1) well, is it just me or does the default font look not that great... SOLVED
2) typing... how do you input some stuff to a game... weird without keyboard, and you cant implement a whole editor with keyboard (and expect a user/child) to learn it... SOLVED
3) the only good part on entering text to a game is, that most of the time you only need a nick, which is usually quite short!

long speech short point ;)



thats my idea of selecting a nick in a childish way..
you can grab the sourcecode in a ZIP file on my homepage
the zip includes:

font
char-selector
lua sourcecode

i added some other pixfonts (ready2use for luaplayer) (and a link to another nice collection)
once again, feel free to grab the source and add it to your game
(and maybe add me in credits :)) )

as usual critics welcome

greets
Lumo

PS:
CREDITS GO TO LPut:
for math.round
and i modded the function for the ellipse to return me an array with x|y values instead of drawing em to screen

Looks nice!! I was thinking of something like this myself....Great work

[MikeHaggar]

Nice work ;)

Some suggestions:

Shouldn't it be 0-9 instead of 1-9,0?

And how bout adding backspace (something like <-) and end?

[LuMo]

this can be easily fixed, cause the chars are taken from an string (which will be transformed to an array/table ;) )

heh, forgot to mention the controls
X --> adds the character
/\ --> remove an character
START ends input
note the typed stuff is shown on bottom (as in picture above)
