I need help Setting up a Typing program, got any Ideas?

One idea:
Make a big text actor and make it allow "input"

Then add save and load functions to save/load the text text.

what do you mean?

Make a text actor and make it input one. So you will have a place to type.

(Like the big white square in WordPad)

argh, what I mean is how to you set input.

its an option when you make a text actor.

my personal advice: give up :p

lack of word wrapping and only having the C string handling methods available makes working with any long texts a pain in GE. These can be overcome by using a fixed width font and writing some more useful string methods I guess, it just depends how much work you want to do!

I do not care how much work

if you allways give up you will never be able to accomplish things ^_^

hehe, well I agree with you, however I don't think the work involved would be worth the result. I made a post in feature suggestions about including a boundary box for text areas which would make this all much easier so I recommend backing up my idea in the features forum or whatever its called
