Io.read() workaround?

Hello friends, I see that its not possible to use io.read in Renoise. Any way to make it possible?

Regards.

What have you tried?

This post suggests io.read works

Hey thanks for your reply!

I want to make a game so I need some kind of method that allows to wait for the user’s input.

Something along the line of:

print(“Hi, whats your name”)
local name = io.read()
print(“Nice to meet you”, name)

Where do you expect this to run? In the developer terminal? In a custom tool GUI?

It does not matter to me if its the terminal or a custom GUI, I just needed a way to make the code wait for the user’s response.

However it occurred to me that I can use multiple buttons to guide the program. Since my game is simple I can achieve it with this :blush:
