love.textinput
| Available since LÖVE 0.9.0 |
| This function is not supported in earlier versions. |
Called when text has been entered by the user. For example if shift-2 is pressed on an American keyboard layout, the text "@" will be generated.
Function
Synopsis
Arguments
string text- The UTF-8 encoded unicode text.
Returns
Nothing.
Notes
Although Lua strings can store UTF-8 encoded unicode text just fine, many functions in Lua's string library will not treat the text as you might expect. For example, #text (and string.len(text)) will give the number of bytes in the string, rather than the number of unicode characters. The Lua wiki and a presentation by one of Lua's creators give more in-depth explanations, with some tips.
Examples
Record and print text the user writes.
text = "Type away! -- "
end
function love.textinput(t)
text = text .. t
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.printf(text, 0, 0, love.graphics.getWidth())
end
