Historical significance
Developed by Samuel Morse during the 1830s and 1840s, the telegraph ushered in an era of fast communication over long distances.
The first message transmitted via telegraphon May 24, 1844 from Morse to his assistant. Your first task is to tap out that original message. Samuel Morse's messaeg was dictated by Miss Annie Ellsworth. Your messages are dictated by falling letters.
The telegraph revolutionized communication by allowing messages to be transmitted almost instantly via a series of electrical signals. The rusulting faster communication left an impact on multiple industries and society at large during the Industrial Revolution, facilitating the exchange of ideas and information on a global scale.
There are more fun facts (and easter eggs) provided at the end of each level.
I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it. All feedback welcomed and appreciated.
