Easily getting text strings from user

[Hallvard]

I'm relatively new to LÖVE, but I've got some experience with lua. I can't seem to figure out how to, easily, get a string from the player.

Like a prompt, or something similar. Right now, the only thing I can think of is if'ing everything, just like with a normal input, for, say, walking left or right.

Thanks, I'll use it.

What a coincidence by the way, me and Magnusson have known each other for a long time.
