Keyboard not appearing on mobile

#1 Post by lindsay-jb »

Hey! So I’m having trouble when playing the game in browser on itch.io on the small screen for mobile. When it gets to input text, the keyboard just won’t appear, so you can’t enter anything, and you can’t go on. So it just gets stuck. I attached what it looks like. I’ve searched and googled and haven’t found anything on this topic, and I’ve looked through screens/GUI for what might control it but I’m at a loss. Anyone know what’s going on? I can share coding if necessary but I don’t even know what I would need to share.

You could 'fake' the input screen for mobile devices using custom screen with keyboard. Check this receipt - viewtopic.php?f=51&t=29958#p352941
