hi friends,

i'm invloving in creating a game and in the game i'm using all images to display and if want to get the user's name and displayed in a page, for example in a high scores page, how can get those input from user by letting him/her type the name .

is there any area element for getting the text inputs from the user like the one in HTML.

pl help me ,

Use these to get input:

keypressed();
readkey();

and these to draw to screen:

textprintf()/textprintf_ex();
line();
rect();

There is an area element just like the one in HTML. It is documented in the GUI section of the Allegro manual.

RTM on GUI routines in general, and d_edit_proc() in particular.

BTW, this is not an allegro development question.
