SLIDGE has the ability to modify and display data, and everything that it works with is stored within a ds_map data structure. In this example, I'm using a set of styled choice buttons to simulate an on-screen keyboard.
It's possible to re-create this scene in your own game, or to merge the scenes and styles listed below into your own, and then to add something like a “Done” button or something that goes on to the next part of your game.
Data gathered through this keyboard is available by checking the ds_map “global.register” for the value of “name_input.”
You can also use the handy SLIDGE function to do this: playerName = ds_map_lookup(global.register, “name_input”, “”);
And of course you can incorporate the data into the SLIDGE engine simply by placing the code tag [r=name_input] anywhere in which you'd prefer the data to appear. If the data is not set, nothing will be drawn.
BEFORE modifying anything in %localappdata%, make backups!!! This is your game data we're messing with here!
