A big green area on screen — - Short tap = Dit - Long tap = Dah The system automatically recognizes the characters based on your tapping rhythm. It's like texting your crush in Morse code — though they probably won't understand it anyway. Multiplayer Radio — The Real Deal Chat with nearby friends using P2P technology! Pick a channel from 1-10, find someone on the same frequency, and exchange messages in pure Morse code. No emojis, no voice messages — just raw dits and dahs.
