Word Processor

[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?

[Xugro]

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

Thanks ! But if i want to use the backspace to delete one letter at a time, how do i do that?

Have a look here:
https://love2d.org/wiki/love.textinput
There's an example for erasing text when backspace is pressed.

Thank you! it works but I don't understand what this utf8 is for, what is its function?

I see a require but I don't have the utf8.lua, how can it work?

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

[pgimeno]

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.
