hey everyone, I have created an instant messenger app in LUA. it works PERFECTLY, except there is no... text... input. It is hard-coded into the script.

So, I'm looking for someone who can code me a nice text input, then I can release it!

Those of you interested, please reply!

Thanks!

Hmm....
Well, I completely forgot about a GUI. If I need help, I'll PM you, thanks.

Woah Sam! that sounds sweet! Could we get screenshots of what you have right now by any chance?

**PSPHax0r9** · 01-19-2006, 07:41 PM

Could you use an app like p-sprint or F.O.S.K?

**nathan42100** · 01-19-2006, 07:51 PM

And you were able to test this how? especially with no keyboard support. I could help with the graphics.

is this IR adhoc or the other wifi?

**[AFX]** · 01-19-2006, 07:54 PM

Sounds good! What type of instant messenger? MSN? AOL? Or is it between two PSP's? Either way, it sounds great!

Post a screenshot too (please).

**Eternal-Cowboy** · 01-19-2006, 08:02 PM

Hahahah I just remembered. I just upgraded to 2.6!!

**Shatterdome** · 01-19-2006, 11:16 PM

I think he's testing it by using a string he defines in the code, and you could send that just to make sure that the psp's can send stuff back and forth...

What he needs is somethig like p-sprint...look into it, as it's probably you're best option, other then writing your own keyboard program...

**soccerPMN** · 01-20-2006, 05:10 AM

Source for a LUA text input right here:

This looks interesting. Perhaps you could release a screenshot, video demo, beta, etc?? :icon_wink

**spam23** · 01-20-2006, 05:12 AM

please no psprint

a simple pick and choose keyboard would be a thousand times better

**will1234** · 01-20-2006, 08:36 AM

he cant use p-sprint anyways its coded in c and his program is in lua

**muratcan** · 01-20-2006, 08:38 AM

wow brilliant another brilliant piece of coding. I think everyone can agree and say that for the last few weeks homebrew has shot up and is almost as great as the hayday of the early summer 2005.

**xigency** · 01-20-2006, 09:34 AM

do you have a master server? otherwise how would users conect and talk to whomever the like.

**Master Inuyasha** · 01-20-2006, 01:38 PM

I think it's an adhoc IM'er

wondering the samething.

if it is ad-hoc. thats cool, but not quite what i expected. it would be like the psp version of pictochat.

would still love a port of one of the major chat protocols, aim, msn, yahoo.
is jabber open source? or any of the multi chat progs?

**youresam** · 01-20-2006, 03:18 PM

Wow, lots of replys!

Heres the low-down. (I was going to post in the first post, but decided not to)

All it is a a black screen reading an online text file. It devides the text file into a table, then displays the last 34 lines of it. (of course, there is no server info in there

)

triangle refreshes the page, takes .75 seconds.
cross posts your username, a ': ', then the message. example:
if the message is 'hi' and my user is 'youresam', it would say:
youresam: hi

I didnt want to release this to the public before because the text file might get too many posts then the point of chatting would be useless (especially spammers)

But, since im [FINALLY] ungrounded, I didnt feel like working on it.
the PHP file on the internet uses a script to write to a text file.... so its like IRC.

Works perfectly, hard-coded message in there saying 'hello world!', so if anybody is interested in helping me, I would be glad to give it to you.

oh, and heres the text file.

[its in LUA, you cant use AD-HOC!]

Look, I dont need any help testing, but more of a bit of code for input text. Thats all. I wont have any 'betas' or anything, just a quick chat prog.
