No hacks =)



๐Ÿ“ HOW IT WORKS ๐Ÿ“

โœจ It starts with a blank variable for the name.

โœจ Each time the player interacts with a letter, that letter is appended to the name variable.

{name = name + "a"}

โœจ The reset button sets the name variable back to an empty string.

{name = ""}


I chose this keyboard layout for its simplicity and efficiency, though there are many other configurations that would work in other situations.

For a reference on how this technique could be applied in non-keyboard situations, check out the computer in my game Mix The Tape

Thank you for taking the time to view this demo and read this text. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer in the comments.

That's so is cool! I can't believe it hadn't even occurred to me that this is doable!

That was my first thought when I was figuring out how to do it, "surely this has been done before... it's too easy!"

Thanks! I built it as part of a character creator for a larger game that I'm currently developing.
