My exam this morning went quite well and I'm quite happy now that school is done for the rest of the week. I can finally put all my focus on the game jam! That's exactly what I plan to do today and for the rest of the week.
I have learned SO MANY THINGS today, here's a quick list:
How to add text boxes to the game,
How to take the data from a text box,
How to hide a text box after its done (idk why it took me so long to figure this now out),
How to save data to a .JSON file to use in different instances of a program,
How to read data from a .JSON file saved from a previous instance,
I can't wait to keep learning more :)
It seems like I've learned so much and I've made so much progress, but all I've really done is create a name selection screen that saves that name to a .JSON folder.
Here's a video of the menu in action! If someone types too many characters it will give them an error message and a chance to retry inputting their name! I don't have a further menu to go to so it just boots you back to the main menu rn but I'm really happy with this
