hi,

i`ve got a somehow strange task to do. it should be something like a text adventure in pd. there should be just an interface where i can enter text. the text should be read out as a string and should trigger dependencies in a pd patch.

has somebody written some abstraction with that kind of feature?

well i know that pd is not really the best platform for establishing text adventures... (but for unexplainable reasons it should be done in pd... :) )

regards wolfgang

with standard symbol boxes (hit ctrl-4) you can enter text by clicking on it when not in edit mode, typing the text and hitting enter. you can also get a more traditional text entry widget with toxy, check out the patch toxy\test\toxy\defaults-test.pd for an example
