I need help trying to get love2d working on my iPhone. The Script will run but I can't get the keyboard to appear and using a bluetooth keyboard just doesn't send input. This is the game: https://github.com/RGFTheCoder/public-file-place/blob/master/cclite.love?raw=true

Solution

  • How can I use text input on mobile devices?

    love.keyboard.setTextInput(true)

    You can enable the on-screen keyboard on touch/mobile devices, by using love.keyboard.setTextInput(enable) (since 0.9.0). If enabled the on-screen keyboard should appear.

    You can further specify the area where the text will appear, by using love.keyboard.setTextInput(enable, x, y, w, h) (since 0.10.0). This tells that OS to avoid covering up that area.
