Editable text for MUD?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Editable text for MUD?

Does BlitzMax have support for editable text? I was hoping to create a Multi-User Dungeon (MUD) type game which would require the user to type various text commands and scroll back through previous text messages etc. Indeed the whole user environment would be text based. I'm sure this can be achieved with BlitzPlus but would be delighted to learn that BlitzMax can be used likewise.

Eagerly,

There is no command to do this directly but you should take a look to my Console Module which shows how you could do it.

Link is in my sig.(source comes with it)

I hope this helps you.

Any programming language that outputs text can be used to make a MUD of some kind.. BlitzMax has various ways of displaying text.

As with any kind of game, you have to make your own functions that makes it work.
