how can I create a virtual command prompt GUI for my game?
I want to create a game that expands on the idea of the beginning of "Memory of a broken dimension" which can be found here: http://www.datatragedy.com/wipmoabd/
I want to recreate the command line interface shown there (recreated in my own way of course) i just need to know how to make the interface itself, scrolling effects, and how to make the game respond to specific commands. any help you can give me would be great! and yes i am new to unity.
High-level, one approach is to start with a simple GUI.BOX or other element to display yourText, position below that a GUI element to capture player input and when they hit enter take the input and act on it. Do you have any code parts in particular you need help with?
I had a similar idea for the interface, unfortunately with being new to unity i am not sure how to script it. I was thinking about making the system somewhat similar to a chat bot, where there is an array of recognized commands and then the game would print out what i wanted it to into the GUI.BOX
