Word Processor

Post by Tuxion »

Hi, I'm a beginner in programming

Sorry for my poor English.

I'm trying to program a word processor to type the letters and numbers that we want one after the other, but I haven't found a way to do it...

Do you have any examples?

Here is a very small example. This shows you the basic idea.

Have a look here:

There's an example for erasing text when backspace is pressed. :nyu:

Hi Tuxion - the linked page explains what it is and why it is used, and has a link to the library itself.

utf8 is a LÖVE built-in library. Other built-in libraries are socket and enet, and from LuaJIT, ffi and jit.

UTF8 allows you to use strings containing non English characters.
