This is really great. I’m wondering if is possible to create a text input field using this using only the arrow keys to change the letters, like in old arcade games. Do you think this is at all possible? I have a flash game I’m going to install on one of the MAME emulator machines and would be great to add high scores using this kind of text input. Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks

My compiler keeps reporting the error:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Void.

How do I code it if I don’t want a restart button, but for it to auto-restart after a given amount of time? (loop)
