nothing to screen shot. Instead I'll write the pledge of allegiance below, with the args 20 10 2 passed to the application:

ŸI!pledge alegiance to the flg,"of te unjed states of amekca.# ¢¢And# o he rrepubic, ffor wwhich it stnds one ation, UgE GOD, with libey, aandjustie for aall

It has 3 different styles of achieving this prank:
Replace - replaces the pressed character with a psuedo-random replacement.
Consume - consumes the pressed key (does not get pressed).
Repeat - repeats the pressed key.

This application should be run from the console, and running with no args provides a brief help box. It's named "ankey.exe" so it won't look too obvious in task manager. You can rename it anything you'd like (but the Utils DLL must remain the same). The three args are the settings above. Run it with 500 500 500 to really trick people into thinking that their keyboard is broke. Run it with 20 10 2 to piss people off completely - but they'll know something is up!
